XOSD_CREATE(3) XOSD_CREATE(3) NAME
xosd_create - Create a new XOSD object SYNOPSIS
#include <xosd.h> xosd *xosd_create (int number_lines); DESCRIPTION
xosd_init creates a new xosd window that can be used to display textual or numerical data on a X11 display in a unmanaged, shaped window that appears to be transparent. It provides a similar effect to the on-screen display of many televisions and video recorders. ARGUMENTS

On success a pointer to a new xosd object is returned, otherwise NULL is returned. ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY The environment variable that determines which X11 display the XOSD window appears. char *xosd_error A string to a text string describing the error. HISTORY
The xosd_create function first appeared in version 2.0 of the XOSD library, replacing the now depricated xosd_init function. AUTHORS
The XOSD library was originally written by Andre Renaud, and is currenly maintained by Tim Wright. This document was written by Michael Ja- sonSmith. BUGS
