img-pixmap(n)                                                                                  img-pixmap(n)



NAME
       img-pixmap - Img, Pixmap Image type (pixmap)

SYNOPSIS
       package require Tk

       package require img::pixmap  ?1.3?

       image create pixmap ?name? ?options?

       imageName option ?arg arg ...?

       imageName cget option

       imageName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?


DESCRIPTION
       The  package img::pixmap is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img sup-port, support,
       port, via package require Img, or on its own, via package require img::pixmap.

       Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command image.

       In contrast to all other sub packages this packages does not extend Tk's photo image type, but rather
       provides a completely new image type, on the same level as photo and bitmap.

CREATING PIXMAPS
       Like all images, pixmaps are created using the image create command.

       image create pixmap ?name? ?options?
              Pixmaps support the following options:

              -data string
                     Specifies the contents of the source pixmap as a string. The string must adhere to  X11
                     pixmap  format  (e.g., as generated by the pixmap program). If both the -data and -file
                     options are specified, the -data option takes precedence.

              -file name
                     name gives the name of a file whose contents define the source pixmap.  The  file  must
                     adhere to X11 pixmap format (e.g., as generated by the pixmap program).

IMAGE COMMAND
       When  a pixmap image is created, Tk also creates a new com mand whose name is the same as the image.
       This command may be used to invoke various operations on the image.  It  has  the  following  general
       form:

       imageName option ?arg arg ...?
              Option  and  the  args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are
              possible for pixmap images:

       imageName cget option
              Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any  of
              the values accepted by the image create pixmap command.

       imageName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
              Query  or modify the configuration options for the image. If no option is specified, returns a
              list describing all of the available options for imageName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for  informa-tion information
              tion  on  the  format  of  this  list). If option is specified with no value, then the command
              returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identi cal  to  the  corre-sponding corresponding
              sponding  sublist  of  the  value returned if no option is specified).  If one or more option-value optionvalue
              value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given option(s)  to  have  the  given
              value(s);  in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values
              accepted by the image create pixmap command.
