XmGetPixmapByDepth(3X) UNIX System V XmGetPixmapByDepth(3X)
NAME
XmGetPixmapByDepth - A pixmap caching function that
generates a pixmap, stores it in a pixmap cache, and returns
the pixmap
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
Pixmap XmGetPixmapByDepth (screen, image_name,foreground, background, depth)
Screen *screen;
char *image_name;
Pixel foreground;
Pixel background;
int depth;
VERSION
This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.
DESCRIPTION
XmGetPixmapByDepth uses the parameter data to perform a
lookup in the pixmap cache to see if a pixmap has already
been generated that matches the data. If one is found, a
reference count is incremented and the pixmap is returned.
Applications should use XmDestroyPixmap when the pixmap is
no longer needed.
If a matching pixmap is not found, image_name is used to
perform a lookup in the image cache. If an image is found,
it is used to generate the pixmap, which is then cached and
returned.
If an image is not found, image_name is used as a filename,
and a search is made for an X10 or X11 bitmap file. If it
is found, the file is read, converted into an image, and
cached in the image cache. The image is then used to
generate a pixmap, which is cached and returned.
If image_name has a leading slash (/), it specifies a full
pathname, and XmGetPixmapByDepth opens the file as
specified. Otherwise, image_name specifies a filename. In
this case XmGetPixmapByDepth looks for the file along a
search path specified by the XBMLANGPATH environment
variable or by a default search path, which varies depending
on whether or not the XAPPLRESDIR environment variable is
set.
The XBMLANGPATH environment variable specifies a search path
for X bitmap files. It can contain the substitution field
%B, where the image_name argument to XmGetPixmapByDepth is
substituted for %B. It can also contain the substitution
fields accepted by XtResolvePathname. The substitution

field %T is always mapped to bitmaps, and %S is always
mapped to NULL.
If XBMLANGPATH is not set, but the environment variable
XAPPLRESDIR is set, the following pathnames are searched:
%B
$XAPPLRESDIR/%L/bitmaps/%N/%B
$XAPPLRESDIR/%l/bitmaps/%N/%B
$XAPPLRESDIR/bitmaps/%N/%B
$XAPPLRESDIR/%L/bitmaps/%B
$XAPPLRESDIR/%l/bitmaps/%B
$XAPPLRESDIR/bitmaps/%B
$HOME/bitmaps/%B
$HOME/%B
/usr/lib/X11/%L/bitmaps/%N/%B
/usr/lib/X11/%l/bitmaps/%N/%B
/usr/lib/X11/bitmaps/%N/%B
/usr/lib/X11/%L/bitmaps/%B
/usr/lib/X11/%l/bitmaps/%B
/usr/lib/X11/bitmaps/%B
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps/%B
If neither XBMLANGPATH nor XAPPLRESDIR is set, the following
pathnames are searched:
%B
$HOME/%L/bitmaps/%N/%B
$HOME/%l/bitmaps/%N/%B
$HOME/bitmaps/%N/%B
$HOME/%L/bitmaps/%B
$HOME/%l/bitmaps/%B
$HOME/bitmaps/%B
$HOME/%B
/usr/lib/X11/%L/bitmaps/%N/%B
/usr/lib/X11/%l/bitmaps/%N/%B
/usr/lib/X11/bitmaps/%N/%B
/usr/lib/X11/%L/bitmaps/%B
/usr/lib/X11/%l/bitmaps/%B
/usr/lib/X11/bitmaps/%B
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps/%B
These paths are defaults that vendors may change. For
example, a vendor may use different directories for
/usr/lib/X11 and /usr/include/X11.
The following substitutions are used in these paths:
%B The image name, from the image_name argument

%N The class name of the application
%L The display's language string
%l The language component of the display's language string
Parameter descriptions are listed below:
screen Specifies the display screen on which the pixmap
is to be drawn
image_name
Specifies the name of the image to be used to
generate the pixmap
foreground
Combines the image with the foreground color to
create the pixmap if the image referenced is a
bit-per-pixel image
background
Combines the image with the background color to
create the pixmap if the image referenced is a
bit-per-pixel image
depth Specifies the depth of the pixmap
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pixmap when successful; returns
XmUNSPECIFIEDPIXMAP if the image corresponding to
image_name cannot be found.
