DESCRIPTION

       These procedures are called by canvas type managers to perform  various
       utility functions.

       Tk_CanvasTkwin  returns the Tk_Window associated with a particular can-
       vas.

       Tk_CanvasGetCoord translates a string  specification  of  a  coordinate
       (such  as  2p  or  1.6c) into a double-precision canvas coordinate.  If
       string is a valid coordinate description then Tk_CanvasGetCoord  stores
       the  corresponding  canvas coordinate at *doublePtr and returns TCL_OK.
       Otherwise it stores an error message  in  the  interpreter  result  and
       returns TCL_ERROR.

       Tk_CanvasDrawableCoords  is called by type managers during redisplay to
       compute where to draw things.  Given x and y coordinates in  the  space
       of the canvas, Tk_CanvasDrawableCoords computes the corresponding pixel
       in the drawable that is currently being used for redisplay; it  returns
       those  coordinates  in *drawableXPtr and *drawableYPtr.  This procedure
       should not be invoked except during redisplay.

       Tk_CanvasSetStippleOrigin is also used during redisplay.  It  sets  the
       stipple origin in gc so that stipples drawn with gc in the current off-
       screen pixmap will line up with stipples drawn with origin (0,0) in the
       canvas's  actual  window.  Tk_CanvasSetStippleOrigin is needed in order
       to guarantee that stipple patterns line up properly when the canvas  is
       redisplayed  in  small  pieces.   Redisplays are carried out in double-
       buffered fashion where a piece of the canvas is redrawn in an offscreen
       pixmap  and  then  copied  back  onto the screen.  In this approach the
       stipple origins in graphics contexts need to be  adjusted  during  each
       redisplay to compensate for the position of the off-screen pixmap rela-
       tive to the window.  If an item is being drawn with stipples, its  type
       manager  typically calls Tk_CanvasSetStippleOrigin just before using gc
       to draw something;  after it is  finished  drawing,  the  type  manager
       calls  XSetTSOrigin  to  restore  the  origin  in gc back to (0,0) (the
       restore is needed because graphics contexts are shared, so they  cannot
       be modified permanently).

       Tk_CanvasWindowCoords is similar to Tk_CanvasDrawableCoords except that
       it returns coordinates in the canvas's window on the screen, instead of
       coordinates in an off-screen pixmap.

       Tk_CanvasEventuallyRedraw may be invoked by a type manager to inform Tk
       that a portion of a canvas needs to be redrawn.  The x1, y1, x2, and y2
       arguments  specify the region that needs to be redrawn, in canvas coor-
       dinates.  Type managers rarely need  to  invoke  Tk_CanvasEventuallyRe-
       draw,  since  Tk  can  normally figure out when an item has changed and
       make the redisplay request on its behalf  (this  happens,  for  example
       whenever  Tk calls a configureProc or scaleProc).  The only time that a
       type manager needs to call Tk_CanvasEventuallyRedraw is if an item  has
       changed  on its own without being invoked through one of the procedures
       in its Tk_ItemType; this could happen, for example, in an image item if
       the image is modified using image commands.

       Tk_CanvasTagsParseProc  and  Tk_CanvasTagsPrintProc are procedures that
       handle the -tags option for canvas items.  The code of  a  canvas  type
       manager  will  not  call  these procedures directly, but will use their
       addresses to create a Tk_CustomOption structure for the  -tags  option.
       The code typically looks like this:

              static const Tk_CustomOption tagsOption = {Tk_CanvasTagsParseProc,
                  Tk_CanvasTagsPrintProc, NULL
              };

              static const Tk_ConfigSpec configSpecs[] = {
                  ...
                  {TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM, "-tags", NULL, NULL,
                      NULL, 0, TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK, &tagsOption},
                  ...
              };
