.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBwinfo\fR \fIoption \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
|
|
.BE
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBwinfo\fR command is used to retrieve information about windows
|
|
managed by Tk. It can take any of a number of different forms,
|
|
depending on the \fIoption\fR argument. The legal forms are:
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo atom \fR?\fB\-displayof \fIwindow\fR? \fIname\fR
|
|
Returns a decimal string giving the integer identifier for the
|
|
atom whose name is \fIname\fR. If no atom exists with the name
|
|
\fIname\fR then a new one is created.
|
|
If the \fB\-displayof\fR option is given then the atom is looked
|
|
up on the display of \fIwindow\fR; otherwise it is looked up on
|
|
the display of the application's main window.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo atomname \fR?\fB\-displayof \fIwindow\fR? \fIid\fR
|
|
Returns the textual name for the atom whose integer identifier is
|
|
\fIid\fR.
|
|
If the \fB\-displayof\fR option is given then the identifier is looked
|
|
up on the display of \fIwindow\fR; otherwise it is looked up on
|
|
the display of the application's main window.
|
|
This command is the inverse of the \fBwinfo atom\fR command.
|
|
It generates an error if no such atom exists.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo cells \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns a decimal string giving the number of cells in the
|
|
color map for \fIwindow\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo children \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns a list containing the path names of all the children
|
|
of \fIwindow\fR. Top-level windows are returned as children
|
|
of their logical parents.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo class \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns the class name for \fIwindow\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo colormapfull \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns 1 if the colormap for \fIwindow\fR is known to be full, 0
|
|
otherwise. The colormap for a window is ``known'' to be full if the last
|
|
attempt to allocate a new color on that window failed and this
|
|
application hasn't freed any colors in the colormap since the
|
|
failed allocation.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo containing \fR?\fB\-displayof \fIwindow\fR? \fIrootX rootY\fR
|
|
Returns the path name for the window containing the point given
|
|
by \fIrootX\fR and \fIrootY\fR.
|
|
\fIRootX\fR and \fIrootY\fR are specified in screen units (i.e.
|
|
any form acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR) in the coordinate
|
|
system of the root window (if a virtual-root window manager is in
|
|
use then the coordinate system of the virtual root window is used).
|
|
If the \fB\-displayof\fR option is given then the coordinates refer
|
|
to the screen containing \fIwindow\fR; otherwise they refer to the
|
|
screen of the application's main window.
|
|
If no window in this application contains the point then an empty
|
|
string is returned.
|
|
In selecting the containing window, children are given higher priority
|
|
than parents and among siblings the highest one in the stacking order is
|
|
chosen.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo depth \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns a decimal string giving the depth of \fIwindow\fR (number
|
|
of bits per pixel).
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo exists \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns 1 if there exists a window named \fIwindow\fR, 0 if no such
|
|
window exists.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo fpixels \fIwindow\fR \fInumber\fR
|
|
Returns a floating-point value giving the number of pixels
|
|
in \fIwindow\fR corresponding to the distance given by \fInumber\fR.
|
|
\fINumber\fR may be specified in any of the forms acceptable
|
|
to \fBTk_GetScreenMM\fR, such as ``2.0c'' or ``1i''.
|
|
The return value may be fractional; for an integer value, use
|
|
\fBwinfo pixels\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo geometry \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns the geometry for \fIwindow\fR, in the form
|
|
\fIwidth\fBx\fIheight\fB+\fIx\fB+\fIy\fR. All dimensions are
|
|
in pixels.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo height \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns a decimal string giving \fIwindow\fR's height in pixels.
|
|
When a window is first created its height will be 1 pixel; the
|
|
height will eventually be changed by a geometry manager to fulfill
|
|
the window's needs.
|
|
If you need the true height immediately after creating a widget,
|
|
invoke \fBupdate\fR to force the geometry manager to arrange it,
|
|
or use \fBwinfo reqheight\fR to get the window's requested height
|
|
instead of its actual height.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo id \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns a hexadecimal string indicating the X identifier for \fIwindow\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo interps \fR?\fB\-displayof \fIwindow\fR?
|
|
Returns a list whose members are the names of all Tcl interpreters
|
|
(e.g. all Tk-based applications) currently registered for a particular display.
|
|
If the \fB\-displayof\fR option is given then the return value refers
|
|
to the display of \fIwindow\fR; otherwise it refers to
|
|
the display of the application's main window.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo ismapped \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns \fB1\fR if \fIwindow\fR is currently mapped, \fB0\fR otherwise.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo manager \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns the name of the geometry manager currently
|
|
responsible for \fIwindow\fR, or an empty string if \fIwindow\fR
|
|
isn't managed by any geometry manager.
|
|
The name is usually the name of the Tcl command for the geometry
|
|
manager, such as \fBpack\fR or \fBplace\fR.
|
|
If the geometry manager is a widget, such as canvases or text, the
|
|
name is the widget's class command, such as \fBcanvas\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo name \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns \fIwindow\fR's name (i.e. its name within its parent, as opposed
|
|
to its full path name).
|
|
The command \fBwinfo name .\fR will return the name of the application.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo parent \fIwindow\fR
|
|
Returns the path name of \fIwindow\fR's parent, or an empty string
|
|
if \fIwindow\fR is the main window of the application.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo pathname \fR?\fB\-displayof \fIwindow\fR? \fIid\fR
|
|
Returns the path name of the window whose X identifier is \fIid\fR.
|
|
\fIId\fR must be a decimal, hexadecimal, or octal integer and must
|
|
correspond to a window in the invoking application.
|
|
If the \fB\-displayof\fR option is given then the identifier is looked
|
|
up on the display of \fIwindow\fR; otherwise it is looked up on
|
|
the display of the application's main window.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo pixels \fIwindow\fR \fInumber\fR
|
|
Returns the number of pixels in \fIwindow\fR corresponding
|
|
to the distance given by \fInumber\fR.
|
|
\fINumber\fR may be specified in any of the forms acceptable
|
|
to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR, such as ``2.0c'' or ``1i''.
|
|
The result is rounded to the nearest integer value; for a
|
|
fractional result, use \fBwinfo fpixels\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo pointerx \fIwindow\fR
|
|
If the mouse pointer is on the same screen as \fIwindow\fR, returns the
|
|
pointer's x coordinate, measured in pixels in the screen's root window.
|
|
If a virtual root window is in use on the screen, the position is
|
|
measured in the virtual root.
|
|
If the mouse pointer isn't on the same screen as \fIwindow\fR then
|
|
-1 is returned.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo pointerxy \fIwindow\fR
|
|
If the mouse pointer is on the same screen as \fIwindow\fR, returns a list
|
|
with two elements, which are the pointer's x and y coordinates measured
|
|
in pixels in the screen's root window.
|
|
If a virtual root window is in use on the screen, the position
|
|
is computed in the virtual root.
|
|
If the mouse pointer isn't on the same screen as \fIwindow\fR then
|
|
both of the returned coordinates are -1.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBwinfo pointery \fIwindow\fR
|
|
If the mouse pointer is on the same screen as \fIwindow\fR, returns the
|
|
pointer's y coordinate, measured in pixels in the screen's root window.
|
|
If a virtual root window is in use on the screen, the position
|
|
is computed in the virtual root.
|
|
If the mouse pointer isn't on the same screen as \fIwindow\fR then
|
|
-1 is returned.
