DESCRIPTION
These procedures manage a collection of bitmaps (one-plane
pixmaps) being used by an application. The procedures allow
bitmaps to be re-used efficiently, thereby avoiding server
overhead, and also allow bitmaps to be named with character
strings.
Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj returns a Pixmap identifier for a bit- |
map that matches the description in objPtr and is suitable |
for use in tkwin. It re-uses an existing bitmap, if possi- |
ble, and creates a new one otherwise. ObjPtr's value must |
have one of the following forms:
@fileName FileName must be the name of a file
containing a bitmap description in the
standard X11 or X10 format.
name Name must be the name of a bitmap
defined previously with a call to
Tk_DefineBitmap. The following names
are pre-defined by Tk:
error The international "don't"
symbol: a circle with a
diagonal line across it.
gray75 ||
75% gray: a checkerboard |
pattern where three out of |
four bits are on.
gray50 50% gray: a checkerboard
pattern where every other
bit is on.
gray25 ||
25% gray: a checkerboard |
pattern where one out of |
every four bits is on.
gray12 12.5% gray: a pattern where
one-eighth of the bits are
on, consisting of every
fourth pixel in every other
row.
hourglass An hourglass symbol.
info A large letter ``i''.
questhead The silhouette of a human
head, with a question mark
in it.
question A large question-mark.
warning A large exclamation point.
In addition, the following pre-defined
names are available only on the Macin-
tosh platform:
document A generic document.
stationery Document stationery.
edition The edition symbol.
application Generic application icon.
accessory A desk accessory.
folder Generic folder icon.
pfolder A locked folder.
trash A trash can.
floppy A floppy disk.
ramdisk A floppy disk with chip.
cdrom A cd disk icon.
preferences A folder with prefs symbol.
querydoc A database document icon.
stop A stop sign.
note A face with ballon words.
caution A triangle with an exclama-
tion point.
Under normal conditions, Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj returns an |
identifier for the requested bitmap. If an error occurs in |
creating the bitmap, such as when objPtr refers to a non- |
existent file, then None is returned and an error message is |
left in interp's result if interp isn't NULL. |
Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj caches information about the return |
value in objPtr, which speeds up future calls to procedures |
such as Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj and Tk_GetBitmapFromObj. |
Tk_GetBitmap is identical to Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj except |
that the description of the bitmap is specified with a |
string instead of an object. This prevents Tk_GetBitmap |
from caching the return value, so Tk_GetBitmap is less effi- |
cient than Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj. |
Tk_GetBitmapFromObj returns the token for an existing bit- |
map, given the window and description used to create the |
bitmap. Tk_GetBitmapFromObj doesn't actually create the |
bitmap; the bitmap must already have been created with a |
previous call to Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj or Tk_GetBitmap. The |
return value is cached in objPtr, which speeds up future |
calls to Tk_GetBitmapFromObj with the same objPtr and tkwin.
Tk_DefineBitmap associates a name with in-memory bitmap data
so that the name can be used in later calls to
Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj or Tk_GetBitmap. The nameId argument
gives a name for the bitmap; it must not previously have
been used in a call to Tk_DefineBitmap. The arguments
source, width, and height describe the bitmap.
Tk_DefineBitmap normally returns TCL_OK; if an error occurs
(e.g. a bitmap named nameId has already been defined) then
TCL_ERROR is returned and an error message is left in
interp->result. Note: Tk_DefineBitmap expects the memory
pointed to by source to be static: Tk_DefineBitmap doesn't
make a private copy of this memory, but uses the bytes
pointed to by source later in calls to Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj
or Tk_GetBitmap.
Typically Tk_DefineBitmap is used by #include-ing a bitmap
file directly into a C program and then referencing the
variables defined by the file. For example, suppose there
exists a file stip.bitmap, which was created by the bitmap
program and contains a stipple pattern. The following code
uses Tk_DefineBitmap to define a new bitmap named foo: |
Pixmap bitmap; |
#include "stip.bitmap" |
Tk_DefineBitmap(interp, "foo", stip_bits, |
stip_width, stip_height); |
... |
bitmap = Tk_GetBitmap(interp, tkwin, "foo"); |
This code causes the bitmap file to be read at compile-time
and incorporates the bitmap information into the program's
executable image. The same bitmap file could be read at
run-time using Tk_GetBitmap: |
Pixmap bitmap; |
bitmap = Tk_GetBitmap(interp, tkwin, "@stip.bitmap"); |
The second form is a bit more flexible (the file could be
modified after the program has been compiled, or a different
string could be provided to read a different file), but it
is a little slower and requires the bitmap file to exist
separately from the program.
Tk maintains a database of all the bitmaps that are
currently in use. Whenever possible, it will return an
existing bitmap rather than creating a new one. When a bit-
map is no longer used, Tk will release it automatically.
This approach can substantially reduce server overhead, so
Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj and Tk_GetBitmap should generally be
used in preference to Xlib procedures like XReadBitmapFile.
The bitmaps returned by Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj and
Tk_GetBitmap are shared, so callers should never modify
them. If a bitmap must be modified dynamically, then it
should be created by calling Xlib procedures such as XRead-
BitmapFile or XCreatePixmap directly.
The procedure Tk_NameOfBitmap is roughly the inverse of
Tk_GetBitmap. Given an X Pixmap argument, it returns the
textual description that was passed to Tk_GetBitmap when the
bitmap was created. Bitmap must have been the return value
from a previous call to Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj or
Tk_GetBitmap.
Tk_SizeOfBitmap returns the dimensions of its bitmap argu-
ment in the words pointed to by the widthPtr and heightPtr
arguments. As with Tk_NameOfBitmap, bitmap must have been
created by Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj or Tk_GetBitmap.
When a bitmap is no longer needed, Tk_FreeBitmapFromObj or |
Tk_FreeBitmap should be called to release it. For |
Tk_FreeBitmapFromObj the bitmap to release is specified with |
the same information used to create it; for Tk_FreeBitmap |
the bitmap to release is specified with its Pixmap token. |
There should be exactly one call to Tk_FreeBitmapFromObj or |
Tk_FreeBitmap for each call to Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj or |
Tk_GetBitmap.
BUGS
In determining whether an existing bitmap can be used to
satisfy a new request, Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj and
Tk_GetBitmap consider only the immediate value of the string
description. For example, when a file name is passed to
Tk_GetBitmap, Tk_GetBitmap will assume it is safe to re-use
an existing bitmap created from the same file name: it will
not check to see whether the file itself has changed, or
whether the current directory has changed, thereby causing
the name to refer to a different file.
