NAME
Tk_GetCapStyle, Tk_NameOfCapStyle - translate between
strings and cap styles
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
int
Tk_GetCapStyle(interp, string, capPtr)
char *
Tk_NameOfCapStyle(cap)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter to use for
error reporting.
char *string (in) String containing name of
cap style: one of
```butt'', ``projecting'',
or ``round''.
int *capPtr (out) Pointer to location in
which to store X cap style
corresponding to string.
int cap (in) Cap style: one of CapButt,
CapProjecting, or CapRound.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tk_GetCapStyle places in *capPtr the X cap style
corresponding to string. This will be one of the values
CapButt, CapProjecting, or CapRound. Cap styles are
typically used in X graphics contexts to indicate how the
end-points of lines should be capped. See the X
documentation for information on what each style implies.
Under normal circumstances the return value is TCL_OK and
interp is unused. If string doesn't contain a valid cap
style or an abbreviation of one of these names, then an
error message is stored in interp->result, TCL_ERROR is
returned, and *capPtr is unmodified.
Tk_NameOfCapStyle is the logical inverse of Tk_GetCapStyle.
Given a cap style such as CapButt it returns a statically-
allocated string corresponding to cap. If cap isn't a legal
cap style, then ``unknown cap style'' is returned.
