Constructor Detail
Opens a connection to the X server that controls a display.
Arguments
- name Specifies the hardware display name, which determines the display and communications domain to be used.
On a
POSIX
-conformant system, if thename
is nil, it defaults to the value of theDISPLAY
environment variable.
Description
The encoding and interpretation of the display name is implementation dependent.
Strings in the Host Portable Character Encoding
are supported;
support for other characters is implementation dependent. On POSIX
-conformant systems,
the display name or DISPLAY
environment variable can be a string in the format:
hostname:number.screen_number
- hostname Specifies the name of the host machine on which the display is physically attached. You follow the hostname with either a single colon (:) or a double colon (::).
- number Specifies the number of the display server on that host machine. You may optionally follow this display number with a period (.). A single CPU can have more than one display. Multiple displays are usually numbered starting with zero.
- screen_number Specifies the screen to be used on that server.
Multiple screens can be controlled by a single X server. The screen_number sets an internal
variable that can be accessed by using the
#default_screen
function. For example, the following would specify screen 1 of display 0 on the machine named dual-headed:
dual-headed:0.1
Class Method Detail
Returns the name of the display.
Arguments
- string Specifies the character string.
Description
The .display_name
function returns the name of the display that .new
would attempt to use. If a nil string is specified,
.display_name
looks in the environment for the display and returns the display name that .new
would attempt to use.
This makes it easier to report to the user precisely which display the program attempted to open when the initial connection attempt failed.

Instance Method Detail
Activates the screen saver.
See also
#set_screen_saver
, #force_screen_saver
, #reset_screen_saver
, #screen_saver
.
Allocates the ExtCodes
structure.
Description
For local Xlib extensions, the #add_extension
function allocates the
ExtCodes
structure, bumps the extension number count, and chains the
extension onto the extension list. (This permits extensions to Xlib without
requiring server extensions.)
See also
Arguments
- host Specifies the host that is to be added.
Description
The #add_host
function adds the specified host to the access control list
for the display. The server must be on the same host as the client issuing
the command, or a BadAccess error results.
#add_host
can generate BadAccess and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAccess A client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not already allocate.
- BadAccess A client attempted to store into a read-only color map entry.
- 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.

Adds the specified window to the client's save-set.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window that you want to add to the client's save-set.
Description
The #add_to_save_set
function adds the specified window to the client's save-set.
The specified window must have been created by some other client, or a BadMatch error results.
#add_to_save_set
can generate BadMatch and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Allocates a read-only colormap entry.
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap.
- screen_in Specifies and returns the values actually used in the colormap.
Description
The #alloc_color
function allocates a read-only colormap entry corresponding
to the closest RGB value supported by the hardware. #alloc_color
returns
the pixel value of the color closest to the specified RGB elements supported
by the hardware and returns the RGB value actually used. The corresponding
colormap cell is read-only. Multiple clients that request the same effective
RGB value can be assigned the same read-only entry, thus allowing entries
to be shared. When the last client deallocates a shared cell, it is deallocated.
#alloc_color
does not use or affect the flags in the Color
structure.
#alloc_color
can generate a BadColor error.

Allocates read/write color cells.
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap.
- contig Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether the planes must be contiguous.
- nplanes Specifies the number of plane masks that are to be returned in the plane masks array.
- npixels Specifies the number of pixel values that are to be returned in the pixels_return array.
Description
The #alloc_color_cells
function allocates read/write color cells.
The number of colors must be positive and the number of planes nonnegative,
or a BadValue error results. No mask will have any bits set to 1 in
common with any other mask or with any of the pixels. All of these are
allocated writable by the request. For GrayScale or PseudoColor,
each mask has exactly one bit set to 1. For DirectColor, each has exactly
three bits set to 1. If contig is true and if all masks are ORed together,
a single contiguous set of bits set to 1 will be formed for GrayScale or
PseudoColor and three contiguous sets of bits set to 1 (one within
each pixel subfield) for DirectColor. The RGB values of the allocated
entries are undefined.
#alloc_color_cells
can generate BadColor and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadColor A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.
- 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.

Allocates color planes.
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap.
- contig Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether the planes must be contiguous.
- ncolors Specifies the number of pixel values that are to be returned in the pixels_return array.
- nreds, ngreens, nblues Specify the number of red, green, and blue planes. The value you pass must be nonnegative.
Description
The specified ncolors must be positive; and nreds, ngreens, and nblues must be nonnegative,
or a BadValue error results. If ncolors colors, nreds reds, ngreens greens,
and nblues blues are requested, ncolors pixels are returned; and the masks have
nreds, ngreens, and nblues bits set to 1, respectively. If contig is true,
each mask will have a contiguous set of bits set to 1. No mask will have
any bits set to 1 in common with any other mask or with any of the pixels.
For DirectColor, each mask will lie within the corresponding pixel subfield.
By ORing together subsets of masks with each pixel value, ncolors * 2^(nreds+ngreens+nblues)
distinct pixel values can be produced. All of these are allocated by the request.
However, in the colormap, there are only ncolors * 2^nreds
independent red entries,
ncolors * 2^ngreens
independent green entries, and ncolors * 2^nblues
independent blue entries. This is true even for PseudoColor. When the
colormap entry of a pixel value is changed (using #store_colors
, #store_color
,
or #store_named_color
), the pixel is decomposed according to the masks,
and the corresponding independent entries are updated. #alloc_color_planes
returns
nonzero if it succeeded or zero if it failed.
#alloc_color_planes
can generate BadColor and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadColor A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.
- 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.

