23 display
24 Specifies the connection to the X server.
25
26 d Specifies which screen the pixmap is created on.
27
28 buffer Specifies the location of the buffer.
29
30 pixmap_return
31 Returns the pixmap which is created if the color None.
32
33 shapemask_return
34 Returns the shape mask pixmap which is created if the color None
35 is used.
36
37 attributes
38 Specifies the location of a structure to get and store informa‐
39 tion.
40
41 image Specifies the XpmImage.

45 XpmCreatePixmapFromData
46 To create a Pixmap from an XPM data, use XpmCreatePixmapFromData().
47 The XpmCreatePixmapFromData() function creates X images using XpmCre‐
48 ateImageFromData(3) and thus returns the same errors. In addition on
49 success it then creates the related pixmaps, using XPutImage(3), which
50 are returned to pixmap_return and shapemask_return if not NULL, and fi‐
51 nally destroys the created images using XDestroyImage(3). Do not for‐
52 get to free the returned pixmaps, the colors, and possibly the data re‐
53 turned into the XpmAttributes structure when done.

56 XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer
57 To create a Pixmap from an XPM buffer, use XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer().
58 The XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer() function works the same way as XpmRead‐
59 FileToPixmap(3), it just calls XpmCreateImageFromBuffer(3) instead of
60 XpmReadFileToImage(3).

62
63 XpmCreatePixmapFromXpmImage
64 XpmCreatePixmapFromXpmImage() creates X images calling XpmCreateImage‐
65 FromXpmImage(3) with the given XpmImage and XpmAttributes, then it cre‐
66 ates the related pixmaps which are returned to pixmap_return and shape‐
67 mask_return using XPutImage(3). Finally it destroys the X images with
68 XDestroyImage(3). When finished the caller must free the pixmaps using
69 XFreePixmap(3), the colors using XFreeColors(3) or the application
70 equivalent function when the standard Xlib functions are not used, and
71 possibly the data returned into the XpmAttributes using XpmFreeAt‐
72 tributes(3).
