NAME
bitmap - Images that display two colors
SYNOPSIS
image create bitmap ?name? ?options?
DESCRIPTION
A bitmap is an image whose pixels can display either of two colors or be transparent. A bitmap image is defined by four things: a background color, a foreground color, and two bitmaps, called the source and the mask. Each of the bitmaps specifies 0/1 values for a rectangular array of pixels, and the two bitmaps must have the same dimensions. For pixels where the mask is zero, the image displays nothing, producing a transparent effect. For other pixels, the image displays the foreground color if the source data is one and the background color if the source data is zero.
CREATING BITMAPS
Like all images, bitmaps are created using the image create command. Bitmaps support the following options:
imageName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the image create bitmap command.
imageName configure ?option? ?value option value ...? Query or modify the configuration options for the image. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for imageName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted by the image create bitmap command.