Looks up the named color with respect to the screen that is associated with the specified colormap.
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap.
- color_name Specifies the color name string (for example, red) whose color definition structure you want returned.
Return
- screen_def The closest RGB values provided by the hardware.
- exact_def The exact RGB values.
- status Nonzero if a cell is allocated; otherwise, it is zero.
Description
The #alloc_named_color
function looks up the named color with respect to
the screen that is associated with the specified colormap. It returns both
the exact database definition and the closest color supported by the screen.
The allocated color cell is read-only. The pixel value is returned in
screen_def. If the color name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
the result is implementation dependent. Use of uppercase or lowercase does not matter.
If screen_def and exact_def point to the same structure, the pixel field will
be set correctly but the color values are undefined. #alloc_named_color
returns
nonzero status if a cell is allocated; otherwise, it returns zero.
#alloc_named_color
can generate a BadColor error.

Releases some queued events if the client has caused a device to freeze.
Arguments
- event_mode Specifies the event mode. You can pass AsyncPointer, SyncPointer, AsyncKeyboard, SyncKeyboard, ReplayPointer, ReplayKeyboard, AsyncBoth, or SyncBoth.
- time Specifies the time. You can pass either a timestamp or CurrentTime.
Description
The #allow_events
function releases some queued events if the client has caused a device to freeze.
It has no effect if the specified time is earlier than the last-grab time of the
most recent active grab for the client or if the specified time is later
than the current X server time. Depending on the event_mode argument, the following occurs:
- AsyncPointer If the pointer is frozen by the client, pointer event processing continues as usual. If the pointer is frozen twice by the client on behalf of two separate grabs, AsyncPointer thaws for both. AsyncPointer has no effect if the pointer is not frozen by the client, but the pointer need not be grabbed by the client.
- SyncPointer If the pointer is frozen and actively grabbed by the client, pointer event processing continues as usual until the next ButtonPress or ButtonRelease event is reported to the client. At this time, the pointer again appears to freeze. However, if the reported event causes the pointer grab to be released, the pointer does not freeze. SyncPointer has no effect if the pointer is not frozen by the client or if the pointer is not grabbed by the client.
- ReplayPointer If the pointer is actively grabbed by the client and
is frozen as the result of an event having been sent to the client
(either from the activation of a
#grab_button
or from a previous#allow_events
with mode SyncPointer but not from a#grab_pointer
), the pointer grab is released and that event is completely reprocessed. This time, however, the function ignores any passive grabs at or above (towards the root of) the grab_window of the grab just released. The request has no effect if the pointer is not grabbed by the client or if the pointer is not frozen as the result of an event. - AsyncKeyboard If the keyboard is frozen by the client, keyboard event processing continues as usual. If the keyboard is frozen twice by the client on behalf of two separate grabs, AsyncKeyboard thaws for both. AsyncKeyboard has no effect if the keyboard is not frozen by the client, but the keyboard need not be grabbed by the client.
- SyncKeyboard If the keyboard is frozen and actively grabbed by the client, keyboard event processing continues as usual until the next KeyPress or KeyRelease event is reported to the client. At this time, the keyboard again appears to freeze. However, if the reported event causes the keyboard grab to be released, the keyboard does not freeze. SyncKeyboard has no effect if the keyboard is not frozen by the client or if the keyboard is not grabbed by the client.
- ReplayKeyboard If the keyboard is actively grabbed by the client and
is frozen as the result of an event having been sent to the client
(either from the activation of a
#grab_key
or from a previous#allow_events
with mode SyncKeyboard but not from a#grab_keyboard
), the keyboard grab is released and that event is completely reprocessed. This time, however, the function ignores any passive grabs at or above (towards the root of) the grab_window of the grab just released. The request has no effect if the keyboard is not grabbed by the client or if the keyboard is not frozen as the result of an event. - SyncBoth If both pointer and keyboard are frozen by the client, event processing for both devices continues as usual until the next ButtonPress, ButtonRelease, KeyPress, or KeyRelease event is reported to the client for a grabbed device (button event for the pointer, key event for the keyboard), at which time the devices again appear to freeze. However, if the reported event causes the grab to be released, then the devices do not freeze (but if the other device is still grabbed, then a subsequent event for it will still cause both devices to freeze). SyncBoth has no effect unless both pointer and keyboard are frozen by the client. If the pointer or keyboard is frozen twice by the client on behalf of two separate grabs, SyncBoth thaws for both (but a subsequent freeze for SyncBoth will only freeze each device once).
- AsyncBoth If the pointer and the keyboard are frozen by the client, event processing for both devices continues as usual. If a device is frozen twice by the client on behalf of two separate grabs, AsyncBoth thaws for both. AsyncBoth has no effect unless both pointer and keyboard are frozen by the client.
- AsyncPointer, SyncPointer, and ReplayPointer have no effect on the processing of keyboard events. AsyncKeyboard, SyncKeyboard, and ReplayKeyboard have no effect on the processing of pointer events. It is possible for both a pointer grab and a keyboard grab (by the same or different clients) to be active simultaneously. If a device is frozen on behalf of either grab, no event processing is performed for the device. It is possible for a single device to be frozen because of both grabs. In this case, the freeze must be released on behalf of both grabs before events can again be processed. If a device is frozen twice by a single client, then a single AllowEvents releases both.
#allow_events
can generate a BadValue error.
Diagnostics
- 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.
Returns the name associated with the specified atom.
Arguments
- atom Specifies the atom for the property name you want returned.
Description
If the data returned by the server is in the Latin Portable Character Encoding, then the returned string is in the Host Portable Character Encoding. Otherwise, the result is implementation dependent.

