DESCRIPTION
       These  procedures are identical to the Xlib procedures XCreatePixmap and XFreePixmap, except that they have extra code to manage X resource
       identifiers so that identifiers for deleted pixmaps can be reused in the future.  It is important for Tk applications to use  these  proce-
       dures rather than XCreatePixmap and XFreePixmap;  otherwise long-running applications may run out of resource identifiers.

       Tk_GetPixmap  creates  a  pixmap  suitable for drawing in d, with dimensions given by width, height, and depth, and returns its identifier.
       Tk_FreePixmap destroys the pixmap given by pixmap and makes its resource identifier available for reuse.

KEYWORDS
