XCreatePixmap(3X11)XCreatePixmap(3X11)NAME
XCreatePixmap, XFreePixmap - create or destroy pixmaps
SYNOPSIS
Pixmap XCreatePixmap(display, d, width, height, depth)
Display *display;
Drawable d;
unsigned int width, height;
unsigned int depth;
XFreePixmap(display, pixmap)
Display *display;
Pixmap pixmap;
ARGUMENTS
Specifies which screen the pixmap is created on. Specifies the depth
of the pixmap. Specifies the connection to the X server. Specifies
the pixmap. Specify the width and height, which define the dimensions
of the pixmap.
DESCRIPTION
The XCreatePixmap function creates a pixmap of the width, height, and
depth you specified and returns a pixmap ID that identifies it. It is
valid to pass an InputOnly window to the drawable argument. The width
and height arguments must be nonzero, or a BadValue error results. The
depth argument must be one of the depths supported by the screen of the
specified drawable, or a BadValue error results.
The server uses the specified drawable to determine on which screen to
create the pixmap. The pixmap can be used only on this screen and only
with other drawables of the same depth (see XCopyPlane for an exception
to this rule). The initial contents of the pixmap are undefined.
XCreatePixmap can generate BadAlloc, BadDrawable, and BadValue errors.
The XFreePixmap function first deletes the association between the
pixmap ID and the pixmap. Then, the X server frees the pixmap storage
when there are no references to it. The pixmap should never be refer‐
enced again.
XFreePixmap can generate a BadPixmap error.
DIAGNOSTICS
The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.
A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or
Pixmap. A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap.
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the
request. Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full
range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined
as a set of alternatives can generate this error.