Rings the bell on the keyboard.
Arguments
- percent Specifies the volume for the bell, which can range from -100 to 100 inclusive.
Description
The #bell
function rings the bell on the keyboard, if possible.
The specified volume is relative to the base volume for the keyboard.
If the value for the percent argument is not in the range -100 to 100 inclusive,
a BadValue error results. The volume at which the bell rings when the percent argument is nonnegative is:
base - [(base * percent) / 100] + percent
The volume at which the bell rings when the percent argument is negative is:
base + [(base * percent) / 100]
To change the base volume of the bell, use #change_keyboard_control
.
#bell
can generate a BadValue error.
Diagnostics
- 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.
Within each bitmap unit, the left-most bit in the bitmap as displayed on the screen is either the least-significant or most-significant bit in the unit. This function can return LSBFirst or MSBFirst.
Each scanline must be padded to a multiple of bits returned by this function.
Returns the size of a bitmap's scanline unit in bits. The scanline is calculated in multiples of this value.
Returns the black pixel value for the specified screen.
Arguments
- screen_number Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.
Returns the number of entries in the default colormap.
Arguments
- screen_number Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.
Changes the specified dynamic parameters if the pointer is actively grabbed by the client.
Arguments
- event_mask Specifies which pointer events are reported to the client. The mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid pointer event mask bits.
- cursor Specifies the cursor that is to be displayed or None.
- time Specifies the time. You can pass either a timestamp or CurrentTime.
Description
The #change_active_pointer_grab
function changes the specified dynamic
parameters if the pointer is actively grabbed by the client and if the specified
time is no earlier than the last-pointer-grab time and no later than the
current X server time. This function has no effect on the passive parameters
of a #grab_button
. The interpretation of event_mask and cursor is the
same as described in #grab_pointer
.
#change_active_pointer_grab
can generate BadCursor and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadCursor A value for a Cursor argument does not name a defined Cursor.
- 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.

Changes the components specified by valuemask for the specified GC.
Arguments
- gc Specifies the GC.
- valuemask Specifies which components in the GC are to be changed using information in the specified values structure. This argument is the bitwise inclusive OR of zero or more of the valid GC component mask bits.
- values Specifies any values as specified by the valuemask.
Description
The #change_gc
function changes the components specified by valuemask for
the specified GC. The values argument contains the values to be set. The
values and restrictions are the same as for #create_gc
. Changing the
clip-mask overrides any previous #set_clip_rectangles
request on the context.
Changing the dash-offset or dash-list overrides any previous #set_dashes
request on the context. The order in which components are verified and
altered is server-dependent. If an error is generated, a subset of the components may have been altered.
#change_gc
can generate BadAlloc, BadFont, BadGC, BadMatch,
BadPixmap, and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadFont A value for a font argument does not name a defined font (or, in some cases, GContext).
- BadGC A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext.
- 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.
- BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined
Pixmap
. - 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.

Defines the symbols for the specified number of KeyCodes starting with first_keycode.
Arguments
- first_keycode Specifies the first KeyCode that is to be changed.
- keysyms_per_keycode Specifies the number of KeySyms per KeyCode.
- keysyms Specifies an array of KeySyms.
Description
The #change_keyboard_mapping
function defines the symbols for the
specified number of KeyCodes starting with first_keycode. The symbols for
KeyCodes outside this range remain unchanged. The number of elements in keysyms must be:
kysyms.size * keysyms_per_keycode
The specified first_keycode must be greater than or equal to min_keycode
returned by display_keycodes
, or a BadValue error results.
In addition, the following expression must be less than or equal to
max_keycode as returned by display_keycodes
, or a BadValue error results:
first_keycode + keysyms.size - 1
KeySym number N, counting from zero, for KeyCode K has the following index in keysyms, counting from zero:
(K - first_keycode) * keysyms_per_keycode + N
The specified keysyms_per_keycode can be chosen arbitrarily by the client
to be large enough to hold all desired symbols. A special KeySym value
of NoSymbol should be used to fill in unused elements for individual
KeyCodes. It is legal for NoSymbol to appear in nontrailing positions
of the effective list for a KeyCode. #change_keyboard_mapping
generates a MappingNotify event.
There is no requirement that the X server interpret this mapping. It is merely stored for reading and writing by clients.
#change_keyboard_mapping
can generate BadAlloc and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- 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.

Defines how the pointing device moves.
Arguments
- do_accel Specifies a Boolean value that controls whether the values for the accel_numerator or accel_denominator are used.
- do_threshold Specifies a Boolean value that controls whether the value for the threshold is used.
- accel_numerator Specifies the numerator for the acceleration multiplier.
- accel_denominator Specifies the denominator for the acceleration multiplier.
- threshold Specifies the acceleration threshold.
Description
The #change_pointer_control
function defines how the pointing device moves.
The acceleration, expressed as a fraction, is a multiplier for movement.
For example, specifying 3/1 means the pointer moves three times as fast as normal.
The fraction may be rounded arbitrarily by the X server. Acceleration only
takes effect if the pointer moves more than threshold pixels at once and only
applies to the amount beyond the value in the threshold argument. Setting
a value to \-1 restores the default. The values of the do_accel and do_threshold
arguments must be True for the pointer values to be set, or the parameters are unchanged.
Negative values (other than \-1) generate a BadValue error, as does a zero value for the accel_denominator argument.
#change_pointer_control
can generate a BadValue
error.
Diagnostics
- 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.

