XStoreColors, XStoreColor, XStoreNamedColor - set colors
SYNOPSIS
XStoreColors(display, colormap, color, ncolors)
Display *display;
Colormap colormap;
XColor color[];
int ncolors;
XStoreColor(display, colormap, color)
Display *display;
Colormap colormap;
XColor *color;
XStoreNamedColor(display, colormap, color, pixel, flags)
Display *display;
Colormap colormap;
char *color;
unsigned long pixel;
int flags;
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the pixel and RGB values or the color name string (for exam‐
ple, red). Specifies an array of color definition structures to be
stored. Specifies the colormap. Specifies the connection to the X
server. Specifies which red, green, and blue components are set.
Specifies the number of XColor structures in the color definition
array. Specifies the entry in the colormap.
DESCRIPTION
The XStoreColors function changes the colormap entries of the pixel
values specified in the pixel members of the XColor structures. You
specify which color components are to be changed by setting DoRed,
DoGreen, and/or DoBlue in the flags member of the XColor structures. If
the colormap is an installed map for its screen, the changes are visi‐
ble immediately. XStoreColors changes the specified pixels if they are
allocated writable in the colormap by any client, even if one or more
pixels generates an error. If a specified pixel is not a valid index
into the colormap, a BadValue error results. If a specified pixel
either 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.
XStoreColors can generate BadAccess, BadColor, and BadValue errors.
The XStoreColor function changes the colormap entry of the pixel value
specified in the pixel member of the XColor structure. You specified
this value in the pixel member of the XColor structure. This pixel
value must be a read/write cell and a valid index into the colormap. If
a specified pixel is not a valid index into the colormap, a BadValue
error results. XStoreColor also changes the red, green, and/or blue
color components. You specify which color components are to be changed
by setting DoRed, DoGreen, and/or DoBlue in the flags member of the
XColor structure. If the colormap is an installed map for its screen,
the changes are visible immediately.
XStoreColor can generate BadAccess, BadColor, and BadValue errors.
The XStoreNamedColor function looks up the named color with respect to
the screen associated with the colormap and stores the result in the
specified colormap. The pixel argument determines the entry in the col‐
ormap. The flags argument determines which of the red, green, and blue
components are set. You can set this member to the bitwise inclusive OR
of the bits DoRed, DoGreen, and DoBlue. If the color name is not in the
Host Portable Character Encoding, the result is implementation depen‐
dent. Use of uppercase or lowercase does not matter. If the specified
pixel is not a valid index into the colormap, a BadValue error results.
If the specified pixel either is unallocated or is allocated read-only,
a BadAccess error results.
XStoreNamedColor can generate BadAccess, BadColor, BadName, and Bad‐
Value errors.
DIAGNOSTICS
A client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not already
allocate. A client attempted to store into a read-only color map
entry. A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Col‐
ormap. A font or color of the specified name does not exist. 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.
