9 int XCopyArea(Display *display, Drawable src, Drawable dest, GC gc, int
10 src_x, int src_y, unsigned int width, unsigned height, int
11 dest_x, int dest_y);
12 int XCopyPlane(Display *display, Drawable src, Drawable dest, GC gc,
14 int src_x, int src_y, unsigned width, unsigned height, int
15 dest_x, int dest_y, unsigned long plane);
16
18 dest_x
19 dest_y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the
20 origin of the destination rectangle and specify its upper-
21 left corner.
22 display Specifies the connection to the X server.
24 gc Specifies the GC.
26 plane Specifies the bit plane. You must set exactly one bit to 1.
28 src
30 dest Specify the source and destination rectangles to be combined.
31 src_x
33 src_y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the
34 origin of the source rectangle and specify its upper-left
35 corner.
36 width
38 height Specify the width and height, which are the dimensions of
39 both the source and destination rectangles.

42 The XCopyArea function combines the specified rectangle of src with the
43 specified rectangle of dest. The drawables must have the same root and
44 depth, or a BadMatch error results.
45 If regions of the source rectangle are obscured and have not been
47 retained in backing store or if regions outside the boundaries of the
48 source drawable are specified, those regions are not copied. Instead,
49 the following occurs on all corresponding destination regions that are
50 either visible or are retained in backing store. If the destination is
51 a window with a background other than None, corresponding regions of
52 the destination are tiled with that background (with plane-mask of all
53 ones and GXcopy function). Regardless of tiling or whether the desti‐
54 nation is a window or a pixmap, if graphics-exposures is True, then
55 GraphicsExpose events for all corresponding destination regions are
56 generated. If graphics-exposures is True but no GraphicsExpose events
57 are generated, a NoExpose event is generated. Note that by default
58 graphics-exposures is True in new GCs.
59 This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, subwin‐
61 dow-mode, graphics-exposures, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-
62 mask.
63 XCopyArea can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and BadMatch errors.
65 The XCopyPlane function uses a single bit plane of the specified source
67 rectangle combined with the specified GC to modify the specified rec‐
68 tangle of dest. The drawables must have the same root but need not
69 have the same depth. If the drawables do not have the same root, a
70 BadMatch error results. If plane does not have exactly one bit set to
71 1 and the value of plane is not less than %2 sup n%, where n is the
72 depth of src, a BadValue error results.
73 Effectively, XCopyPlane forms a pixmap of the same depth as the rectan‐
75 gle of dest and with a size specified by the source region. It uses
76 the foreground/background pixels in the GC (foreground everywhere the
77 bit plane in src contains a bit set to 1, background everywhere the bit
78 plane in src contains a bit set to 0) and the equivalent of a CopyArea
79 protocol request is performed with all the same exposure semantics.
80 This can also be thought of as using the specified region of the source
81 bit plane as a stipple with a fill-style of FillOpaqueStippled for
82 filling a rectangular area of the destination.
83 This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, fore‐
85 ground, background, subwindow-mode, graphics-exposures, clip-x-origin,
86 clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.
87 XCopyPlane can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue
89 errors.

92 BadDrawable
93 A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Win‐
94 dow or Pixmap.
95 BadGC A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GCon‐
97 text.
98 BadMatch An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.
100 BadMatch Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and
102 range but fails to match in some other way required by the
103 request.
104 BadValue Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted
106 by the request. Unless a specific range is specified for an
107 argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is
108 accepted. Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can
109 generate this error.