Alters the property for the specified window.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window whose property you want to change.
- property Specifies the property name.
- type Specifies the type of the property. The X server does not
interpret the type but simply passes it back to an application that later calls
#window_property
. - mode Specifies the mode of the operation. You can pass PropModeReplace, PropModePrepend, or PropModeAppend.
- data Specifies the property data.
Description
The #change_property
function alters the property for the specified window
and causes the X server to generate a PropertyNotify event on that window.
#change_property
performs the following:
- If mode is PropModeReplace,
#change_property
discards the previous property value and stores the new data. - If mode is PropModePrepend or PropModeAppend,
#change_property
inserts the specified data before the beginning of the existing data or onto the end of the existing data, respectively. The type and format must match the existing property value, or a BadMatch error results.
The lifetime of a property is not tied to the storing client. Properties remain until explicitly deleted, until the window is destroyed, or until the server resets. For a discussion of what happens when the connection to the X server is closed, see section "X Server Connection Close Operations". The maximum size of a property is server dependent and can vary dynamically depending on the amount of memory the server has available. (If there is insufficient space, a BadAlloc error results.)
#change_property
can generate BadAlloc, BadAtom, BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadAtom A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.
- 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.
- BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap.
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

.
Inserts or deletes the specified window from the client's save-set.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window that you want to add to or delete from the client's save-set.
- change_mode Specifies the mode. You can pass SetModeInsert or SetModeDelete.
Description
Depending on the specified mode, #change_save_set
either inserts or deletes
the specified window from the client's save-set. The specified window must
have been created by some other client, or a BadMatch error results.
#change_save_set
can generate BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
See also
Changes the specified window attributes
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
- valuemask Specifies which window attributes are defined in the
attributes argument. This mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid
attribute mask bits. If valuemask is zero, the attributes are ignored and
are not referenced. The values and restrictions are the same as for
#create_window
. - attributes Specifies the structure from which the values (as specified by the value mask) are to be taken. The value mask should have the appropriate bits set to indicate which attributes have been set in the structure (see "Window Attributes").
Description
Depending on the valuemask, the #change_window_attributes
function uses
the window attributes in the set_window_attributes
structure to change
the specified window attributes. Changing the background does not cause
the window contents to be changed. To repaint the window and its background,
use #clear_window
. Setting the border or changing the background such that
the border tile origin changes causes the border to be repainted. Changing
the background of a root window to None or ParentRelative restores
the default background pixmap. Changing the border of a root window to
CopyFromParent restores the default border pixmap. Changing the
win-gravity does not affect the current position of the window. Changing
the backing-store of an obscured window to WhenMapped or Always, or
changing the backing-planes, backing-pixel, or save-under of a mapped window
may have no immediate effect. Changing the colormap of a window (that is,
defining a new map, not changing the contents of the existing map) generates
a ColormapNotify event. Changing the colormap of a visible window may
have no immediate effect on the screen because the map may not be installed
(see #install_colormap
). Changing the cursor of a root window to None
restores the default cursor. Whenever possible, you are encouraged to share colormaps.
Multiple clients can select input on the same window. Their event masks are maintained separately. When an event is generated, it is reported to all interested clients. However, only one client at a time can select for SubstructureRedirectMask, ResizeRedirectMask and ButtonPressMask. If a client attempts to select any of these event masks and some other client has already selected one, a BadAccess error results. There is only one do-not-propagate-mask for a window, not one per client.
#change_window_attributes
can generate BadAccess, BadColor,
BadCursor, BadMatch, BadPixmap, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAccess A client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not already allocate.
- BadAccess A client attempted to store into a read-only color map entry.
- BadColor A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.
- BadCursor A value for a Cursor argument does not name a defined Cursor.
- 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.
- BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap.
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

When the predicate procedure finds a match, returns the matched event.
Arguments
- predicate Specifies the procedure that is to be called to determine if the next event in the queue matches what you want.
- arg Specifies the user-supplied argument that will be passed to the predicate procedure.
Description
When the predicate procedure finds a match, #check_if_event
returns the matched event.
(This event is removed from the queue.) If the predicate procedure finds no match,
#check_if_event
returns nil, and the output buffer will have been flushed.
All earlier events stored in the queue are not discarded.

Removes and returns the first event that matches the specified mask.
Arguments
- event_mask Specifies the event mask.
Description
The #check_mask_event
function searches the event queue and then any events
available on the server connection for the first event that matches the specified mask.
If it finds a match, #check_mask_event
removes that event, and returns it.
The other events stored in the queue are not discarded. If the event you
requested is not available, #check_mask_event
returns nil, and the output buffer will have been flushed.

Circulates children of the specified window in the specified direction.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
- direction Specifies the direction (up or down) that you want to circulate the window. You can pass RaiseLowest or LowerHighest.
Description
The #circulate_subwindows
function circulates children of the specified
window in the specified direction. If you specify RaiseLowest,
#circulate_subwindows
raises the lowest mapped child (if any) that is
occluded by another child to the top of the stack. If you specify
LowerHighest, #circulate_subwindows
lowers the highest mapped child
(if any) that occludes another child to the bottom of the stack.
Exposure processing is then performed on formerly obscured windows.
If some other client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the window,
the X server generates a CirculateRequest event, and no further
processing is performed. If a child is actually restacked,
the X server generates a CirculateNotify event.
#circulate_subwindows
can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Paints a rectangular area in the specified window.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window. and specify the upper-left corner of the rectangle
- x, y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the window.
- width, height Specify the width and height, which are the dimensions of the rectangle.
- exposures Specifies a Boolean value that indicates if Expose events are to be generated.
Description
The #clear_area
function paints a rectangular area in the specified
window according to the specified dimensions with the window's background
pixel or pixmap. The subwindow-mode effectively is ClipByChildren.
If width is zero, it is replaced with the current width of the window minus x.
If height is zero, it is replaced with the current height of the window minus y.
If the window has a defined background tile, the rectangle clipped by any children
is filled with this tile. If the window has background None,
the contents of the window are not changed. In either case, if exposures
is True, one or more Expose events are generated for regions of the
rectangle that are either visible or are being retained in a backing store.
If you specify a window whose class is InputOnly, a BadMatch error results.
#clear_area
can generate BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Clears the entire area in the specified window.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #clear_window
function clears the entire area in the specified window
and is equivalent to:
clear_area(w, 0, 0, 0, 0, false)
If the window has a defined background tile, the rectangle is tiled with a
plane-mask of all ones and copy
function. If the window has background
None, the contents of the window are not changed. If you specify a
window whose class is InputOnly, a BadMatch error results.
#clear_window
can generate BadMatch and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.

