XpmCreateData(3) libXpm functions XpmCreateData(3) NAME XpmCreateData - create an Data structure SYNOPSIS int XpmCreateDataFromImage(Display *display, char ***data_return, XImage *image, XImage *shapeimage, XpmAttributes *attributes); int XpmCreateDataFromPixmap(Display *display, char ***data_return, Pixmap pixmap, Pixmap shapemask, XpmAttributes *attributes); int XpmCreateDataFromXpmImage(char ***data_return, XpmImage *image, XpmInfo *info); ARGUMENTS display Specifies the connection to the X server. data_return Returns the data which is created. pixmap Specifies the pixmap. shapemask Specifies the shape mask pixmap. attributes Specifies the location of a structure containing information (or NULL). info Specifies the location of a structure to get information. image Specifies the image DESCRIPTION XpmCreateDataFromImage In some cases, one may want to create an XPM data from an XImage, to do so use XpmCreateDataFromImage(). The XpmCreateDataFromImage() function exactly works as XpmWriteFileFromImage(3) does and returns the same way. It just writes to a single block malloced data instead of to a file. It is the callers responsibility to free the data, using Xpm- Free(3) when finished. XpmCreateDataFromPixmap XpmCreateDataFromPixmap() creates an XPM data from a Pixmap. The Xpm- CreateDataFromPixmap() function uses XGetImage(3) to get from the given pixmaps the related X images which are passed to XpmCreateDataFromIm- age(). Then it destroys the created images using XDestroyImage(3). XpmCreateDataFromPixmap() returns the same errors as XpmCreate- DataFromImage(). XpmCreateDataFromXpmImage XpmCreateDataFromXpmImage() creates an XPM data from an XpmImage. The XpmCreateDataFromXpmImage() function writes out the given image to a single block malloced data in XPM format. If insufficient working storage is allocated, it returns XpmNoMemory, and returns XpmSuccess on success. If the passed XpmInfo structure pointer is not NULL, XpmCre- ateDataFromXpmImage() looks for the following attributes: XpmExten- sions, and XpmHotspot, and writes the related information out as well. It is the callers responsibility to free the data, using XpmFree(3) when finished. SEE ALSO XpmFree(3), XpmWriteFileFromImage(3) X Version 11 libXpm 3.5.16 XpmCreateData(3)
