SYNOPSIS
#include <<tk.h>>
int
Tk_GetCapStyle(interp, string, capPtr)
char *
Tk_NameOfCapStyle(cap)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter to use for
error reporting.
char *string (in) String containing name of
cap style: one of
```butt'', ``project-

DESCRIPTION
Tk_GetCapStyle places in *capPtr the X cap style corre-
sponding to string. This will be one of the values Cap-
Butt, CapProjecting, or CapRound. Cap styles are typi-
cally 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_GetCap-
Style. 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.
