If bitmap begins with a `@', the remaining characters must be the path name of an Inferno image file. If bitmap begins with the character `<', the remaining charac‐ ters must be a decimal integer giving the file descriptor number of an open file (see sys-open(2)) from which the bitmap can be loaded. Otherwise, bitmap should be the name of a bitmap file in the directory /icons/tk.color A color parameter can be a colour name or an RGB (red, green and blue luminance) value. The colour names rec‐ ognized are: aqua yellow red teal white fuchsia black blue darkblue transparent maroon gray green lime purple navy olive orange For RGB values, either #rgb or #rrggbb can be used, where r, rr, etc. are hexadecimal values for the cor‐ responding colour components. The notation #rrggbbaa can be used to describe a colour with alpha (trans‐ parency) component aa; the rr, gg, and bb values should be pre-multiplied appropriately. This is the canonical form for colour values. Alternatively, transparency can be applied to any other colour using a suffix *alpha where alpha is either #aa (two hex digits representing an alpha value between 0 and 255) or f (a decimal fixed point number between 0 and 1). For example, red*0.5 gives half transparent red; #007f007f*#7f gives 0.75 transparent green (canoni‐ cally #003f003f).dist Dist specifies a distance on the screen, in the fol‐ lowing form: an optional minus sign (-), then one or more decimal digits (with possible embedded decimal point), then an optional units specifier.

= types: Standard types required by widget options.
This manual entry describes the the standard types that can
be given as arguments to Inferno Tk widget options. When an
option is documented, the type of argument that it accepts is
either documented there, or the name of the argument refers
to one of the names documented below.
anchorPos
One of the values n, ne, e, se, s, sw, w, nw, or cen‐
ter. See -anchor in options(9).
boolean
A true or false value, one of the following: 0, no,
off, false (false), 1, yes, on, true (true).
bitmap Identifies an image which can be drawn, or used as a
mask through which something else is drawn. If bitmap
begins with a `@', the remaining characters must be
the path name of an Inferno image file. If bitmap
begins with the character `<', the remaining charac‐
ters must be a decimal integer giving the file
descriptor number of an open file (see sys-open(2))
from which the bitmap can be loaded. Otherwise, bitmap
should be the name of a bitmap file in the directory
/icons/tk.
color A color parameter can be a colour name or an RGB (red,
green and blue luminance) value. The colour names rec‐
ognized are:
aqua yellow red teal white
fuchsia black blue darkblue transparent
maroon gray green lime
purple navy olive orange
For RGB values, either #rgb or #rrggbb can be used,
where r, rr, etc. are hexadecimal values for the cor‐
responding colour components. The notation #rrggbbaa
can be used to describe a colour with alpha (trans‐
parency) component aa; the rr, gg, and bb values
should be pre-multiplied appropriately. This is the
canonical form for colour values. Alternatively,
transparency can be applied to any other colour using
a suffix *alpha where alpha is either #aa (two hex
digits representing an alpha value between 0 and 255)
or f (a decimal fixed point number between 0 and 1).
For example, red*0.5 gives half transparent red;
#007f007f*#7f gives 0.75 transparent green (canoni‐
cally #003f003f).
dist Dist specifies a distance on the screen, in the fol‐
lowing form: an optional minus sign (-), then one or
more decimal digits (with possible embedded decimal
point), then an optional units specifier. The unit
specifiers are the following:
c centimetres
m millimetres
i inches
p points (1/72th inch)
h height of widget's font (only applicable if the
widget has an associated font, and if the font
has previously been set).
w width of the zero (0) character in widget's
font. (see above).
Measurements are converted into pixels assuming 100
dots
per inch on an average CRT display.
font A font parameter gives the full path name of an
Inferno font file; for example, /sys/font/pelm/uni‐
code.9.font.
frac A numeric, possibly fractional, value.
relief One of raised, sunken, flat, ridge, or groove. See
-relief in options(9).
