XcmsStoreColor(3)               XLIB FUNCTIONS               XcmsStoreColor(3)




NAME

       XcmsStoreColor, XcmsStoreColors - set colors


SYNTAX

       Status  XcmsStoreColor(Display  *display,  Colormap colormap, XcmsColor
              *color);

       Status XcmsStoreColors(Display *display, Colormap  colormap,  XcmsColor
              *colors, unsigned ncolors, Bool *compression_flags_return);


ARGUMENTS

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       color     Specifies  the  color  cell  and  the color to store.  Values
                 specified in this XcmsColor  structure  remain  unchanged  on
                 return.

       colors    Specifies  the  color specification array of XcmsColor struc-
                 tures, each specifying a color cell and the color to store in
                 that  cell.   Values  specified in the array remain unchanged
                 upon return.

       colormap  Specifies the colormap.

       compression_flags_return
                 Returns an array of  Boolean  values  indicating  compression
                 status.   If  a non-NULL pointer is supplied, each element of
                 the array is set to True if the corresponding color was  com-
                 pressed  and  False  otherwise.  Pass NULL if the compression
                 status is not useful.

       ncolors   Specifies the number of XcmsColor structures  in  the  color-
                 specification array.


DESCRIPTION

       The  XcmsStoreColor  function converts the color specified in the Xcms-
       Color structure into RGB values.  It then uses this  RGB  specification
       in  an XColor structure, whose three flags (DoRed, DoGreen, and DoBlue)
       are set, in a call to XStoreColor to change the color cell specified by
       the  pixel member of the XcmsColor structure.  This pixel value must be
       a valid index for the specified colormap, and the color cell  specified
       by  the  pixel  value must be a read/write cell.  If the pixel value is
       not a valid index, a BadValue error results.   If  the  color  cell  is
       unallocated  or  is allocated read-only, a BadAccess error results.  If
       the colormap is an installed map for its screen, the changes are  visi-
       ble immediately.

       Note  that  XStoreColor  has no return value; therefore, an XcmsSuccess
       return value from this function indicates that the  conversion  to  RGB
       succeeded  and  the call to XStoreColor was made.  To obtain the actual
       color stored, use XcmsQueryColor.  Because  of  the  screen's  hardware
       limitations  or gamut compression, the color stored in the colormap may
       not be identical to the color specified.

       XcmsStoreColor can generate BadAccess, BadColor, and BadValue errors.

       The XcmsStoreColors function converts the colors specified in the array
       of  XcmsColor structures into RGB values and then uses these RGB speci-
       fications in XColor structures, whose three flags (DoRed, DoGreen,  and
       DoBlue)  are  set,  in a call to XStoreColors to change the color cells
       specified by the pixel member of the corresponding XcmsColor structure.
       Each  pixel value must be a valid index for the specified colormap, and
       the color cell specified by each pixel value must be a read/write cell.
       If  a pixel value is not a valid index, a BadValue error results.  If a
       color cell is unallocated or is allocated read-only, a BadAccess  error
       results.   If  more  than  one  pixel  is  in  error, the one that gets
       reported is arbitrary.  If the colormap is an  installed  map  for  its
       screen, the changes are visible immediately.

       Note  that  XStoreColors has no return value; therefore, an XcmsSuccess
       return value from this function indicates that conversions to RGB  suc-
       ceeded  and  the  call  to XStoreColors was made.  To obtain the actual
       colors stored, use XcmsQueryColors.  Because of the  screen's  hardware
       limitations or gamut compression, the colors stored in the colormap may
       not be identical to the colors specified.


       XcmsStoreColors can generate BadAccess, BadColor, and BadValue  errors.


DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAccess A  client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not
                 already allocate.

       BadAccess A client attempted to store into a read-only color map entry.

       BadColor  A  value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Col-
                 ormap.

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