Closes the connection to the X server.
Description
#close
function closes the connection to the X server for the display
specified in the Display structure and destroys all windows, resource IDs
(X11::C::Window
, X11::C::Font
, X11::C::Pixmap
, X11::C::Colormap
,
X11::C::Cursor
, and GContext
), or other resources that the client has
created on this display, unless the close-down mode of the resource has
been changed (see #set_close_down_mode
). Therefore, these windows, resource IDs,
and other resources should never be referenced again or an error will be generated.
Before exiting, you should call #close
explicitly so that any pending
errors are reported as #close
performs a final #sync
operation.
Diagnostics
#close
can generate a BadGC error.

Reads the WM_COMMAND property from the specified window.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #command
function reads the WM_COMMAND property from the
specified window and returns a string list. If the WM_COMMAND property exists,
it is of type STRING and format 8. If sufficient memory can be allocated
to contain the string list, get_command
returns an array of strings.
Otherwise, it returns an empty array. If the data returned by the server is in the Latin Portable Character Encoding,
then the returned strings are in the Host Portable Character Encoding.
Otherwise, the result is implementation dependent.

Reconfigures a window's size, position, border, and stacking order.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window to be reconfigured.
- value_mask Specifies which values are to be set using information in the values structure. This mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid configure window values bits.
- values Specifies the
WindowChanges
structure.
Description
The #configure_window
function uses the values specified in the WindowChanges
structure to reconfigure a window's size, position, border, and stacking order.
Values not specified are taken from the existing geometry of the window.
If a sibling is specified without a stack_mode or if the window is not actually
a sibling, a BadMatch error results. Note that the computations for
BottomIf, TopIf, and Opposite are performed with respect to the
window's final geometry (as controlled by the other arguments passed to
#configure_window
), not its initial geometry. Any backing store contents
of the window, its inferiors, and other newly visible windows are either
discarded or changed to reflect the current screen contents (depending on the implementation).
#configure_window
can generate BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.

Returns a connection number for the specified display. On a POSIX-conformant system, this is the file descriptor of the connection.
Requests that the specified selection be converted to the specified target type.
Arguments
- selection Specifies the selection atom.
- target Specifies the target atom.
- property Specifies the property name. You also can pass None.
- requestor Specifies the requestor.
- time Specifies the time. You can pass either a timestamp or CurrentTime.
Description
#convert_selection
requests that the specified selection be converted to the specified target type:
- If the specified selection has an owner, the X server sends a
SelectionRequest
event to that owner. - If no owner for the specified selection exists, the X server generates a
SelectionNotify
event to the requestor with property None.
The arguments are passed on unchanged in either of the events. There are two predefined selection atoms: PRIMARY and SECONDARY.
convert_selection can generate BadAtom and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAtom A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Combines the specified rectangle of src with the specified rectangle of dest.
Arguments
- src, dest Specify the source and destination rectangles to be combined.
- gc Specifies the GC.
- src_x, src_y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the source rectangle and specify its upper-left corner.
- width, height Specify the width and height, which are the dimensions of both the source and destination rectangles.
- dest_x, dest_y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the destination rectangle and specify its upper-left corner
Description
The #copy_area
function combines the specified rectangle of src with the
specified rectangle of dest. The drawables must have the same root and depth, or a BadMatch error results.
If regions of the source rectangle are obscured and have not been retained
in backing store or if regions outside the boundaries of the source drawable
are specified, those regions are not copied. Instead, the following occurs
on all corresponding destination regions that are either visible or are retained
in backing store. If the destination is a window with a background other
than None, corresponding regions of the destination are tiled with that
background. Regardless of tiling or whether the destination is a window or a pixmap,
if graphics-exposures is true, then GraphicsExpose
events for all
corresponding destination regions are generated. If graphics-exposures is
true but no GraphicsExpose
events are generated, a NoExpose event
is generated. Note that by default graphics-exposures is true in new GCs.
This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, subwindow-mode, graphics-exposure, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.
#copy_area
can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and BadMatch errors.
Diagnostics
- BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
- BadGC A value for a
GContext
argument does not name a definedGContext
. - 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.

Creates a colormap
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap.
Description
The #copy_colormap_and_free
function creates a colormap of the same visual
type and for the same screen as the specified colormap and returns the new colormap ID.
It also moves all of the client's existing allocation from the specified colormap to the new
colormap with their color values intact and their read-only or writable characteristics
intact and frees those entries in the specified colormap. Color values
in other entries in the new colormap are undefined. If the specified
colormap was created by the client with alloc set to AllocAll,
the new colormap is also created with AllocAll, all color values
for all entries are copied from the specified colormap, and then all
entries in the specified colormap are freed. If the specified colormap
was not created by the client with AllocAll, the allocations to be
moved are all those pixels and planes that have been allocated by the
client using #alloc_color
, #alloc_named_color
, #alloc_color_cells
,
or #alloc_color_planes
and that have not been freed since they were allocated.
#copy_colormap_and_free
can generate BadAlloc and BadColor errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadColor A value for a
Colormap
argument does not name a definedColormap
.

