NAME

XtDestroyGC − Release 2 compatible function to free read-only GCs. 

SYNOPSIS

void XtDestroyGC(w, gc)
    Widget w;
    GC gc;

Inputs

wSpecifies any object on the display for which the GC was created. 

gcSpecifies the GC to be deallocated. 

AVAILABILITY

XtDestroyGC() is superseded by XtReleaseGC(). 

DESCRIPTION

XtDestroyGC() deallocates a shared (read-only) Graphics Context.  References to sharable GCs are counted, and a free request is generated to the server when the last user of a given GC destroys it. 

Note that some earlier versions of XtDestroyGC() had only a gc argument.  Therefore, this function is not very portable.  In addition, XtDestroyGC() is only guaranteed to work properly if there is exactly one open display in the application. 

USAGE

You should never use this function.  Programs running under Release 3 and later should be converted to use XtReleaseGC().
