Tk_GetJustify (3)

translate between strings and justification styles

SYNOPSIS

    #include <tk.h>
    Tk_Justify
    Tk_GetJustify(interp, string, justifyPtr)
    char *
    Tk_NameOfJustify(justify)
    

ARGUMENTS

    "Tk_Justify" *justifyPtr Tcl_Interp *interp in Interpreter to use for error reporting. char *string in String containing name of justification style (``left'', ``right'', or ``center''). int *justifyPtr out Pointer to location in which to store justify value corresponding to string. Tk_Justify justify in Justification style (one of the values listed below).

DESCRIPTION

    Tk_GetJustify places in *justifyPtr the justify value corresponding to string. This value will be one of the following:

    TK_JUSTIFY_LEFT

      Means that the text on each line should start at the left edge of the line; as a result, the right edges of lines may be ragged.

    TK_JUSTIFY_RIGHT

      Means that the text on each line should end at the right edge of the line; as a result, the left edges of lines may be ragged.

    TK_JUSTIFY_CENTER

      Means that the text on each line should be centered; as a result, both the left and right edges of lines may be ragged.

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

    Tk_NameOfJustify is the logical inverse of Tk_GetJustify. Given a justify value it returns a statically-allocated string corresponding to justify. If justify isn't a legal justify value, then ``unknown justification style'' is returned.
