Creating Pixmaps
Like all images, pixmaps are created using the imagecreate command.
imagecreatepixmap ?name? ?options?
Pixmaps support the following options:
-datastring
Available since version 1.2.4.
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.
-filename
Available since version 1.2.4.
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).
Description
The package img::pixmap is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support,
via packagerequireImg, or on its own, via packagerequireimg::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.
Image Command
When a pixmap image is created, Tk also creates a new command 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:
imageNameoption ?argarg...?
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for
pixmap images:
imageNamecgetoption
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the
values accepted by the imagecreatepixmap command.
imageNameconfigure ?option? ?valueoptionvalue...?
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 information 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 identical to the corresponding sublist of the
value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-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 imagecreatepixmap
command.
