NAME

       Tk_GetScrollInfoObj, Tk_GetScrollInfo - parse arguments for scrolling commands

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tk.h>

       int
       Tk_GetScrollInfoObj(interp, objc, objv, fractionPtr, stepsPtr)

       int
       Tk_GetScrollInfo(interp, argc, argv, fractionPtr, stepsPtr)

ARGUMENTS

       Tcl_Interp *interp (in)               Interpreter to use for error reporting.

       Tcl_Size objc (in)                    Number of Tcl_Obj's in objv array.

       Tcl_Obj *const * objv (in)            Argument  objects.   These  represent the entire widget command, of
                                             which the first word is typically the widget name  and  the  second
                                             word is typically xview or yview.

       int argc (in)                         Number of strings in argv array.

       const char ** argv (in)               Argument  strings.   These  represent the entire widget command, of
                                             which the first word is typically the widget name  and  the  second
                                             word is typically xview or yview.

       double *fractionPtr (out)             Filled in with fraction from moveto option, if any.

       int *stepsPtr (out)                   Filled  in with line or page count from scroll option, if any.  The
                                             value may be negative.

DESCRIPTION

       Tk_GetScrollInfoObj parses the arguments expected by widget scrolling commands such as xview  and  yview.
       It  receives  the  entire  list of words that make up a widget command and parses the words starting with
       objv[2].  The words starting with objv[2] must have one of the following forms:
              moveto fraction
              scroll number pages
              scroll number units

       Any of the moveto, scroll, pages, and units keywords may be abbreviated.  If objv has  the  moveto  form,
       TK_SCROLL_MOVETO  is  returned  as result and *fractionPtr is filled in with the fraction argument to the
       command, which must  be  a  proper  real  value.   If  objv  has  the  scroll  form,  TK_SCROLL_PAGES  or
       TK_SCROLL_UNITS is returned and *stepsPtr is filled in with the number value, which must be a  integer or
       a  float,  but  if  it  is  a float then it is converted to an integer, rounded away from 0.  If an error
       occurs in parsing the arguments, TK_SCROLL_ERROR is returned and an error message is left in  interpreter
       interp's result.

       Tk_GetScrollInfo  is  identical  in  function  to Tk_GetScrollInfoObj.  However, Tk_GetScrollInfo accepts
       string arguments, making it more appropriate for use with legacy widgets.
