#include <tk.h> int Tk_GetCapStyle(interp, string, capPtr) char * Tk_NameOfCapStyle(cap)ARGUMENTS.AS "Tcl_Interp" *capPtr .AP Tcl_Interp *interp in Interpreter to use for error reporting. .AP char *string in String containing name of cap style: one of ```butt'', ``projecting'', or ``round''. .AP int *capPtr out Pointer to location in which to store X cap style corresponding to string. .AP int cap in Cap style: one of CapButt, CapProjecting, or CapRound. EDESCRIPTIONTk_GetCapStyle places in *capPtr the X cap style corresponding to string. This will be one of the values CapButt, CapProjecting, or CapRound. Cap styles are typically used in X graphics contexts to indicate how the end-points of lines should be capped. See the X documentation for information on what each style implies.
Under normal circumstances the return value is TCL_OK and interp is unused. If string doesn't contain a valid cap style or an abbreviation of one of these names, then an error message is stored in interp->result, TCL_ERROR is returned, and *capPtr is unmodified.
Tk_NameOfCapStyle is the logical inverse of Tk_GetCapStyle. Given a cap style such as CapButt it returns a statically-allocated string corresponding to cap. If cap isn't a legal cap style, then ``unknown cap style'' is returned.
