NAME
       img-window - Img, Tk Windows (window)

SYNOPSIS
       package require Tk

       package require img::window  ?1.3?

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       The  package img::window is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img sup-port, support,
       port, via package require Img, or on its own, via package require img::window.

       Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command image.
       More specifically img::window extends Tk's photo image type.

       The name of the new format handler is window.

       This  handler does not provide additional configuration options.  This handler is special. Instead of
       reading or writing image data from a file or string it allows the embedding of a Tk widget  into  the
       photo image. In other words, it takes a snapshot of the contents of a Tk window.

       All of the above means that in a call like

       image create photo ?name? ?options?


       [1]    Image data in window format (option -data) is detected automatically. Image data is considered
              to be in the window format if the value given to option -data is the name of  an  existing  Tk
              window.

              Note that the standard option -file is not supported by this handler.

       [2]    The format name window is recognized by the option -format.
