NAME
       xosd_create - Create a new XOSD object

SYNOPSIS
       #include <xosd.h>

       xosd *xosd_create (int number_lines);

DESCRIPTION
       xosd_init creates a new xosd window that can be used to display textual
       or numerical data on a X11 display in a unmanaged, shaped  window  that
       appears	to  be	transparent.  It  provides a similar effect to the on-
       screen display of many televisions and video recorders.

ARGUMENTS
       number_lines
	      The maximum number of lines of text that the window can display.
	      This value cannot be changed.

RETURN VALUE
       On  success  a pointer to a new xosd object is returned, otherwise NULL
       is returned.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY
	      The environment variable that determines which X11  display  the
	      XOSD window appears.

       char *xosd_error
	      A string to a text string describing the error.

HISTORY
       The  xosd_create function first appeared in version 2.0 of the XOSD li‐
       brary, replacing the now depricated xosd_init function.
