XpmCreatePixmap(3) libXpm functions XpmCreatePixmap(3)
NAME
XpmCreatePixmap - create a pixmap
SYNOPSIS
int XpmCreatePixmapFromData(Display *display, Drawable d, char **data,
Pixmap *pixmap_return, Pixmap *shapemask_return, XpmAttributes
*attributes);
int XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer(Display *display, Drawable d, char *buffer,
Pixmap *pixmap_return, Pixmap *shapemask_return, XpmAttributes
*attributes);
int XpmCreatePixmapFromXpmImage(Display *display, Drawable d, XpmImage
*image, Pixmap *pixmap_return, Pixmap *shapemask_return,
XpmAttributes *attributes);
ARGUMENTS
display
Specifies the connection to the X server.
d Specifies which screen the pixmap is created on.
buffer Specifies the location of the buffer.
pixmap_return
Returns the pixmap which is created if the color None.
shapemask_return
Returns the shape mask pixmap which is created if the color None
is used.
attributes
Specifies the location of a structure to get and store
information.
image Specifies the XpmImage.
DESCRIPTION
XpmCreatePixmapFromData
To create a Pixmap from an XPM data, use XpmCreatePixmapFromData. The
XpmCreatePixmapFromData function creates X images using
XpmCreateImageFromData() and thus returns the same errors. In addition on
success it then creates the related pixmaps, using XPutImage, which are
returned to pixmap_return and shapemask_return if not NULL, and finally
destroys the created images using XDestroyImage. Do not forget to free
the returned pixmaps, the colors, and possibly the data returned into the
XpmAttributes structure when done.
XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer
To create a Pixmap from an XPM buffer, use XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer.
The XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer function works the same way as
XpmReadFileToPixmap (), it just calls XpmCreateImageFromBuffer instead of
XpmReadFileToImage.
XpmCreatePixmapFromXpmImage
XpmCreatePixmapFromXpmImage creates X images calling
XpmCreateImageFromXpmImage () with the given XpmImage and XpmAttributes,
then it creates the related pixmaps which are returned topixmap_return
and shapemask_return using XPutImage. Finally it destroys the X images
with XDestroyImage. When finished the caller must free the pixmaps using
XFreePixmap, the colors using XFreeColors or the application equivalent
function when the standard Xlib functions are not used, and possibly the
data returned into the XpmAttributes using XpmFreeAttributes.
