xcbcreateglyphcursor(3) XCB Requests xcbcreateglyphcursor(3)

NAME
       xcbcreateglyphcursor - create cursor

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

   Request function
       xcbvoidcookiet xcbcreateglyphcursor(xcbconnectiont *conn,
              xcbcursort cid, xcbfontt sourcefont, xcbfontt maskfont,
              uint16t sourcechar, uint16t maskchar, uint16t forered,
              uint16t foregreen, uint16t foreblue, uint16t backred,
              uint16t backgreen, uint16t backblue);

REQUEST ARGUMENTS
       conn      The XCB connection to X11.

       cid       The ID with which you will refer to the cursor, created by
                 xcbgenerateid.

       sourcefont
                 In which font to look for the cursor glyph.

       maskfont In which font to look for the mask glyph.

       sourcechar
                 The glyph of sourcefont to use.

       maskchar The glyph of maskfont to use as a mask: Pixels which are set
                 to 1 define which source pixels are displayed. All pixels
                 which are set to 0 are not displayed.

       forered  The red value of the foreground color.

       foregreen
                 The green value of the foreground color.

       foreblue The blue value of the foreground color.

       backred  The red value of the background color.

       backgreen
                 The green value of the background color.

       backblue The blue value of the background color.

DESCRIPTION
       Creates a cursor from a font glyph. X provides a set of standard cursor
       shapes in a special font named cursor. Applications are encouraged to
       use this interface for their cursors because the font can be customized
       for the individual display type.

       All pixels which are set to 1 in the source will use the foreground
       color (as specified by forered, foregreen and foreblue). All pixels
       set to 0 will use the background color (as specified by backred,
       backgreen and backblue).

RETURN VALUE
       Returns an xcbvoidcookiet. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the
       event loop.

       If you want to handle errors directly with xcbrequestcheck instead,
       use xcbcreateglyphcursorchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

ERRORS
       xcballocerrort
                 The X server could not allocate the requested resources (no
                 memory?).

       xcbfonterrort
                 The specified sourcefont or maskfont does not exist.

       xcbvalueerrort
                 Either sourcechar or maskchar are not defined in
                 sourcefont or maskfont, respectively.
