ARGUMENTS
d Specifies the drawable.
destimage
Specify the destination image.
destx
desty Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the
origin of the drawable and are the coordinates of the
subimage or which are relative to the origin of the
destination rectangle, specify its upper-left corner, and
determine where the subimage is placed in the destination
image.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
format Specifies the format for the image. You can pass XYPixmap
or ZPixmap.
gc Specifies the GC.
image Specifies the image you want combined with the rectangle.
planemask
Specifies the plane mask.
srcx Specifies the offset in X from the left edge of the image
defined by the XImage data structure.
srcy Specifies the offset in Y from the top edge of the image
defined by the XImage data structure.
width
height Specify the width and height of the subimage, which define
the dimensions of the rectangle.
x
y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the
origin of the drawable and define the upper-left corner of
the rectangle.
DESCRIPTION
The XPutImage function combines an image in memory with a rectangle
of the specified drawable. If XYBitmap format is used, the depth of
the image must be one, or a BadMatch error results. The foreground
pixel in the GC defines the source for the one bits in the image, and
the background pixel defines the source for the zero bits. For
XYPixmap and ZPixmap, the depth of the image must match the depth of
the drawable, or a BadMatch error results. The section of the image
defined by the src_x, src_y, width, and height arguments is drawn on
the specified part of the drawable.
This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask,
subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. It also
uses these GC mode-dependent components: foreground and background.
XPutImage can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue
errors.
The XGetImage function returns a pointer to an XImage structure.
This structure provides you with the contents of the specified
rectangle of the drawable in the format you specify. If the format
argument is XYPixmap, the image contains only the bit planes you
passed to the plane_mask argument. If the plane_mask argument only
requests a subset of the planes of the display, the depth of the
returned image will be the number of planes requested. If the format
argument is ZPixmap, XGetImage returns as zero the bits in all planes
not specified in the plane_mask argument. The function performs no
range checking on the values in plane_mask and ignores extraneous
bits.
XGetImage returns the depth of the image to the depth member of the
XImage structure. The depth of the image is as specified when the
drawable was created, except when getting a subset of the planes in
XYPixmap format, when the depth is given by the number of bits set to
1 in plane_mask.
If the drawable is a pixmap, the given rectangle must be wholly
contained within the pixmap, or a BadMatch error results. If the
drawable is a window, the window must be viewable, and it must be the
case that if there were no inferiors or overlapping windows, the
specified rectangle of the window would be fully visible on the
screen and wholly contained within the outside edges of the window,
or a BadMatch error results. Note that the borders of the window can
be included and read with this request. If the window has backing-
store, the backing-store contents are returned for regions of the
window that are obscured by noninferior windows. If the window does
not have backing-store, the returned contents of such obscured
regions are undefined. The returned contents of visible regions of
inferiors of a different depth than the specified window's depth are
also undefined. The pointer cursor image is not included in the
returned contents. If a problem occurs, XGetImage returns NULL.
XGetImage can generate BadDrawable, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.
The XGetSubImage function updates dest_image with the specified
subimage in the same manner as XGetImage. If the format argument is
XYPixmap, the image contains only the bit planes you passed to the
plane_mask argument. If the format argument is ZPixmap, XGetSubImage
returns as zero the bits in all planes not specified in the
plane_mask argument. The function performs no range checking on the
values in plane_mask and ignores extraneous bits. As a convenience,
XGetSubImage returns a pointer to the same XImage structure specified
by dest_image.
The depth of the destination XImage structure must be the same as
that of the drawable. If the specified subimage does not fit at the
specified location on the destination image, the right and bottom
edges are clipped. If the drawable is a pixmap, the given rectangle
must be wholly contained within the pixmap, or a BadMatch error
results. If the drawable is a window, the window must be viewable,
and it must be the case that if there were no inferiors or
overlapping windows, the specified rectangle of the window would be
fully visible on the screen and wholly contained within the outside
edges of the window, or a BadMatch error results. If the window has
backing-store, then the backing-store contents are returned for
regions of the window that are obscured by noninferior windows. If
the window does not have backing-store, the returned contents of such
obscured regions are undefined. The returned contents of visible
regions of inferiors of a different depth than the specified window's
depth are also undefined. If a problem occurs, XGetSubImage returns
NULL.
XGetSubImage can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue
errors.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadDrawable
A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined
Window or Pixmap.
BadGC A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined
GContext.
BadMatch An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.
BadMatch Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and
range but fails to match in some other way required by the
request.
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.
