 Description

    The XSetState function sets the foreground, background, plane mask, and
    function components for the specified GC.

    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.
