     XtGetGC(3Xt)        X Version 11 (Release 3)         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
                    specified.

          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.
