This manual page descripts the \fBtix\fR command, which manipulates
|
||||
the internal states of the Tix library. If you're looking for a general

introduction to the Tix library, please refer to the \fBTixIntro\fR

manual page.

The Tix application context supports the following configuration
|
||||
options. Usually, these options are set using the X resource database,
|
||||
i.e., in the user's \fB\.Xdefault\fR file. For example, to choose a
|
||||
different color scheme for the Tix widgets, these two lines can be
|
||||
added to the user's \fB\.Xdefault\fR file:

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The \fBtix\fR command provides access to miscellaneous elements of
|
||||
Tix's internal state and the Tix \fBapplication context\fR. Most of
|
||||
the information manipulated by this command pertains to the
|
||||
application as a whole, or to a screen or display, rather than to a
|
||||
particular window. The command can take any of a number of different
|
||||
forms depending on the \fIoption\fR argument. The legal forms are:
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fBtix addbitmapdir\fR \fIdirectory\fR
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
Tix maintains a list of directory under which which the \fBtix
|
||||
getimage\fR and \fBtix getbitmap\fR commands will search for image
|
||||
files. The standard bitmap directory is
|
||||
\fB$TIX_LIBRARY/bitmaps\fR. The \fBaddbitmapdir\fR command adds
|
||||
\fIdirectory\fR into this list. By using this command, the image files
|
||||
of an applications can also be located using the \fBtix getimage\fR ot
|
||||
\fBtix getbitmap\fR command.
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fBtix cget\fR \fIoption\fR
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
|
||||
\fIoption\fR. \fIOption\fR may be any of the options described in the
|
||||
\fBCONFIGURATION OPTIONS\fR section.
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fBtix configure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? \fI?value option value ...\fR?
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
Query or modify the configuration options of the Tix application
|
||||
context. If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing
|
||||
all of the available options (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
|
||||
information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified
|
||||
with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the
|
||||
one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
|
||||
sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If
|
||||
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command
|
||||
modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case
|
||||
the command returns an empty string. \fIOption\fR may be any of the
|
||||
options described in the \fBCONFIGURATION OPTIONS\fR section.
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fBtix filedialog \fR?\fIclass\fR?
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
Returns the file selection dialog that may be shared among different
|
||||
modules of this application. This command will create a file selection
|
||||
dialog widget when it is called the first time. This dialog will be
|
||||
returned by all subsequent calls to \fBtix filedialog\fR. An optional
|
||||
\fIclass\fR parameter can be passed to specified what type of file
|
||||
selection dialog widget is desired. Possible options are
|
||||
\fBtixFileSelectDialog\fR or \fBtixExFileSelectDialog.\fR
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fBtix getbitmap \fIname\fR
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
Locates a bitmap file of the name \fIname\fR.xpm or \fIname\fR in one
|
||||
of the bitmap directories (see the \fBaddbitmapdir\fR command
|
||||
above). By using \fBtix getbitmap\fR, you can advoid hard coding the
|
||||
pathnames of the bitmap files in your application. When successful, it
|
||||
returns the complete pathname of the bitmap file, prefixed with the
|
||||
character \fB@\fR. The returned value can be used to configure the
|
||||
\fB\-bitmap\fR option of the TK and Tix widgets.
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fBtix getimage \fIname\fR
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
Locates an image file of the name \fIname\fR.xpm, \fIname\fR.xbm or
|
||||
\fIname\fR.ppm in one of the bitmap directories (see the
|
||||
\fBaddbitmapdir\fR command above). If more than one file with the same
|
||||
name (but different extensions) exist, then the image type is chosen
|
||||
according to the depth of the X display: xbm images are chosen on
|
||||
monochrome displays and color images are chosen on color displays. By
|
||||
using \fBtix getimage\fR, you can advoid hard coding the pathnames of
|
||||
the image files in your application. When successful, this command
|
||||
returns the name of the newly created image, which can be used to
|
||||
configure the \fB\-image\fR option of the TK and Tix widgets.
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fBtix initstyle\fR
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
Init the style defaults for Tix. Prior to Tix 8.4 this was done by
|
||||
simply package requiring Tix, but this call is now required to
|
||||
explicitly use Tix style.
|
||||
'\"

.TP
|

\fBtix option\fR ?\fIargs ...\fR?
|

'\"
|

Manipulates the options manitained by the Tix scheme
|
||||
mechanism. Available options are:
|
||||
.CS
|
||||
active_bg active_fg bg
|
||||
bold_font dark1_bg dark1_fg

.RS

\fBtix option get\fR \fIoption\fR

\fBtix resetoptions\fR \fInewScheme newFontSet\fR ?\fInewScmPrio\fR?
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
'\"
|
||||
Resets the scheme and fontset of the Tix application to
|
||||
\fInewScheme\fR and \fInewFontSet\fR, respectively. This affects only
|
||||
those widgets created \fBafter\fR this call. Therefore, it is best to
|
||||
call the \fBresetoptions\fR command \fBbefore\fR the creation of any
|
||||
widgets in a Tix application.
|
||||
|
||||
The optional parameter \fInewScmPrio\fR can be given to reset the
|
||||
priority level of the TK options set by the Tix schemes.

.SH BUGS
|

'\"
|
||||
.IP [1]
|
||||
In this release of Tix, the following configuration options have been
|
||||
disabled. Assigning values to them will cause no effect:
|
||||
.CS
|
||||
-binding
|
||||
-debug
|
||||
-fontset
|
||||
-scheme
|
||||
-schemepriority
|
||||
.CE
|
||||
In addition, the following options to the \fBtix\fR command have been
|
||||
disabled. Invoking the \fBtix\fR command with these options will cause
|
||||
no effect:
|
||||
.CS
|
||||
resetoptions
|
||||
.CE
|
||||
.IP [2]
|
||||
Because of the way TK handles the X option database, after tixwish has
|
||||
started up, it is not possible to reset the color schemes and font
|
||||
sets using the \fBtix config\fR command. Instead, the \fBtix
|
||||
resetoptions\fR command must be used.

The tk_setPalette command does not work very well under Tix. To use
|
||||
it, one must follow these steps:
