.SH DESCRIPTION

The

.ZN XReadBitmapFile

function reads in a file containing a bitmap.

The file is parsed in the encoding of the current locale.

The ability to read other than the standard format 

is implementation-dependent.

If the file cannot be opened, 

.ZN XReadBitmapFile 

returns 

.ZN BitmapOpenFailed .  

If the file can be opened but does not contain valid bitmap data, 

it returns 

.ZN BitmapFileInvalid .  

If insufficient working storage is allocated,

it returns

.ZN BitmapNoMemory .  

If the file is readable and valid,

it returns 

.ZN BitmapSuccess .

.LP

.ZN XReadBitmapFile 

returns the bitmap's height and width, as read

from the file, to width_return and height_return.

It then creates a pixmap of the appropriate size, 

reads the bitmap data from the file into the pixmap,

and assigns the pixmap to the caller's variable bitmap.  

The caller must free the bitmap using 

.ZN XFreePixmap 

when finished.

If \fIname\fP_x_hot and \fIname\fP_y_hot exist,

.ZN XReadBitmapFile 

returns them to x_hot_return and y_hot_return;

otherwise, it returns \-1,\-1.

.LP

.ZN XReadBitmapFile

can generate

.ZN BadAlloc

and

.ZN BadDrawable

errors.

.LP

The

.ZN XReadBitmapFileData

function reads in a file containing a bitmap, in the same manner as

.ZN XReadBitmapFile ,

but returns the data directly rather than creating a pixmap in the server.

The bitmap data is returned in data_return; the client must free this

storage when finished with it by calling

.ZN XFree .

The status and other return values are the same as for

.ZN XReadBitmapFile .

.LP

The

.ZN XWriteBitmapFile

function writes a bitmap out to a file in the X Version 11 format.

The name used in the output file is derived from the file name

by deleting the directory prefix.

The file is written in the encoding of the current locale.

If the file cannot be opened for writing, 

it returns 

.ZN BitmapOpenFailed .  

If insufficient memory is allocated,

.ZN XWriteBitmapFile

returns

.ZN BitmapNoMemory ;

otherwise, on no error,

it returns

.ZN BitmapSuccess .

If x_hot and y_hot are not \-1, \-1, 

.ZN XWriteBitmapFile

writes them out as the hotspot coordinates for the bitmap.

.LP

.ZN XWriteBitmapFile

can generate

.ZN BadDrawable

and

.ZN BadMatch

errors.

.LP

The

.ZN XCreatePixmapFromBitmapData

function creates a pixmap of the given depth and then does a bitmap-format

.ZN XPutImage

of the data into it.

The depth must be supported by the screen of the specified drawable,

or a

.ZN BadMatch

error results.

.LP

.ZN XCreatePixmapFromBitmapData

can generate

.ZN BadAlloc

and

.ZN BadMatch

errors.

.LP

The

.ZN XCreateBitmapFromData

function allows you to include in your C program (using

.ZN #include )

a bitmap file that was written out by

.ZN XWriteBitmapFile

(X version 11 format only) without reading in the bitmap file.

The following example creates a gray bitmap:

.LP

.Ds 0

\&#include "gray.bitmap"

.sp 6p

Pixmap bitmap;

bitmap = XCreateBitmapFromData(display, window, gray_bits, gray_width, gray_height);

.De

.LP

If insufficient working storage was allocated,

.ZN XCreateBitmapFromData

returns

.ZN None .

It is your responsibility to free the

bitmap using

.ZN XFreePixmap

when finished.

.LP

.ZN XCreateBitmapFromData

can generate a

.ZN BadAlloc

error.

.SH DIAGNOSTICS

.TP 1i

.ZN BadAlloc

The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.

.TP 1i

.ZN BadDrawable

A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.

.TP 1i

.ZN BadMatch

An

.ZN InputOnly

window is used as a Drawable.
