The texture is +a Tk image which is tiled over the entire background of the widget. +.SH INTRODUCTION +With the advent of Tk 4.0, images are now easy to create and use in +applications. Images add interest to applications and they convey +more information. But one area where Tk hasn't taken advantage of +images is using images as textures for widgets. Since tiling is a +standard feature of windowing systems, it's very easy to use images +as textures. +.PP +The tile widgets take the standard Tk 4.0 widgets and add tiling +configuration options to them. Textures are specified by the name +of the image you wish to be tiled across the background of the widget. +.SH EXAMPLE +To add tiling to a widget, you simply create an image using +Tk's \fBimage\fR command and use the image name as the value for +the \fB\-tile\fR configuration option of the widget. +.CS +image create photo my_texture -file tan_paper.gif +blt::tile::frame .f -tile my_texture +.CE +The image \f(CWmy_texture\fR is added to the frame. +If \f(CWmy_texture\fR is updated, so will the widget background. +.CS +image create photo my_texture -file rain.gif +.CE +The tile widget commands reside in the "blt::tile" namespace, so +as not to collide with the normal Tk widgets. +An easy way to add tiling to existing programs is to import +the tile widget commands into the global namespace. +.CS +image create photo my_texture -file tan_paper.gif +namespace import -force blt::tile::* +frame .f -tile my_texture +.CE +To use one image for all texturing, you can use the "Tile" option +class name to specify the same image for all tile widgets. +.CS +image create photo my_texture -file tan_paper.gif +option add *Tile my_texture +.CE +.SH OPTIONS +The following configurations options are added to the widgets. If +a \fB\-tile\fB or \fB\-activetile\fR option is specified, it overrides +the background color of the widget. +.TP +\fB\-activetile \fIimage\fR +Specifies a textured background to display when the widget is active. +This option is available for the \fBtilebutton\fR, +\fBtilecheckbutton\fR, \fBtileradiobutton\fR, and \fBtilescrollbar\fR +widgets. \fIImage\fR is the name an image created using Tk's +\fBimage\fR command. The background of the widget is tiled with +\fIimage\fR. If \fIimage\fR is \f(CW""\fR, then the active background +color is displayed. The default is \f(CW""\fR. +.TP +\fB\-tile \fIimage\fR +Specifies a textured background to display for the widget. +\fIImage\fR is the name an image created using Tk's \fBimage\fR +command. The background of the widget is tiled with \fIimage\fR. If +\fIimage\fR is \f(CW""\fR, then the normal background color is +displayed. The default is \f(CW""\fR. +.SH KEYWORDS +tile, texture, button, label, radiobutton, checkbutton, scrollbar, frame, toplevel |
