The texture is a Tk image which is tiled over the entire background of the widget. The offset of the tile usually aligns with the toplevel window so that all sub-tiles line up. However, image names containing an exlamation "!" (ususally as the last char) are tiled absolutely. .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 Note: Wize now adds a -tile option to Tk widgets natively. However, these are retained to provide the -shadow option. .PP Tiled 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 \fBmy_texture\fR is added to the frame. If \fBmy_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 \fB""\fR, then the active background color is displayed. The default is \fB""\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 \fB""\fR, then the normal background color is displayed. The default is \fB""\fR. .TP \fB\-shadow \fIshadow\fR Set shadow for text. .TP \fB\-rotate \fIdegrees\fR Support for rotating text in degrees, eg. 90, 180. .TP \fB\-checksize \fInum\fR Specify the size of check/radio button indicator. .TP \fB\-icons \fIimages\fR Give a list of 0, or 2-9 images to use for the indicators. The first three are for normal,selected,tristate. The next three repeat but for the active state. The next three repeat but for the disabled state. .TP \fB\-bdimage \fIimage\fR .TP \fB\-activebdimage \fIimage\fR .TP \fB\-disabledbdimage \fIimage\fR A border image that resizes to fit the widget. .TP \fB\-bdflags \fIint\fR Set to -1 to perform inner rather than outer mirror. .SH KEYWORDS tile, texture, button, label, radiobutton, checkbutton, scrollbar, frame, toplevel
