DESCRIPTION

       Tk_GetJustifyFromObj  places  in  *justifyPtr  the justify value corre- |
       sponding to objPtr's value.  This value will be one of the following:

       TK_JUSTIFY_LEFT
              Means that the text on each line should start at the  left  edge
              of  the  line;   as  a  result,  the right edges of lines may be
              ragged.

       TK_JUSTIFY_RIGHT
              Means that the text on each line should end at the right edge of
              the line;  as a result, the left edges of lines may be ragged.

       TK_JUSTIFY_CENTER
              Means  that  the  text  on  each  line should be centered;  as a
              result, both the left and right edges of lines may be ragged.

       Under normal circumstances the return value is  TCL_OK  and  interp  is |
       unused.   If  objPtr  doesn't contain a valid justification style or an |
       abbreviation of one of these names, TCL_ERROR is returned,  *justifyPtr |
       is  unmodified,  and  an  error message is stored in interp's result if |
       interp isn't NULL.  Tk_GetJustifyFromObj caches information  about  the |
       return  value  in  objPtr, which speeds up future calls to Tk_GetJusti- |
       fyFromObj with the same objPtr.                                         |

       Tk_GetJustify is identical  to  Tk_GetJustifyFromObj  except  that  the |
       description  of the justification is specified with a string instead of |
       an object.  This prevents Tk_GetJustify from caching the return  value, |
       so Tk_GetJustify is less efficient than Tk_GetJustifyFromObj.

       Tk_NameOfJustify is the logical inverse of Tk_GetJustify.  Given a jus-
       tify value it returns a statically-allocated  string  corresponding  to
       justify.  If justify isn't a legal justify value, then ``unknown justi-
       fication style'' is returned.