Copies the specified components from the source GC to the destination GC
Arguments
- src Specifies the components of the source GC.
- valuemask Specifies which components in the GC are to be copied to the destination GC. This argument is the bitwise inclusive OR of zero or more of the valid GC component mask bits.
- dest Specifies the destination GC.
Description
The #copy_gc
function copies the specified components from the source GC
to the destination GC. The source and destination GCs must have the same
root and depth, or a BadMatch error results. The valuemask
specifies which component to copy, as for #create_gc
.
#copy_gc
can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadMatch errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadGC A value for a
GContext
argument does not name a definedGContext
. - 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.

Uses a single bit plane of the specified source rectangle combined with the specified GC to modify the specified rectangle of dest.
Arguments
- src, dest Specify the source and destination rectangles to be combined.
- gc Specifies the GC.
- src_x, src_y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the source rectangle and specify its upper-left corner.
- width, height Specify the width and height, which are the dimensions of both the source and destination rectangles.
- dest_x, dest_y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the destination rectangle and specify its upper-left corner.
- plane Specifies the bit plane. You must set exactly one bit to 1.
Description
The #copy_plane
function uses a single bit plane of the specified source
rectangle combined with the specified GC to modify the specified rectangle of dest.
The drawables must have the same root but need not have the same depth.
If the drawables do not have the same root, a BadMatch error results.
If plane does not have exactly one bit set to 1 and the value of plane is
not less than 2<sup>n</sup>, where n is the depth of src, a BadValue error results.
Effectively, #copy_plane
forms a pixmap of the same depth as the rectangle
of dest and with a size specified by the source region. It uses the
foreground/background pixels in the GC (foreground everywhere the bit plane
in src contains a bit set to 1, background everywhere the bit plane in src
contains a bit set to 0) and the equivalent of a CopyArea protocol request
is performed with all the same exposure semantics. This can also be thought
of as using the specified region of the source bit plane as a stipple with a
fill-style of FillOpaqueStippled for filling a rectangular area of the destination.
This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, foreground, background, subwindow-mode, graphics-exposures, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.
#copy_plane
can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
- BadGC A value for a
GContext
argument does not name a definedGContext
. - 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.

Creates a pixmap from data.
Arguments
- d Specifies the drawable that indicates the screen.
- data Specifies the location of the bitmap data.
- width, height Specify the width and height.
Description
The #create_bitmap_from_data
function allows you to include in your C program (using #include)
a bitmap file that was written out by #write_bitmap_file
(X version 11 format only)
without reading in the bitmap file. The following example creates a gray bitmap:
#include "gray.bitmap"
Pixmap bitmap;
bitmap = XCreateBitmapFromData(display, window, gray_bits, gray_width, gray_height);
If insufficient working storage was allocated, #create_bitmap_from_data
returns None.
It is your responsibility to free the bitmap using #free_pixmap
when finished.
#create_bitmap_from_data
can generate a BadAlloc and BadGC errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadGC A value for a
X11::C::GContext
argument does not name a definedX11::C::GContext
.

Creates a colormap
Arguments
- w Specifies the window on whose screen you want to create a colormap.
- visual Specifies a visual type supported on the screen. If the visual type is not one supported by the screen, a BadMatch error results.
- alloc Specifies the colormap entries to be allocated. You can pass AllocNone or AllocAll.
Description
The #create_colormap
function creates a colormap of the specified visual type
for the screen on which the specified window resides and returns the colormap ID#
associated with it. Note that the specified window is only used to determine the screen.
The initial values of the colormap entries are undefined for the visual classes
GrayScale, PseudoColor, and DirectColor. For StaticGray, StaticColor,
and TrueColor
, the entries have defined values, but those values are specific
to the visual and are not defined by X. For StaticGray, StaticColor, and TrueColor,
alloc must be AllocNone, or a BadMatch error results. For the other visual classes,
if alloc is AllocNone, the colormap initially has no allocated entries,
and clients can allocate them.
If alloc is **AllocAll the entire colormap is allocated writable.
The initial values of all allocated entries are undefined.
For GrayScale and PseudoColor, the effect is as if an #alloc_color_cells
call returned
all pixel values from zero to N - 1
, where N
is the colormap entries value in the specified visual.
For DirectColor, the effect is as if an #alloc_color_planes
call returned a
pixel value of zero and red_mask, green_mask, and blue_mask values containing the same
bits as the corresponding masks in the specified visual. However, in all cases,
none of these entries can be freed by using #free_colors
.
#create_colormap
can generate BadAlloc, BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- 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.
- BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap.
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Creates a cursor.
Arguments
- shape Specifies the shape of the cursor.
Description
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. The shape argument specifies which glyph of the standard fonts to use.
The hotspot comes from the information stored in the cursor font.
The initial colors of a cursor are a black foreground and a white background
(see #recolor_cursor
).
#create_font_cursor
can generate BadAlloc and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- 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.

Creates a graphics context.
Arguments
- d Specifies the drawable.
- valuemask Specifies which components in the GC are to be set using the information in the specified values structure. This argument is the bitwise inclusive OR of zero or more of the valid GC component mask bits.
- values Specifies any values as specified by the valuemask.
Description
The #create_gc
function creates a graphics context and returns a GC.
The GC can be used with any destination drawable having the same root and
depth as the specified drawable. Use with other drawables results in a BadMatch error.
#create_gc
can generate BadAlloc, BadDrawable, BadFont, BadMatch, BadPixmap, and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
- BadFont A value for a font argument does not name a defined font (or, in some cases, GContext).
- 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.
- BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap.

