XCreatePixmap(3X11)	  XLIB FUNCTIONS      XCreatePixmap(3X11)


NAME
       XCreatePixmap, XFreePixmap - create or destroy pixmaps

SYNTAX
       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
       d	 Specifies which screen the pixmap is created on.

       depth	 Specifies the depth of the pixmap.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       pixmap	 Specifies the pixmap.

       width
       height	 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 win
       dow to the drawable argument.  The width and height argu
       ments 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 undefined.

       XCreatePixmap can generate BadAlloc, BadDrawable, and Bad_
       Value 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
       BadAlloc	 The server failed to allocate the requested
		 resource or server memory.

       BadDrawable
		 A value for a Drawable argument does not name a
		 defined Window or Pixmap.

       BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a
		 defined Pixmap.

       BadValue	 Some numeric value falls outside the range of
		 values accepted by the request.  Unless a spe
		 cific 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.
