6 XCreatePixmap, XFreePixmap - create or destroy pixmaps
7
9 Pixmap XCreatePixmap(Display *display, Drawable d, unsigned int width,
10 unsigned int height, unsigned int depth);
11
12 int XFreePixmap(Display *display, Pixmap pixmap);
13
15 d Specifies which screen the pixmap is created on.
16
17 depth Specifies the depth of the pixmap.
18
19 display Specifies the connection to the X server.
20
21 pixmap Specifies the pixmap.
22
23 width
24 height Specify the width and height, which define the dimensions of
25 the pixmap.
26
28 The XCreatePixmap function creates a pixmap of the width, height, and
29 depth you specified and returns a pixmap ID that identifies it. It is
30 valid to pass an InputOnly window to the drawable argument. The width
31 and height arguments must be nonzero, or a BadValue error results. The
32 depth argument must be one of the depths supported by the screen of the
33 specified drawable, or a BadValue error results.
34
35 The server uses the specified drawable to determine on which screen to
36 create the pixmap. The pixmap can be used only on this screen and only
37 with other drawables of the same depth (see XCopyPlane for an exception
38 to this rule). The initial contents of the pixmap are undefined.
39
40 XCreatePixmap can generate BadAlloc, BadDrawable, and BadValue errors.
41
42 The XFreePixmap function first deletes the association between the
43 pixmap ID and the pixmap. Then, the X server frees the pixmap storage
44 when there are no references to it. The pixmap should never be refer‐
45 enced again.
46
47 XFreePixmap can generate a BadPixmap error.
48
50 BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested resource or
51 server memory.
52
53 BadDrawable
54 A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Win‐
55 dow or Pixmap.
56
57 BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap.
58
59 BadValue Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted
60 by the request. Unless a specific range is specified for an
61 argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is
62 accepted. Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can
63 generate this error.
