Name

dumper::zincNew

Synopsis

          zincNew window \
             type group coords \
             properties transformation ?wnode?

Description

ZincNew is similar to canvasNew. Some Zinc items require coordinate calculation; see »coordszinc«. Transformations have to be resolved, too; and added as a transformation »matrix« to the properties –the transformation matrix is an attribute under SVG and TkPath!

Groups and clipping items are not processed here.

Each Zinc item is a child of a »group«. The »group« parameter is used to identify its parent node–it was created using »groupv« (an abbreviation for group variable).

Clients

zincNew is being used by ::dumper::groupzinc, ::dumper::clipzinc, ::dumper::instantiate.

zincNew is being used by ::vgcode::dump-configure-Zinc clients.

# Now it's time to create the code generation stuff
# This part does only apply for those item not used
# to clip a parent group...
