$mainwindow->Zinc(?option=>value?, ..., ?option=>value?);

This is the color that will be used to fill the TkZinc window. It is also used as a default color for some item color attributes. See each color attribute for the actual source of the default color. Its default value is #c3c3c3, a light grey.

Specifies the width of the 3d border that should be displayed around the widget window. This border does overlap the active TkZinc display area. The area requested from the geometry manager (or the window manager if applicable) is the area defined by -width and -height , the border is not taken into account. This value can be given in any of the forms valid for coordinates (See TkGet_Pixels). The default value is 2.

Specifies a boolean value that indicates whether or not it should be allowable to set the TkZinc’s view outside the region defined by the -scrollregion . Defaults to true, which means that the view will be constrained within the scroll region.

Specifies the cursor to use when the pointer is in the TkZinc window. The default value is set to preserve the cursor inherited at widget creation.

Set this option to zero to disable emission of enter and leave events. Motion processing is still performed as usual. It is in some application state annoying to receive enter and leave events which may result in an endless loop. This is a mean to temporarily deactivate the cause. Use with care. The default value is one, enabled. The name is somewhat a misnommer for Tkzinc is still following the pointer.

The font specified by this option is used as a default font for item attributes of type font. Its default value is -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*.

The color specified by this option is used as a default color for many item color attributes. See each each color attribute for the actual source of the default color. Its default value is black.

If this option is True, the shape applied to the TkZinc window will propagate up the window hierarchy to the toplevel window. The result will be a shaped toplevel. See also the -reshape option, it controls whether a shape is applied to the TkZinc window or not. The default is true.

Specifies the height of the TkZinc window. This value can be given in any of the forms valid for coordinates (See Tk_GetPixels). The default is 100 pixels.

Specifies the color to display in the traversal highlight region when the widget does not have the input focus. The default value is #c3c3c3.

Specifies the color to use for the traversal highlight rectangle that is drawn around the widget when it has the input focus. The default value is black.

Specifies a non-negative value indicating the width of the highlight rectangle drawn around the outside of the widget when it has the input focus. The value may have any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If the value is zero, no focus highlight is drawn around the widget. The default value is 2.

Specifies the color to use as background in the area covered by the insertion cursor. This color will normally override either the normal background for the widget (or the selection background if the insertion cursor happens to fall in the selection). The default value is black.

Specifies a non-negative integer value indicating the number of milliseconds the insertion cursor should remain off in each blink cycle. If this option is zero then the cursor is on all the time. The default value is 300.

Specifies a non-negative integer value indicating the number of milliseconds the insertion cursor should remain on in each blink cycle. The default value is 600.

Specifies a value indicating the width of the insertion cursor. The value may have any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. The default value is 2.

Specifies the lighting angle in degre used when displaying relief. The default value is 120.

This option specifies the symbol to be used as a milestone along map lines. This option can be given any Tk bitmap which can be obtained by Tk_GetBitmap. The spacing between markers is 10 nautic miles. The default value is AtcSymbol19 (see Other resources provided by the widget ).

Specifies the font used to draw the texts contained in maps. The default is -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*.

This option accepts an item id. It specifies if the label overlapping avoidance algorithm should be allowed to do its work on the track labels and which group should be considered to look for tracks. The default is to enable the avoidance algorithm in the root group (id 1). To disable the algorithm this option should be set to 0.

Specifies the size of an area around the pointer that is used to tell if the pointer is inside an item. This is useful to lessen the precision required when picking graphical elements. This value must be a positive integer. It defaults to 1.

Specifies the border relief. This option can be given any legal value for a relief (See relief for a description of possible values). The default value is flat.

Specifies whether to use or not the openGL rendering. The value is a positive integer that can have the values 0, 1 and 2. The value 0 specifies a X11 rendering while the other two ask for an OpenGL rendering and as such requires the GLX extension to the X server. A value of 1 asks for direct OpenGL rendering which is the faster but is limited to a local session with the display while a value of 2 requests an indirect rendering which is slower but can be streamed to a distant display (at least under X11). If a direct rendering mode is requested but can’t be achieved the indirect render mode will be tried automatically. If neither OpenGL modes are available the X11 mode is used as a fallback. This option must be defined at widget creation time and is readonly for the rest of the session. It can be used to ask if the widget is drawing in OpenGL mode or in plain X mode (to adapt the application code for example). The default value is 0.

