map::point::map-display(3tk)

💖 map::point::map-display — bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick, this is a page from the Map display support corner of the manual, and the star of the show is map::point::map-display(3tk). it's a Tcl/Tk thing, it's giving layer energy, and we're gonna get into it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

map::point::map-display — Map Action Engine — the layer that displays your point definitions. like, it's the whole entire point-display situation. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

package require Tcl 8.6-

package require Tk 8.6-

package require canvas::edit::points

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this package hands you a map::display attachment that extends how the map behaves. it's an add-on vibe, not a standalone main character.

what does this attachment do?? it shows a set of geo/point definitions. that's it, that's the job. 🎀

and here's the lowkey smart part: it makes sure that only the visible points actually use up canvas resources (aka items). so you're not out here burning canvas items on points nobody can even see. the way that it's efficient?? obsessed. ✨

🔥 API 🔥

(this section is literally just the heading in the original — no extra content, so no extra content from me either. keeping it 100.) 💜

---

💀 EXAMPLE 💀

(same situation as API — the original just has the heading here. no example text exists to hand you, so I'm not gonna make one up. fr fr.) 🙈

😭 BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK 😭

ngl, this document AND the package it describes will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. that's a direct quote from the source, bestie, I'm not being dramatic (okay maybe a little).

so if you find something cursed, please report it in the category map of the Tklib Trackers:

http://core.tcl.tk/tklib/reportlist

and please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have — for the package, for the documentation, or for both. they want your thoughts, genuinely. 🫶
