Tk_GetPixmap(3) Tk Library Procedures Tk_GetPixmap(3)
NAME
Tk_GetPixmap, Tk_FreePixmap - allocate and free pixmaps
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Pixmap
Tk_GetPixmap(display, d, width, height, depth)
Tk_FreePixmap(display, pixmap)
ARGUMENTS
X display for the pixmap. Pixmap or window where the new pixmap will
be used for drawing. Width of pixmap. Height of pixmap. Number of
bits per pixel in pixmap. Pixmap to destroy.
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-run-
ning applications may run out of resource identifiers.
Tk_GetPixmap creates a pixmap suitable for drawing in d, with dimen-
sions 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
