image - Create and manipulate images

       The following image types are defined by Tk so they will be available in any Tk application.   Individual
       applications or extensions may define additional types.

       bitmap Each  pixel  in  the  image  displays a foreground color, a background color, or nothing.  See the
              bitmap manual entry for more information.

       photo  Displays a variety of full-color images, using dithering to approximate colors  on  displays  with
              limited color capabilities.  See the photo manual entry for more information.

       nsimage
              This  type  is only available in the Aqua platform.  It is a full-color image which may be created
              from a named system image.  It has options designed to facilitate  the  use  of  these  images  in
              buttons.   An  nsimage can be based on an a templateimage, which is an anti-aliased 2-color image
              format that automatically interchanges black and white in response to changes  between  the  light
              and  dark  modes  on  macOS.   An  nsimage can also generate an alternate pressed variant which is
              lighter in dark mode and darker in light mode.  These are  for  use  in  image  buttons.  See  the
              nsimage manual entry for more information.

       The  image  command  is  used  to create, delete, and query images.  It can take several different forms,
       depending on the option argument.  The legal forms are:

       imagecreatetype ?name? ?optionvalue...?
              Creates a new image and a command with the same name and returns its  name.   type  specifies  the
              type  of  the  image,  which  must  be  one  of  the types currently defined (e.g., bitmap).  name
              specifies the name for the image;  if it is omitted then Tk picks a name of the form imagex, where
              x is an integer.  There may be any number  of  option-value  pairs,  which  provide  configuration
              options  for  the  new image.  The legal set of options is defined separately for each image type;
              see below for details on the options for built-in image types.  If an image already exists by  the
              given  name  then it is replaced with the new image and any instances of that image will redisplay
              with the new contents.  It is important to note that the image command will silently overwrite any
              procedure that may currently be defined by the given name, so  choose  the  name  wisely.   It  is
              recommended to use a separate namespace for image names (e.g., ::img::logo, ::img::large).

       imagedelete ?namename ...?
              Deletes  each  of  the  named  images  and returns an empty string.  If there are instances of the
              images displayed in widgets, the images will not actually be deleted until all  of  the  instances
              are  released.   However,  the  association  between  the  instances and the image manager will be
              dropped.  Existing instances will retain their sizes but redisplay as empty areas.  If  a  deleted
              image  is  recreated  with  another  call to imagecreate, the existing instances will use the new
              image.

       imageheightname
              Returns a decimal string giving the height of image name in pixels.

       imageinusename
              Returns a boolean value indicating whether or not the image  given  by  name  is  in  use  by  any
              widgets.

       imagenames
              Returns a list containing the names of all existing images.

       imagetypename
              Returns  the type of image name (the value of the type argument to imagecreate when the image was
              created).

       imagetypes
              Returns a list whose elements are all of the valid image types (i.e., all of the values  that  may
              be supplied for the type argument to imagecreate).

       imagewidthname
              Returns a decimal string giving the width of image name in pixels.

       Additional  operations  (e.g.  writing  the image to a file) may be available as subcommands of the image
       instance command. See the manual page for the particular image type for details.
