XCreatePixmap(3X11)           X11 SDE 5.4R3.00           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.
