KEYWORDS
NAME Tk_GetPixelsFromObj, Tk_GetPixels, Tk_GetMMFromObj, Tk_GetScreenMM - translate between strings and screen units SYNOPSIS#include <tk.h>
int
Tk_GetPixelsFromObj(interp, tkwin, objPtr, intPtr)
int
Tk_GetPixels(interp, tkwin, string, intPtr)
int
Tk_GetMMFromObj(interp, tkwin, objPtr, doublePtr)
int
Tk_GetScreenMM(interp, tkwin, string, doublePtr)
ARGUMENTS
-
Tcl_Interp *interp (in)
-
Interpreter to use for error reporting.
-
Tk_Window tkwin (in)
-
Window whose screen geometry determines the conversion between absolute units and pixels.
-
Tcl_Obj *objPtr (in/out)
-
String value specifies a distance on the screen; internal rep will be modified to cache converted distance.
-
char *string (in)
-
Same as objPtr except specification of distance is passed as a string.
-
int *intPtr (out)
-
Pointer to location in which to store converted distance in pixels.
-
double *doublePtr (out)
-
Pointer to location in which to store converted distance in millimeters.
DESCRIPTION These procedures take as argument a specification of distance on the screen (objPtr or string) and compute the corresponding distance either in integer pixels or floating-point millimeters. In either case, objPtr or string specifies a screen distance as a floating-point number followed by one of the following characters that indicates units:
-
<none>
-
The number specifies a distance in pixels.
-
c
-
The number specifies a distance in centimeters on the screen.
-
i
-
The number specifies a distance in inches on the screen.
-
m
-
The number specifies a distance in millimeters on the screen.
-
p
-
The number specifies a distance in printer's points (1/72 inch) on the screen.
Tk_GetPixelsFromObj converts the value of objPtr to the nearest even number of pixels and stores that value at *intPtr. It returns TCL_OK under normal circumstances. If an error occurs (e.g. objPtr contains a number followed by a character that isn't one of the ones above) then TCL_ERROR is returned and an error message is left in interp's result if interp isn't NULL. Tk_GetPixelsFromObj caches information about the return value in objPtr, which speeds up future calls to Tk_GetPixelsFromObj with the same objPtr.
Tk_GetPixels is identical to Tk_GetPixelsFromObj except that the screen distance is specified with a string instead of an object. This prevents Tk_GetPixels from caching the return value, so Tk_GetAnchor is less efficient than Tk_GetPixelsFromObj.
Tk_GetMMFromObj and Tk_GetScreenMM are similar to Tk_GetPixelsFromObj and Tk_GetPixels (respectively) except that they convert the screen distance to millimeters and store a double-precision floating-point result at *doublePtr.
KEYWORDScentimeters, convert, inches, millimeters, pixels, points, screen units
