Procedure for Tk to invoke whenever image content or size changes.

  
ClientData clientData (in)

  
One-word value for Tk to pass to changeProc.

  
Tk_Image image (in)

  
Token for image instance; must have been returned by a previous call to
      Tk_GetImage.

Store height of image (in pixels) here.
    
    

    

  










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 does not exist
    then Tk_GetImage returns NULL and leaves an error message in
    interpreter interp's result.


When a widget wishes to actually display an image it must call
    Tk_RedrawImage, 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.
