Tk_GetPixels(3)		     Tk Library Procedures	       Tk_GetPixels(3)

______________________________________________________________________________

NAME
       Tk_GetPixels,  Tk_GetScreenMM  -	 translate  between strings and screen
       units

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tk.h>

       int
       Tk_GetPixels(interp, tkwin, string, intPtr)

       int
       Tk_GetScreenMM(interp, tkwin, string, doublePtr)

ARGUMENTS
       Tcl_Interp   *interp    (in)	 Interpreter to use for error  report‐
					 ing.

       Tk_Window    tkwin      (in)	 Window	 whose	screen geometry deter‐
					 mines the conversion between absolute
					 units and pixels.

       char	    *string    (in)	 String	 that  specifies a distance on
					 the screen.

       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 two procedures take as argument a specification  of  distance  on
       the  screen  (string)  and compute the corresponding distance either in
       integer pixels or floating-point millimeters.  In either	 case,	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_GetPixels  converts  string to the nearest even number of pixels and
       stores that value at *intPtr.  Tk_GetScreenMM converts string  to  mil‐
       limeters and stores the double-precision floating-point result at *dou‐
       blePtr.

       Both procedures return TCL_OK under normal circumstances.  If an	 error
       occurs  (e.g.  string  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->result.
