      XSetState can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue errors.

      XSetFunction sets a specified value in the specified GC.

      XSetFunction can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue errors.

      The XSetPlaneMask function sets the plane mask in the specified GC.

      XSetPlaneMask can generate BadAlloc and BadGC errors.

      The XSetForeground function sets the foreground in the specified GC.

      XSetForeground can generate BadAlloc and BadGC errors.

      The XSetBackground function sets the background in the specified GC.

      XSetBackground can generate BadAlloc and BadGC errors.

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

      BadGC     A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined
                GContext.

      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.