Specifies if the clipping shape that can be set in the root group item should clip the root group children or be used to reshape the TkZinc window. This option can be used with the fullreshape option to reshape the toplevel window as well. The default value is true.

Specifies a list with four coordinates describing the left, top, right, and bottom coordinates of a rectangular region. This region is used for scrolling purposes and is considered to be the boundary of the information in the TkZinc.

Specifies the background color to use for displaying the selection in text items. The default value is #a0a0a0.

Specifies the duration of track speed vectors. This option is expressed using a time unit that should be chosen by the application (usually minutes) and kept coherent with the unit of the track attribute -speedvector (usually nautic mile / minute). The default value is 3.

(Slightly adapted from the Tk options manpage).

Determines whether the window accepts the focus during keyboard traversal (e.g., Tab and Shift-Tab). Before setting the focus to a window, the traversal scripts consult the value of the takeFocus option. A value of 0 means that the window should be skipped entirely during keyboard traversal. 1 means that the window should receive the input focus as long as it is viewable (it and all of its ancestors are mapped). An empty value for the option means that the traversal scripts make the decision about whether or not to focus on the window: the current algorithm is to skip the window if it is disabled, if it has no key bindings, or if it is not viewable. If the value has any other form, then the traversal scripts take the value, append the name of the window to it (with a separator space), and evaluate the resulting string as a callback. The script must return 0, 1, or an empty string: a 0 or 1 value specifies whether the window will receive the input focus, and an empty string results in the default decision described above. Note: this interpretation of the option is defined entirely by the callbacks (part of the keyboard traversal scripts) that implement traversal; the widget implementations ignore the option entirely, so you can change its meaning if you redefine the keyboard traversal scripts. The default value is empty.

Specifies an image name to be used as a tile for painting the TkZinc window background. The default value is "" (the empty string).

This option accepts only positive integers. It specifies the number of positions collected in the history list by the track items. When this many positions have been collected, the oldest is dropped to make room for a new one on a first-in first-out basis. See also the -trackvisiblehistorysize option and the -historyvisible track attribute. The default value is 6.

This option accepts only positive integers. It specifies the number of past positions to display for tracks. It is a widget wide control. Users of previous releases used the -visiblehistorysize track attribute for the same effect. The number of past positions displayed can not exceed the accumulated positions controlled by the option -trackmanagedhistorysize . The track -historyvisible attribute controls whether a track should display its history. The default value is 6.

Specifies the symbol displayed at the current position of a track. This option accepts a bitmap . The default value is AtcSymbol15.

Specifies a callback used to communicate with horizontal scrollbars. When the view in the widget’s window changes (or whenever anything else occurs that could change the display in a scrollbar, such as a change in the total size of the widget’s contents), the widget will make a callback passing two numeric arguments in addition to any specified in the callback. Each of the numbers is a fraction between 0 and 1, which indicates a position in the document. 0 indicates the beginning of the document, 1 indicates the end, .333 indicates a position one third the way through the document, and so on. The first fraction indicates the first information in the document that is visible in the window, and the second fraction indicates the information just after the last portion that is visible. Typically the xScrollCommand option consists of the scrollbar widget object and the method “set” i.e. [set =¿ $sb]: this will cause the scrollbar to be updated whenever the view in the window changes. If this option is not specified, then no command will be executed.

Specifies an increment for horizontal scrolling. If the value of this option is greater than zero, the horizontal view in the window will be constrained so that the TkZinc x coordinate at the left edge of the window is always an even multiple of xScrollIncrement; furthermore, the units for scrolling (e.g., the change in view when the left and right arrows of a scrollbar are selected) will also be xScrollIncrement. If the value of this option is less than or equal to zero, then horizontal scrolling is unconstrained.

Specifies a callback used to communicate with vertical scrollbars. This option is treated in the same way as the xScrollCommand option, except that it is used for vertical scrollbars and is provided by widgets that support vertical scrolling. See the description of xScrollCommand for details on how this option is used.

Specifies an increment for vertical scrolling. If the value of this option is greater than zero, the vertical view in the window will be constrained so that the TkZinc y coordinate at the left edge of the window is always an even multiple of yScrollIncrement; furthermore, the units for scrolling (e.g., the change in view when the top and bottom arrows of a scrollbar are selected) will also be yScrollIncrement. If the value of this option is less than or equal to zero, then vertical scrolling is unconstrained.

Specifies the width of the TkZinc window. This value can be given in any of the forms valid for coordinates (See Tk_GetPixels). The default is 100 pixels.