Creates a cursor.
Arguments
- source_font Specifies the font for the source glyph.
- mask_font Specifies the font for the mask glyph or None.
- source_char Specifies the character glyph for the source.
- mask_char- Specifies the glyph character for the mask.
- foreground_color Specifies the RGB values for the foreground of the source.
- background_color Specifies the RGB values for the background of the source.
Description
The #create_glyph_cursor
function is similar to #create_pixmap_cursor
except that the source and mask bitmaps are obtained from the specified font glyphs.
The source_char must be a defined glyph in source_font, or a BadValue error results.
If mask_font is given, mask_char must be a defined glyph in mask_font, or a BadValue error results.
The mask_font and character are optional. The origins of the source_char and mask_char
(if defined) glyphs are positioned coincidently and define the hotspot.
The source_char and mask_char need not have the same bounding box metrics,
and there is no restriction on the placement of the hotspot relative to the bounding boxes.
If no mask_char is given, all pixels of the source are displayed. You can
free the fonts immediately by calling free_font
if no further explicit references to them are to be made.
For 2-byte matrix fonts, the 16-bit value should be formed with the byte1 member in the most-significant byte and the byte2 member in the least-significant byte.
#create_glyph_cursor
can generate BadAlloc, BadFont, and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadFont A value for a font argument does not name a defined font (or, in some cases,
GContext
). - 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.

Creates an Image
.
Arguments
- visual Specifies the
Visual
structure. - depth Specifies the depth of the image.
- format Specifies the format for the image. You can pass XYBitmap, XYPixmap, or ZPixmap.
- offset Specifies the number of pixels to ignore at the beginning of the scanline.
- data Specifies the image data.
- width Specifies the width of the image, in pixels.
- height Specifies the height of the image, in pixels.
- bitmap_pad Specifies the quantum of a scanline (8, 16, or 32). In other words, the start of one scanline is separated in client memory from the start of the next scanline by an integer multiple of this many bits.
- bytes_per_line Specifies the number of bytes in the client image between the start of one scanline and the start of the next.
Description
The #create_image
function allocates the memory needed for an Image
structure
for the specified display but does not allocate space for the image itself.
Rather, it initializes the structure byte-order, bit-order, and bitmap-unit
values from the display and returns a pointer to the Image
structure.
The red, green, and blue mask values are defined for Z format images only
and are derived from the Visual
structure passed in. Other values also
are passed in. The offset permits the rapid displaying of the image without
requiring each scanline to be shifted into position. If you pass a zero
value in bytes_per_line, Xlib assumes that the scanlines are contiguous
in memory and calculates the value of bytes_per_line itself.
Note that when the image is created using #create_image
, get_image
, or
Image::sub_image

Creates a pixmap.
Arguments
- d Specifies which screen the pixmap is created on.
- width, height Specify the width and height, which define the dimensions of the pixmap.
- depth Specifies the depth of the pixmap.
Description
The #create_pixmap
function creates a pixmap of the width, height,
and depth you specified and returns a pixmap ID that identifies it.
It is valid to pass an InputOnly window to the drawable argument.
The width and height arguments must be nonzero, or a BadValue error results.
The depth argument must be one of the depths supported by the screen of the specified drawable, or a BadValue error results.
The server uses the specified drawable to determine on which screen to create the pixmap.
The pixmap can be used only on this screen and only with other drawables of the same depth (see #copy_plane
for an exception to this rule). The initial contents of the pixmap are undefined.
#create_pixmap
can generate BadAlloc, BadDrawable, and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
- 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.

Creates a cursor.
Arguments
- source Specifies the shape of the source cursor.
- mask Specifies the cursor's source bits to be displayed or None.
- foreground_color Specifies the RGB values for the foreground of the source.
- background_color Specifies the RGB values for the background of the source.
- x, y Specify the x and y coordinates, which indicate the hotspot relative to the source's origin.
Description
The #create_pixmap_cursor
function creates a cursor and returns the cursor ID associated with it.
The foreground and background RGB values must be specified using foreground_color and background_color,
even if the X server only has a StaticGray or GrayScale screen.
The foreground color is used for the pixels set to 1 in the source,
and the background color is used for the pixels set to 0. Both source and mask,
if specified, must have depth one (or a BadMatch error results) but can have any root.
The mask argument defines the shape of the cursor. The pixels set to 1 in
the mask define which source pixels are displayed, and the pixels set to 0
define which pixels are ignored. If no mask is given, all pixels of the
source are displayed. The mask, if present, must be the same size as the
pixmap defined by the source argument, or a BadMatch error results.
The hotspot must be a point within the source, or a BadMatch error results.
The components of the cursor can be transformed arbitrarily to meet display limitations. The pixmaps can be freed immediately if no further explicit references to them are to be made. Subsequent drawing in the source or mask pixmap has an undefined effect on the cursor. The X server might or might not make a copy of the pixmap.
#create_pixmap_cursor
can generate BadAlloc and BadPixmap errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap.

Description
The #create_pixmap_from_bitmap_data
function creates a pixmap of the given
depth and then does a bitmap-format #put_image
of the data into it.
The depth must be supported by the screen of the specified drawable, or a BadMatch error results.
#create_pixmap_from_bitmap_data
can generate BadAlloc, BadDrawable, BadGC, and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
- BadGC A value for a
X11::C::GContext
argument does not name a definedX11::C::GContext

