<section>
<title>BOXES</title>
<p>The <b>Ttk_Box</b> structure represents a rectangular region of a window: 
</p>
<syntax cat="type" name="Ttk_Box" scope="global">
typedef struct 	{
    int x;
    int y;
    int width;
    int height;
} Ttk_Box;
</syntax>
<p>All coordinates are relative to the window.
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_MakeBox</b> is a convenience routine that contsructs
a <b>Ttk_Box</b> structure representing a region <i>width</i> pixels
wide, <i>height</i> pixels tall, at the specified <i>x, y</i> coordinates.
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_PadBox</b> returns a new box located inside the specified <i>parcel</i>,
shrunken according to the left, top, right, and bottom margins 
specified by <i>padding</i>.
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_ExpandBox</b> is the inverse of <b>Ttk_PadBox</b>:
it returns a new box surrounding the specified <i>parcel</i>,
expanded  according to the left, top, right, and bottom margins 
specified by <i>padding</i>.
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_PackBox</b> allocates a parcel <i>width</i> by <i>height</i>
pixels wide on the specified <i>side</i> of the <i>cavity</i>,
and shrinks the <i>cavity</i> accordingly.
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_StickBox</b> places a box with the requested <i>width</i>
and <i>height</i> inside the <i>parcel</i> according to the 
<i>sticky</i> bits.
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_PlaceBox</b> combines <b>Ttk_PackBox</b> and <b>Ttk_StickBox</b>:
it allocates a parcel on the specified <i>side</i> of the <i>cavity</i>,
places a box of the requested size inside the parcel according to <i>sticky</i>,
and shrinks the <i>cavity</i>.
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_AnchorBox</b> places a box with the requested <i>width</i>
and <i>height</i> inside the <i>parcel</i> according to the
specified <i>anchor</i> option.
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_BoxContains</b> tests if the specified <i>x, y</i> coordinate
lies within the rectangular region <i>box</i>.
</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>PADDDING</title>
<p>The <b>Ttk_Padding</b> structure is used to represent 
borders, internal padding, and external margins:
</p>
<syntax cat="type" name="Ttk_Padding" scope="global">
typedef struct {
    short left;
    short top;
    short right;
    short bottom;
} Ttk_Padding;
</syntax>
<p><b>Ttk_MakePadding</b> is a convenience routine that contsructs
a <b>Ttk_Padding</b> structure with the specified left, top, right, and bottom
components.  
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_UniformPadding</b> constructs a <b>Ttk_Padding</b> structure
with all components equal to the specified <i>border</i>.
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_AddPadding</b> adds two <b>Ttk_Padding</b>s together
and returns a combined padding containing the sum of the
individual padding components.
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_RelievePadding</b> 
adds an extra 2 pixels of padding to <i>padding</i>
according to the specified <i>relief</i>.
If <i>relief</i> is <b>TK_RELIEF_SUNKEN</b>, 
adds two pixels at the top and left
so the inner region is shifted down and to the left.
If it is <b>TK_RELIEF_RAISED</b>, 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.

</p>

<section>
<title>CONVERSION ROUTINES</title>
<p><b>Ttk_GetPaddingFromObj</b> converts the string in <i>objPtr</i>
to a <b>Ttk_Padding</b> structure.
The string representation is a list of 
up to four length specifications 
<i>"left top right bottom"</i>.  
If fewer than four elements are specified, 
<i>bottom</i> defaults to <i>top</i>,
<i>right</i> defaults to <i>left</i>, and 
<i>top</i> defaults to <i>left</i>.
See <b>Tk_GetPixelsFromObj(3)</b> for the syntax of length specifications.
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_GetBorderFromObj</b> is the same as <b>Ttk_GetPaddingFromObj</b>
except that the lengths are specified as integers 
(i.e., resolution-dependant values like <i>3m</i> are not allowed).
</p>
<p><b>Ttk_GetStickyFromObj</b> converts the string in <i>objPtr</i>
to a <i>sticky</i> bitmask.  The string contains zero or more
of the characters <b>n</b>, <b>s</b>, <b>e</b>, or <b>w</b>.
