NAME
XPutImage, XGetImage, XGetSubImage - transfer images SYNTAX int XPutImage(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc, XImage *image, int srcx, int srcy, int destx, int desty, unsigned int width, unsigned int height); XImage *XGetImage(Display *display, Drawable d, int x, int y, unsigned int width, unsigned int height, unsigned long planemask, int format); XImage *XGetSubImage(Display *display, Drawable d, int x, int y, unsigned int width, unsigned int height, unsigned long planemask, int format, XImage *destimage, int destx, desty); ARGUMENTS d Specifies the drawable. destimage Specifies the destination image. destx desty Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the drawable and are the coordinates of the subim‐ age or which are relative to the origin of the destination
rectangle, specify its upper-left corner, and determine where the subimage is placed in the destination image. display Specifies the connection to the X server. format Specifies the format for the image. You can pass XYPixmap or ZPixmap. gc Specifies the GC. image Specifies the image you want combined with the rectangle. planemask Specifies the plane mask. srcx Specifies the offset in X from the left edge of the image defined by the XImage structure. srcy Specifies the offset in Y from the top edge of the image defined by the XImage structure. width height Specify the width and height of the subimage, which define the dimensions of the rectangle. x y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the
origin of the drawable and define the upper-left corner of the rectangle. DESCRIPTION The XPutImage function combines an image with a rectangle of the speci‐ fied drawable. The section of the image defined by the srcx, srcy, width, and height arguments is drawn on the specified part of the draw‐ able. If XYBitmap format is used, the depth of the image must be one, or a BadMatch error results. The foreground pixel in the GC defines the source for the one bits in the image, and the background pixel defines the source for the zero bits. For XYPixmap and ZPixmap, the depth of the image must match the depth of the drawable, or a BadMatch error results. If the characteristics of the image (for example, byteorder and bit‐ mapunit) differ from what the server requires, XPutImage automatically makes the appropriate conversions.
This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, subwin‐
dow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. It also uses
these GC mode-dependent components: foreground and background. XPutImage can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue errors. The XGetImage function returns a pointer to an XImage structure. This structure provides you with the contents of the specified rectangle of the drawable in the format you specify. If the format argument is XYP‐ ixmap, the image contains only the bit planes you passed to the planemask argument. If the planemask argument only requests a subset of the planes of the display, the depth of the returned image will be the number of planes requested. If the format argument is ZPixmap, XGetImage returns as zero the bits in all planes not specified in the planemask argument. The function performs no range checking on the values in planemask and ignores extraneous bits. XGetImage returns the depth of the image to the depth member of the XImage structure. The depth of the image is as specified when the drawable was created, except when getting a subset of the planes in XYPixmap format, when the depth is given by the number of bits set to 1 in planemask. If the drawable is a pixmap, the given rectangle must be wholly con‐ tained within the pixmap, or a BadMatch error results. If the drawable is a window, the window must be viewable, and it must be the case that if there were no inferiors or overlapping windows, the specified rec‐ tangle of the window would be fully visible on the screen and wholly contained within the outside edges of the window, or a BadMatch error results. Note that the borders of the window can be included and read
with this request. If the window has backing-store, the backing-store contents are returned for regions of the window that are obscured by
noninferior windows. If the window does not have backing-store, the returned contents of such obscured regions are undefined. The returned contents of visible regions of inferiors of a different depth than the specified window's depth are also undefined. The pointer cursor image is not included in the returned contents. If a problem occurs, XGetIm‐ age returns NULL. XGetImage can generate BadDrawable, BadMatch, and BadValue errors. The XGetSubImage function updates destimage with the specified subim‐ age in the same manner as XGetImage. If the format argument is XYP‐ ixmap, the image contains only the bit planes you passed to the planemask argument. If the format argument is ZPixmap, XGetSubImage returns as zero the bits in all planes not specified in the planemask argument. The function performs no range checking on the values in planemask and ignores extraneous bits. As a convenience, XGetSubImage returns a pointer to the same XImage structure specified by destimage. The depth of the destination XImage structure must be the same as that of the drawable. If the specified subimage does not fit at the speci‐ fied location on the destination image, the right and bottom edges are clipped. If the drawable is a pixmap, the given rectangle must be wholly contained within the pixmap, or a BadMatch error results. If the drawable is a window, the window must be viewable, and it must be the case that if there were no inferiors or overlapping windows, the specified rectangle of the window would be fully visible on the screen and wholly contained within the outside edges of the window, or a Bad‐
Match error results. If the window has backing-store, then the back‐
ing-store contents are returned for regions of the window that are
obscured by noninferior windows. If the window does not have backing- store, the returned contents of such obscured regions are undefined. The returned contents of visible regions of inferiors of a different depth than the specified window's depth are also undefined. If a prob‐ lem occurs, XGetSubImage returns NULL. XGetSubImage can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue errors. DIAGNOSTICS BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Win‐ dow or Pixmap. BadGC A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GCon‐ text. BadMatch An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable. BadMatch Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but fails to match in some other way required by the request. BadValue 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. SEE ALSO
