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.
