#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h> int MrmFetchColorLiteral(hierarchy_id, index, display, colormap_id, pixel) MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id; String index; Display *display; Colormap colormap_id; Pixel *pixel; DESCRIPTION
The MrmFetchColorLiteral function fetches a named color literal from a UID file, and converts the color literal to a pixel color value. Specifies the ID of the UID hierarchy that contains the specified literal. The hierarchy_id was returned in a previous call to MrmOpenHier- archyPerDisplay. Specifies the UIL name of the color literal to fetch. You must define this name in UIL as an exported value. Specifies the display used for the pixmap. The display argument specifies the connection to the X server. For more information on the Display struc- ture, see the Xlib function XOpenDisplay. Specifies the ID of the color map. If NULL, the default color map is used. Returns the ID of the color literal. RETURN VALUE
This function returns one of these status return constants: The function executed successfully. The hierarchy ID was invalid. The color literal was not found in the UIL file. The caller tried to fetch a literal of a type not supported by this function. The function failed. SEE ALSO
