Under normal conditions, \fBTk_AllocBitmapFromObj\fR

occurs in creating the bitmap, such as when \fIobjPtr\fR refers
to a non-existent file, then \fBNone\fR is returned and an error

+message is left in \fIinterp\fR's result if \fIinterp\fR is not

value in \fIobjPtr\fR, which speeds up future calls to procedures
such as \fBTk_AllocBitmapFromObj\fR and \fBTk_GetBitmapFromObj\fR.

the window and description used to create the bitmap.

must already have been created with a previous call to
\fBTk_AllocBitmapFromObj\fR or \fBTk_GetBitmap\fR. The return

future calls to \fBTk_GetBitmapFromObj\fR with the same \fIobjPtr\fR

The following code uses \fBTk_DefineBitmap\fR to define a
new bitmap named \fBfoo\fR:
-.VS
.CS
Pixmap bitmap;
#include "stip.bitmap"

\&...
bitmap = Tk_GetBitmap(interp, tkwin, "foo");
.CE
-.VE
This code causes the bitmap file to be read
at compile-time and incorporates the bitmap information into
the program's executable image. The same bitmap file could be
read at run-time using \fBTk_GetBitmap\fR:
-.VS
.CS
Pixmap bitmap;
bitmap = Tk_GetBitmap(interp, tkwin, "@stip.bitmap");
.CE
-.VE
The second form is a bit more flexible (the file could be modified
after the program has been compiled, or a different string could be
provided to read a different file), but it is a little slower and
\fIbitmap\fR must have been created by \fBTk_AllocBitmapFromObj\fR or
\fBTk_GetBitmap\fR.
.PP
-.VS 8.1
When a bitmap is no longer needed, \fBTk_FreeBitmapFromObj\fR or
\fBTk_FreeBitmap\fR should be called to release it.
For \fBTk_FreeBitmapFromObj\fR the bitmap to release is specified
There should be exactly one call to \fBTk_FreeBitmapFromObj\fR

In determining whether an existing bitmap can be used to satisfy
a new request, \fBTk_AllocBitmapFromObj\fR and \fBTk_GetBitmap\fR
