XtGetGC(3Xt)                                         XtGetGC(3Xt)



NAME
     XtGetGC, XtReleaseGC - obtain and destroy a sharable GC

SYNTAX
     GC XtGetGC(w, value_mask, values)
           Widget w;
           XtGCMask value_mask;
           XGCValues *values;

     void XtReleaseGC(w, gc)
           Widget w;
           GC gc;

ARGUMENTS
     gc        Specifies the GC to be deallocated.

     values    Specifies the actual values for this GC.

     value_mask
               Specifies which fields of the values are speci-
               fied.

     w         Specifies the widget.

DESCRIPTION
     The XtGetGC function returns a sharable, read-only GC.  The
     parameters to this function are the same as those for
     XCreateGC except that a widget is passed instead of a
     display.  XtGetGC shares only GCs in which all values in the
     GC returned by XCreateGC are the same.  In particular, it
     does not use the value_mask provided to determine which
     fields of the GC a widget considers relevant.  The
     value_mask is used only to tell the server which fields
     should be filled in with widget data and which it should
     fill in with default values.  For further information about
     value_mask and values, see XCreateGC in the Xlib - C
     Language X Interface.

     The XtReleaseGC function deallocate the specified shared GC.
