NAME

     Tk_GetScrollInfo, Tk_GetScrollInfoObj - parse arguments  for
     scrolling commands

SYNOPSIS

     #include <tk.h>

     int
     Tk_GetScrollInfo(interp, argc, argv, dblPtr, intPtr)

     int
     Tk_GetScrollInfoObj(interp, objc, objv, dblPtr, intPtr)

ARGUMENTS

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

     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.

     int 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.

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

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

Tk_GetScrollInfo(3)   Tk Library Procedures   Tk_GetScrollInfo(3)

DESCRIPTION

     Tk_GetScrollInfo 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 argv[2].  The words starting
     with argv[2] must have one of the following forms:
          moveto fraction
          scroll number units
          scroll number pages

     Any of the moveto, scroll, units, and pages keywords may  be
     abbreviated.   If argv has the moveto form, TK_SCROLL_MOVETO
     is returned as result and *dblPtr  is  filled  in  with  the
     fraction  argument  to  the  command, which must be a proper
     real value.  If argv has the scroll form, TK_SCROLL_UNITS or
     TK_SCROLL_PAGES  is  returned  and *intPtr is filled in with
     the number value, which must be a  proper  integer.   If  an
     error  occurs  in  parsing the arguments, TK_SCROLL_ERROR is
     returned and an error message is left in interp->result.

     Tk_GetScrollInfoObj   is   identical    in    function    to
     Tk_GetScrollInfo.    However,   Tk_GetScrollInfoObj  accepts
     Tcl_Obj style arguments, making it more appropriate for  use
     with new development.
