Description

special version for sub item with type image, this object definition is stored past the rest of the GUI. New since version 2.5 file pathnames are parsed and substituted with the modules directory variable! To ensure that this doesn't conflict with Tcl expressions the file join argument are not quoted!

There are two versions of this procedure. The uuencode package is used when available and the photo images embedded into the generated code.

Base64 encoding. Base64 encoding depends on whether the base64 package is available and also what image extensions are used. For example if img is installed than only gif images can be encoded. if tkpng is installed png images can be encoded, too. To make this part simple it is assumed that no other image extension is installed in the presence of tkpng.

The Img version, features two variations, the data generation is »verified« this is needed for »bitmap« images. Bitmaps cannot being processed with this version.

It may occur that there is neither file nor data for a Img based photo (curious!), the Img version has to detect this and generate the photo image anyway.
