Tk_GetAnchor

int
Tk_GetAnchor(interp, string, anchorPtr)

char *
Tk_NameOfAnchor(anchor)

ARGUMENTS

Tcl_Interp *interp (in)

Interpreter to use for error reporting.

char *string (in)

String containing name of anchor point: one of ``n'', ``ne'', ``e'', ``se'',
``s'', ``sw'', ``w'', ``nw'', or ``center''.

int *anchorPtr (out)

Pointer to location in which to store anchor position corresponding to
string.

Tk_Anchor anchor (in)

Anchor position, e.g. TCL_ANCHOR_CENTER.

Tk_GetAnchor places in *anchorPtr an anchor position
(enumerated type Tk_Anchor)
corresponding to string, which will be one of
TK_ANCHOR_N, TK_ANCHOR_NE, TK_ANCHOR_E, TK_ANCHOR_SE,
TK_ANCHOR_S, TK_ANCHOR_SW, TK_ANCHOR_W, TK_ANCHOR_NW,
or TK_ANCHOR_CENTER.
Anchor positions are typically used for indicating a point on an object
that will be used to position that object, e.g. TK_ANCHOR_N means
position the top center point of the object at a particular place.

Under normal circumstances the return value is TCL_OK and
interp is unused.
If string doesn't contain a valid anchor position
or an abbreviation of one of these names, then an error message is
stored in interp->result, TCL_ERROR is returned, and
*anchorPtr is unmodified.

Tk_NameOfAnchor is the logical inverse of Tk_GetAnchor.
Given an anchor position such as TK_ANCHOR_N it returns a
statically-allocated string corresponding to anchor.
If anchor isn't a legal anchor value, then
``unknown anchor position'' is returned.
