     XCreatePixmap(3X11) X Version 11 (Release 5)  XCreatePixmap(3X11)



     NAME
          XCreatePixmap, XFreePixmap - create or destroy pixmaps

     SYNTAX
          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
          d         Specifies which screen the pixmap is created on.

          depth     Specifies the depth of the pixmap.

          display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

          pixmap    Specifies the pixmap.

          width
          height    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 referenced again.

          XFreePixmap can generate a BadPixmap error.

     DIAGNOSTICS
          BadAlloc  The server failed to allocate the requested
                    resource or server memory.

          BadDrawable
                    A value for a Drawable argument does not name a
                    defined Window or Pixmap.

          BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a
                    defined Pixmap.

          BadValue  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.
