(out) These procedures are invoked by widgets that wish to display images. Tk_GetImage is invoked by a widget when it first decides to display an image. name gives the name of the desired image and tkwin identifies the window where the image will be displayed. Tk_GetImage looks up the image in the table of existing images and returns a token for a new instance of the image. If the image doesn't exist then Tk_GetImage returns NULL and leaves an error message in interp->result.
When a widget wishes to actually display an image it must call Tk_RedrawWidget, identifying the image (image), a region within the image to redisplay (imageX, imageY, width, and height), and a place to display the image (drawable, drawableX, and drawableY). Tk will then invoke the appropriate image manager, which will display the requested portion of the image before returning.
A widget can find out the dimensions of an image by calling Tk_SizeOfImage: the width and height will be stored in the locations given by widthPtr and heightPtr, respectively.
When a widget is finished with an image (e.g., the widget is being deleted or it is going to use a different image instead of the current one), it must call Tk_FreeImage to release the image instance. The widget should never again use the image token after passing it to Tk_FreeImage. There must be exactly one call to Tk_FreeImage for each call to Tk_GetImage.
If the contents or size of an image changes, then any widgets
using the image will need to find out about the changes so that
they can redisplay themselves.
The changeProc and clientData arguments to
Tk_GetImage are used for this purpose.
changeProc will be called by Tk whenever a change occurs
in the image; it must match the following prototype:
typedef void Tk_ImageChangedProc(
ClientData clientData,
int x,
int y,
int width,
int height,
int imageWidth,
int imageHeight);
The clientData argument to changeProc is the same as the
clientData argument to Tk_GetImage.
It is usually a pointer to the widget record for the widget or
some other data structure managed by the widget.
The arguments x, y, width, and height
identify a region within the image that must be redisplayed;
they are specified in pixels measured from the upper-left
corner of the image.
The arguments imageWidth and imageHeight give
the image's (new) size.
