DESCRIPTION

       Tk_FindPhoto  returns  an  opaque  handle  that is used to
       identify a particular photo image to the other procedures.
       The  parameter is the name of the image, that is, the name
       specified to the image create photo command,  or  assigned
       by that command if no name was specified.

       Tk_PhotoPutBlock is used to supply blocks of image data to
       be displayed.  The call affects an area of  the  image  of

       coordinates (x,y).  All of width, height, x, and y must be
       non-negative.   If part of this area lies outside the cur­
       rent bounds of the image, the image will  be  expanded  to
       include  the  area,  unless  the  user  has  specified  an
       explicit image size with the -width and/or -height  widget
       configuration  options  (see  photo(n));  in that case the
       area is silently clipped to the image boundaries.

       The block parameter is a pointer to  a  Tk_PhotoImageBlock
       structure, defined as follows:
              typedef struct {
                unsigned char *pixelPtr;
                int width;
                int height;
                int pitch;
                int pixelSize;
                int offset[4];
              } Tk_PhotoImageBlock;
       The pixelPtr field points to the first pixel, that is, the
       top-left pixel in the block.  The width and height  fields
       specify the dimensions of the block of pixels.  The pixel­
       Size field specifies the address  difference  between  two
       horizontally  adjacent pixels.  Often it is 3 or 4, but it
       can have any value.  The pitch field specifies the address
       difference  between  two  vertically adjacent pixels.  The
       offset array contains the offsets from the  address  of  a
       pixel  to  the  addresses of the bytes containing the red,
       green, blue and alpha  (transparency)  components.   These
       are  normally  0,  1,  2 and 3, but can have other values,
       e.g., for images that are stored as  separate  red,  green
       and blue planes.

       The  value  given  for  the width and height parameters to
       Tk_PhotoPutBlock do not have to correspond to  the  values
       specified in block.  If they are smaller, Tk_PhotoPutBlock
       extracts a sub-block from the  image  data  supplied.   If
       they are larger, the data given are replicated (in a tiled
       fashion) to fill the specified area.  These rules  operate
       independently in the horizontal and vertical directions.

       Tk_PhotoPutZoomedBlock  works like Tk_PhotoPutBlock except
       that the image can be reduced  or  enlarged  for  display.
       The subsampleX and subsampleY parameters allow the size of
       the image to  be  reduced  by  subsampling.   Tk_PhotoPut­
       ZoomedBlock  will  use  only  pixels  from the input image
       whose X coordinates are multiples of subsampleX, and whose
       Y  coordinates  are multiples of subsampleY.  For example,
       an image of 512x512 pixels can be reduced  to  256x256  by
       setting subsampleX and subsampleY to 2.

       The  zoomX  and  zoomY  parameters  allow  the image to be
       enlarged by pixel replication.  Each pixel of the  (possi­
       bly  subsampled)  input  image  will be written to a block

       image.   Subsampling  and zooming can be used together for
       special effects.

       Tk_PhotoGetImage can be used to retrieve image data from a
       photo  image.   Tk_PhotoGetImage  fills  in  the structure
       pointed to by the  blockPtr  parameter  with  values  that
       describe the address and layout of the image data that the
       photo image has stored internally.  The values  are  valid
       until  the  image  is  destroyed  or  its size is changed.
       Tk_PhotoGetImage returns 1 for compatibility with the cor­
       responding procedure in the old photo widget.

       Tk_PhotoBlank  blanks  the entire area of the photo image.
       Blank areas of a photo image are transparent.

       Tk_PhotoExpand  requests  that  the  widget's   image   be
       expanded  to  be  at  least width x height pixels in size.
       The width and/or height are  unchanged  if  the  user  has
       specified  an  explicit  image  width  or  height with the
       -width and/or -height configuration options, respectively.
       If the image data are being supplied in many small blocks,
       it is more efficient to use Tk_PhotoExpand or Tk_PhotoSet­
       Size  at  the  beginning rather than allowing the image to
       expand in many small increments as image blocks  are  sup­
       plied.

       Tk_PhotoSetSize specifies the size of the image, as if the
       user had specified the given width and  height  values  to
       the  -width and -height configuration options.  A value of
       zero for width or height does not change the image's width
       or height, but allows the width or height to be changed by
       subsequent calls to  Tk_PhotoPutBlock,  Tk_PhotoPutZoomed­
       Block or Tk_PhotoExpand.

       Tk_PhotoGetSize  returns  the  dimensions  of the image in
       *widthPtr and *heightPtr.
