The selBorder field identifies a Tk_3DBorder that should be
used for drawing the background under selected text.
selBorderWidth gives the width of the raised border around
selected text, in pixels.
selFgColorPtr points to an XColor that describes the foreground
color to be used when drawing selected text.
selItemPtr points to the item that is currently selected, or
NULL if there is no item selected or if the canvas does not have the
selection.
selectFirst and selectLast give the indices of the first
and last selected characters in selItemPtr, as returned by the
indexProc for that item.
anchorItemPtr points to the item that currently has the selection
anchor; this is not necessarily the same as selItemPtr.
selectAnchor is an index that identifies the anchor position
within anchorItemPtr.
insertBorder contains a Tk_3DBorder to use when drawing the
insertion cursor; insertWidth gives the total width of the
insertion cursor in pixels, and insertBorderWidth gives the
width of the raised border around the insertion cursor.
focusItemPtr identifies the item that currently has the input
focus, or NULL if there is no such item.
gotFocus is 1 if the canvas widget has the input focus and
0 otherwise.
cursorOn is 1 if the insertion cursor should be drawn in
focusItemPtr and 0 if it should not be drawn; this field
is toggled on and off by Tk to make the cursor blink.
The structure returned by Tk_CanvasGetTextInfo is shared between Tk and the type managers; typically the type manager calls Tk_CanvasGetTextInfo once when an item is created and then saves the pointer in the item's record. Tk will update information in the Tk_CanvasTextInfo; for example, a configure widget command might change the selBorder field, or a select widget command might change the selectFirst field, or Tk might change cursorOn in order to make the insertion cursor flash on and off during successive redisplays.
Type managers should treat all of the fields of the Tk_CanvasTextInfo structure as read-only, except for selItemPtr, selectFirst, selectLast, and selectAnchor. Type managers may change selectFirst, selectLast, and selectAnchor to adjust for insertions and deletions in the item (but only if the item is the current owner of the selection or anchor, as determined by selItemPtr or anchorItemPtr). If all of the selected text in the item is deleted, the item should set selItemPtr to NULL to indicate that there is no longer a selection.
