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 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 draw-
  able, 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 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

  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 specific range is specified for an argu-
	    ment, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted.
	    Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this
	    error.
