NAME
XpmCreateXpmImage - create an Xpm image
SYNOPSIS
int XpmCreateXpmImageFromData(char **data, XpmImage *image,
XpmInfo *info);
int XpmCreateXpmImageFromBuffer(char *buffer, XpmImage *image,
XpmInfo *info);
int XpmCreateXpmImageFromImage(Display *display,
XImage *image, XImage *shapeimage,
XpmImage *xpmimage, XpmAttributes *attributes);
int XpmCreateXpmImageFromPixmap(Display *display,
Pixmap *pixmap, Pixmap *shapemask,
XpmImage *xpmimage, XpmAttributes *attributes);
ARGUMENTS
data Specifies the location of the data.
image Specifies the image structure location.
info Specifies the location of an XpmInfo structure to get and store
information (or NULL).
display
Specifies the connection to the X server.
image Specifies the X image used as the source.
shapeimage
Specifies the shape mask image, if any.
xpmimage
Specifies the XPM image which is created.
attributes
Specifies the location of a structure containing information (or
NULL).
DESCRIPTION
XpmCreateXpmImageFromBuffer
To create an XpmImage from an XPM buffer, use
XpmCreateXpmImageFromBuffer(). The XpmCreateXpmImageFromBuffer()
function reads the given buffer to fill in the given XpmImage
structure. If the buffer does not contain valid XPM data, it returns
XpmFileInvalid. If insufficient working storage is allocated, it
returns XpmNoMemory. On success it returns XpmSuccess. If the passed
XpmInfo structure pointer is not NULL, XpmCreateXpmImageFromBuffer()
looks for the following attributes: XpmReturnComments and
XpmReturnExtensions, and sets possibly the XpmHotspot attribute when
returning. As specified in the table (page 28), if the data related to
the attributes XpmReturnComments and XpmReturnExtensions cannot be
XpmCreateXpmImageFromData
To create an XpmImage from an XPM data, use
XpmCreateXpmImageFromData(). XpmCreateXpmImageFromData() fills in the
given XpmImage structure from the given data. If the data does not
contain valid XPM data, it returns XpmFileInvalid. If insufficient
working storage is allocated, it returns XpmNoMemory. On success it
returns XpmSuccess. If the passed XpmInfo structure pointer is not
NULL, XpmCreateXpmImageFromData() looks for the following attributes:
XpmReturnExtensions, and sets possibly the XpmHotspot attribute when
returning. As specified in the table (page 28), if the data related to
the attribute XpmReturnExtensions cannot be returned as requested
because of insufficient memory storage, XpmCreateXpmImageFromData()
will change the valuemask to mention this and will try to continue. So
the caller should check on this before accessing requested data.
Note: The valuemask of the passed XpmInfo structure must be set to some
valid value, at least zero, otherwise unpredictable errors can occur.
XpmCreateXpmImageFromImage
To create an XpmImage from an XImage, use XpmCreateXpmImageFromImage().
From the given X images and XpmAttributes if not NULL,
XpmCreateXpmImageFromImage() creates an XpmImage following the same
mechanism as XpmWriteFileFromImage(3).
XpmCreateXpmImageFromPixmap
To create an XpmImage from a Pixmap, use XpmCreateXpmImageFromPixmap().
From the given pixmaps and XpmAttributes if not NULL,
XpmCreateXpmImageFromPixmap() gets the related XImages by calling
XGetImage, then it gives them to XpmCreateXpmImageFromImage() to create
an XpmImage which is returned to xpmimage. Finally it destroys the
created X images using XDestroyImage(3).
