NAME
Tk_GetCapStyle, Tk_NameOfCapStyle - translate between strings and cap styles
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
int
Tk_GetCapStyle(interp, string, capPtr)
const char *
Tk_NameOfCapStyle(cap)
ARGUMENTS
.AS "Tcl_Interp" *capPtr .AP Tcl_Interp *interp in Interpreter to use for error reporting. .AP "const char" *string in String containing name of cap style: one of .QW butt , .QW projecting , or .QW round . .AP int *capPtr out Pointer to location in which to store X cap style corresponding to string. .AP int cap in Cap style: one of CapButt, CapProjecting, or CapRound. E
DESCRIPTION

Tk_GetCapStyle places in *capPtr the X cap style corresponding to string. This will be one of the values CapButt, CapProjecting, or CapRound. Cap styles are typically used in X graphics contexts to indicate how the end-points of lines should be capped. See the X documentation for information on what each style implies.

Under normal circumstances the return value is TCL_OK and interp is unused. If string does not contain a valid cap style or an abbreviation of one of these names, then an error message is stored in interp->result, TCL_ERROR is returned, and *capPtr is unmodified.

Tk_NameOfCapStyle is the logical inverse of Tk_GetCapStyle. Given a cap style such as CapButt it returns a statically-allocated string corresponding to cap. If cap is not a legal cap style, then .QW "unknown cap style" is returned.
