.SH ARGUMENTS

.AS "Tk_Anchor" *anchorPtr
|

.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
|
|
Interpreter to use for error reporting.
|
|
.AP char *string in
|
|
String containing name of anchor point: one of ``n'', ``ne'', ``e'', ``se'',
|
|
``s'', ``sw'', ``w'', ``nw'', or ``center''.
|
|
.AP int *anchorPtr out
|
|
Pointer to location in which to store anchor position corresponding to

\fIstring\fR.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTk_GetAnchor\fR places in \fI*anchorPtr\fR an anchor position
|
|
(enumerated type \fBTk_Anchor\fR)
|
|
corresponding to \fIstring\fR, which will be one of
|
|
\fBTK_ANCHOR_N\fR, \fBTK_ANCHOR_NE\fR, \fBTK_ANCHOR_E\fR, \fBTK_ANCHOR_SE\fR,
|
|
\fBTK_ANCHOR_S\fR, \fBTK_ANCHOR_SW\fR, \fBTK_ANCHOR_W\fR, \fBTK_ANCHOR_NW\fR,
|
|
or \fBTK_ANCHOR_CENTER\fR.
|
|
Anchor positions are typically used for indicating a point on an object
|
|
that will be used to position that object, e.g. \fBTK_ANCHOR_N\fR means
|
|
position the top center point of the object at a particular place.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Under normal circumstances the return value is \fBTCL_OK\fR and
|
|
\fIinterp\fR is unused.
|
|
If \fIstring\fR doesn't contain a valid anchor position
|
|
or an abbreviation of one of these names, then an error message is
|
|
stored in \fIinterp->result\fR, \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned, and
|
|
\fI*anchorPtr\fR is unmodified.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTk_NameOfAnchor\fR is the logical inverse of \fBTk_GetAnchor\fR.
|
|
Given an anchor position such as \fBTK_ANCHOR_N\fR it returns a
|
|
statically-allocated string corresponding to \fIanchor\fR.
|
|
If \fIanchor\fR isn't a legal anchor value, then
|
|
``unknown anchor position'' is returned.
