DESCRIPTION
The XCreateBitmapFromData function allows you to include in your C program (using #include) a bitmap file that was written out by
XWriteBitmapFile (X version 11 format only) without reading in the bitmap file. The following example creates a gray bitmap:
Pixmap bitmap;
bitmap = XCreateBitmapFromData(display, window, gray_bits, gray_width,
gray_height);
If insufficient working storage was allocated, XCreateBitmapFromData returns None. It is your responsibility to free the bitmap using
XFreePixmap when finished.
XCreateBitmapFromData can generate a BadAlloc error.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.
BadDrawable
