_________________________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The  image  element  factory  creates  a  new  element  in  the current theme whose visual
       appearance is determined by Tk images.  imageSpec is a list of one or more elements.   The
       first  element is the default image name.  The rest of the list is a sequence of statespec
       / value pairs specifying other images to use when the element is in a particular state  or
       combination of states.

OPTIONS

       Valid options are:

       -border padding
              padding  is  a  list  of  up to four integers, specifying the left, top, right, and
              bottom borders, respectively.  See IMAGE STRETCHING, below.

       -height height
              Specifies a minimum height for the element.  If less than zero,  the  base  image's
              height is used as a default.

       -padding padding
              Specifies the element's interior padding.  Defaults to -border if not specified.

       -sticky spec
              Specifies  how  the image is placed within the final parcel.  spec contains zero or
              more characters “n”, “s”, “w”, or “e”.

       -width width
              Specifies a minimum width for the element.  If less than  zero,  the  base  image's
              width is used as a default.

IMAGE STRETCHING

       If  the  element's  allocated parcel is larger than the image, the image will be placed in
       the parcel based on the -sticky option.  If the image needs to stretch horizontally (i.e.,
       -sticky ew) or vertically (-sticky ns), subregions of the image are replicated to fill the
       parcel based on the -border option.  The -border divides the image into  9  regions:  four
       fixed  corners, top and left edges (which may be tiled horizontally), left and right edges
       (which may be tiled vertically), and  the  central  area  (which  may  be  tiled  in  both
       directions).

EXAMPLE

              set img1 [image create photo -file button.png]
              set img2 [image create photo -file button-pressed.png]
              set img3 [image create photo -file button-active.png]
              style element create Button.button image \
                  [list $img1  pressed $img2  active $img3] \
                  -border {2 4} -sticky we
