Tk_GetPixels, Tk_GetScreenMM − translate between strings and screen units
#include <tk.h>
int 
Tk_GetPixels(interp, tkwin, string,
intPtr)
int 
Tk_GetScreenMM(interp, tkwin, string,
doublePtr)
| 
 Tcl_Interp *interp (in)  | 
 Interpreter to use for error reporting.  | ||
| 
 Tk_Window tkwin (in)  | 
 Window whose screen geometry determines the conversion between absolute units and pixels.  | ||
| 
 char *string (in)  | 
 String that specifies a distance on the screen.  | ||
| 
 int *intPtr (out)  | 
 Pointer to location in which to store converted distance in pixels.  | ||
| 
 double *doublePtr (out)  | 
 Pointer to location in which to store converted distance in millimeters.  | 
_________________________________________________________________
These two procedures take as argument a specification of distance on the screen (string) and compute the corresponding distance either in integer pixels or floating-point millimeters. In either case, string specifies a screen distance as a floating-point number followed by one of the following characters that indicates units:
| 
 <none>  | 
 The number specifies a distance in pixels.  | ||
| 
 c  | 
 The number specifies a distance in centimeters on the screen.  | ||
| 
 i  | 
 The number specifies a distance in inches on the screen.  | ||
| 
 m  | 
 The number specifies a distance in millimeters on the screen.  | ||
| 
 p  | 
 The number specifies a distance in printer’s points (1/72 inch) on the screen.  | 
Tk_GetPixels converts string to the nearest even number of pixels and stores that value at *intPtr. Tk_GetScreenMM converts string to millimeters and stores the double-precision floating-point result at *doublePtr.
Both procedures return TCL_OK under normal circumstances. If an error occurs (e.g. string contains a number followed by a character that isn’t one of the ones above) then TCL_ERROR is returned and an error message is left in interp->result.
