XCreatePixmap(3X11)													       XCreatePixmap(3X11)

NAME

       XCreatePixmap, XFreePixmap - create or destroy pixmaps

SYNOPSIS

       Pixmap XCreatePixmap(display, d, width, height, depth)
	       Display *display;
	       Drawable d;
	       unsigned int width, height;
	       unsigned int depth;

       XFreePixmap(display, pixmap)
	       Display *display;
	       Pixmap pixmap;

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies  which screen the pixmap is created on.  Specifies the depth of the pixmap.  Specifies the connection to the X server.  Specifies
       the pixmap.  Specify the width and height, which define the dimensions of the pixmap.

DESCRIPTION

       The XCreatePixmap function creates a pixmap of the width, height, and depth you specified and returns a pixmap ID that identifies it. It is
       valid  to  pass	an InputOnly window to the drawable argument. The width and height arguments must be nonzero, or a BadValue error results.
       The depth argument must be one of the depths supported by the screen of the specified drawable, or a BadValue error results.

       The server uses the specified drawable to determine on which screen to create the pixmap. The pixmap can be used only on  this  screen  and
       only  with  other  drawables of the same depth (see XCopyPlane for an exception to this rule). The initial contents of the pixmap are unde-
       fined.

       XCreatePixmap can generate BadAlloc, BadDrawable, and BadValue errors.

       The XFreePixmap function first deletes the association between the pixmap ID and the pixmap. Then, the X server frees  the  pixmap  storage
       when there are no references to it. The pixmap should never be referenced again.

       XFreePixmap can generate a BadPixmap error.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The  server  failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.  A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or
       Pixmap.	A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap.  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.
