.SH "BOXES"
The \fBTtk_Box\fR structure represents a rectangular region of a window: 
.CS
typedef struct 	{
    int x;
    int y;
    int width;
    int height;
} Ttk_Box;
.CE
All coordinates are relative to the window.
.PP
\fBTtk_MakeBox\fR is a convenience routine that contsructs
a \fBTtk_Box\fR structure representing a region \fIwidth\fR pixels
wide, \fIheight\fR pixels tall, at the specified \fIx, y\fR coordinates.
.PP
\fBTtk_PadBox\fR returns a new box located inside the specified \fIparcel\fR,
shrunken according to the left, top, right, and bottom margins 
specified by \fIpadding\fR.
.PP
\fBTtk_ExpandBox\fR is the inverse of \fBTtk_PadBox\fP:
it returns a new box surrounding the specified \fIparcel\fR,
expanded  according to the left, top, right, and bottom margins 
specified by \fIpadding\fR.
.PP
\fBTtk_PackBox\fR allocates a parcel \fIwidth\fR by \fIheight\fR
pixels wide on the specified \fIside\fR of the \fIcavity\fR,
and shrinks the \fIcavity\fR accordingly.
.PP
\fBTtk_StickBox\fR places a box with the requested \fIwidth\fR
and \fIheight\fR inside the \fIparcel\fR according to the 
\fIsticky\fR bits.
.PP
\fBTtk_PlaceBox\fP combines \fBTtk_PackBox\fP and \fBTtk_StickBox\fP:
it allocates a parcel on the specified \fIside\fP of the \fIcavity\fP,
places a box of the requested size inside the parcel according to \fIsticky\fP,
and shrinks the \fIcavity\fP.
.PP
\fBTtk_AnchorBox\fR places a box with the requested \fIwidth\fR
and \fIheight\fR inside the \fIparcel\fR according to the
specified \fIanchor\fR option.
.PP
\fBTtk_BoxContains\fR tests if the specified \fIx, y\fR coordinate
lies within the rectangular region \fIbox\fR.
.SH "PADDDING"
The \fBTtk_Padding\fR structure is used to represent 
borders, internal padding, and external margins:
.CS
typedef struct {
    short left;
    short top;
    short right;
    short bottom;
} Ttk_Padding;
.CE
.PP 
\fBTtk_MakePadding\fR is a convenience routine that contsructs
a \fBTtk_Padding\fR structure with the specified left, top, right, and bottom
components.  
.PP
\fBTtk_UniformPadding\fR constructs a \fBTtk_Padding\fR structure
with all components equal to the specified \fIborder\fR.
.PP
\fBTtk_AddPadding\fR adds two \fBTtk_Padding\fRs together
and returns a combined padding containing the sum of the
individual padding components.
.PP
\fBTtk_RelievePadding\fR 
adds an extra 2 pixels of padding to \fIpadding\fR
according to the specified \fIrelief\fR.
If \fIrelief\fR is \fBTK_RELIEF_SUNKEN\fR, 
adds two pixels at the top and left
so the inner region is shifted down and to the left.
If it is \fBTK_RELIEF_RAISED\fR, adds two pixels
at the bottom and right so 
the inner region is shifted up and to the right.
Otherwise, adds 1 pixel on all sides.
This is typically used in element geometry procedures to simulate 
a "pressed-in" look for pushbuttons.

.SH "CONVERSION ROUTINES"
\fBTtk_GetPaddingFromObj\fR converts the string in \fIobjPtr\fR
to a \fBTtk_Padding\fR structure.
The string representation is a list of 
up to four length specifications 
\fI"left top right bottom"\fR.  
If fewer than four elements are specified, 
\fIbottom\fR defaults to \fItop\fR,
\fIright\fR defaults to \fIleft\fR, and 
\fItop\fR defaults to \fIleft\fR.
See \fBTk_GetPixelsFromObj(3)\fR for the syntax of length specifications.
.PP
\fBTtk_GetBorderFromObj\fR is the same as \fBTtk_GetPaddingFromObj\fP
except that the lengths are specified as integers 
(i.e., resolution-dependant values like \fI3m\fP are not allowed).
.PP
\fBTtk_GetStickyFromObj\fR converts the string in \fIobjPtr\fR
to a \fIsticky\fR bitmask.  The string contains zero or more
of the characters \fBn\fR, \fBs\fR, \fBe\fR, or \fBw\fR.