Creates an unmapped subwindow.
Description
The `create_simple_window function creates an unmapped InputOutput subwindow
for a specified parent window, returns the window ID of the created window,
and causes the X server to generate a CreateNotify event.
The created window is placed on top in the stacking order with respect to siblings.
Any part of the window that extends outside its parent window is clipped.
The border_width
for an InputOnly window must be zero, or a BadMatch error results.
#create_simple_window
inherits its depth, class, and visual from its parent.
All other window attributes, except background and border, have their default values.
#create_simple_window
can generate BadAlloc, BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
For more information see: #create_window
.
Creates a window.
Arguments
- attributes Specifies the structure from which the values (as specified by the value mask) are to be taken. The value mask should have the appropriate bits set to indicate which attributes have been set in the structure.
- background Specifies the background pixel value of the window.
- border Specifies the border pixel value of the window.
- border_width Specifies the width of the created window's border in pixels.
- class Specifies the created window's class. You can pass
InputOutput
,InputOnly
, or CopyFromParent. A class of CopyFromParent means the class is taken from the parent. - depth Specifies the window's depth. A depth of CopyFromParent means the depth is taken from the parent.
- parent Specifies the parent window.
- valuemask Specifies which window attributes are defined in the attributes argument. This mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid attribute mask bits. If valuemask is zero, the attributes are ignored and are not referenced.
- visualSpecifies the visual type. A visual of CopyFromParent means the visual type is taken from the parent.
- width, height Specify the width and height, which are the created window's inside dimensions and do not include the created window's borders
- x, y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are the top-left outside corner of the window's borders and are relative to the inside of the parent window's borders.
Description
The #create_window
function creates an unmapped subwindow for a specified parent window,
returns the window ID of the created window, and causes the X server to generate a CreateNotify
event.
The created window is placed on top in the stacking order with respect to siblings.
The coordinate system has the X axis horizontal and the Y axis vertical with the origin [0, 0] at the upper-left corner. Coordinates are integral, in terms of pixels, and coincide with pixel centers. Each window and pixmap has its own coordinate system. For a window, the origin is inside the border at the inside, upper-left corner.
The border_width for an InputOnly window must be zero, or a BadMatch error results. For class InputOutput, the visual type and depth must be a combination supported for the screen, or a BadMatch error results. The depth need not be the same as the parent, but the parent must not be a window of class InputOnly, or a BadMatch error results. For an InputOnly window, the depth must be zero, and the visual must be one supported by the screen. If either condition is not met, a BadMatch error results. The parent window, however, may have any depth and class. If you specify any invalid window attribute for a window, a BadMatch error results.
The created window is not yet displayed (mapped) on the user's display.
To display the window, call #map_window
. The new window initially uses
the same cursor as its parent. A new cursor can be defined for the new window
by calling #define_cursor
. The window will not be visible on the screen
unless it and all of its ancestors are mapped and it is not obscured by any of its ancestors.
`create_window can generate BadAlloc, BadColor, BadCursor, BadMatch, BadPixmap, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.
- BadColor A value for a
Colormap
argument does not name a definedColormap
. - BadCursor A value for a
Cursor
argument does not name a definedCursor
. - BadMatch The values do not exist for an InputOnly window.
- 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.
- BadPixmap A value for a
Pixmap
argument does not name a definedPixmap
. - 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.
- BadWindow A value for a
Window
argument does not name a definedWindow
.

Returns the value of the resource prog.option
Arguments
- display Specifies the connection to the X server.
- program Specifies the program name for the Xlib defaults (usually argv[0] of the main program).
- option Specifies the option name.
Description
The #default
function returns the value of the resource prog.option,
where prog is the program argument with the directory prefix removed and option must be a single component.
Note that multilevel resources cannot be used with #default
.
The class "Program.Name" is always used for the resource lookup.
If the specified option name does not exist for this program, #default
returns empty String
.
If a database has been set with X.rm_set_database
, that database is used for the lookup.
Otherwise, a database is created and is set in the display (as if by calling X.rm_set_database
).
The database is created in the current locale. To create a database, #default
uses resources from the RESOURCE_MANAGER
property on the root window of screen zero. If no such property exists,
a resource file in the user's home directory is used. On a POSIX
-conformant system,
this file is "$HOME/.Xdefaults"
. After loading these defaults, #default
merges additional
defaults specified by the XENVIRONMENT
environment variable. If XENVIRONMENT
is defined,
it contains a full path name for the additional resource file. If XENVIRONMENT
is not defined,
#default
looks for "$HOME/.Xdefaults-name"
, where name specifies the name of the machine on which the application is running.
Returns the default colormap ID for allocation on the specified screen. Most routine allocations of color should be made out of this colormap.
Arguments
- screen_number Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.
Returns the depth (number of planes) of the default root window for the specified screen. Other depths may also be supported on this screen.
Arguments
- screen_number Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.
Returns the default graphics context for the root window of the specified screen.
Arguments
- screen_number Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.
Description
This GC is created for the convenience of simple applications and contains the default GC components with the foreground and background pixel values initialized to the black and white pixels for the screen, respectively.
Returns the default visual type for the specified screen.
Arguments
- screen_number Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.
Defines a cursor.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
- cursor Specifies the cursor that is to be displayed or None.
Description
If a cursor is set, it will be used when the pointer is in the window.
If the cursor is None, it is equivalent to #undefine_cursor
.
#define_cursor
can generate BadCursor and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadCursor A value for a Cursor argument does not name a defined Cursor.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Deletes the specified property.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window whose property you want to delete.
- property Specifies the property name.
Description
The #delete_property
function deletes the specified property only if the
property was defined on the specified window and causes the X server to
generate a PropertyNotify
event on the window unless the property does not exist.
#delete_property
can generate BadAtom and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAtom A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Returns the array of depths that are available on the specified screen.
Arguments
- screen_number Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.
Description
The #depths
function returns the array of depths that are available on the specified screen.
If the specified screen_number is valid and sufficient memory for the array can be allocated,
otherwise it returns an empty array.
Destroys all inferior windows of the specified window, in bottom-to-top stacking order.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #destroy_subwindows
function destroys all inferior windows of the
specified window, in bottom-to-top stacking order. It causes the X server
to generate a DestroyNotify
event for each window. If any mapped subwindows
were actually destroyed, #destroy_subwindows
causes the X server to generate
Expose
events on the specified window. This is much more efficient than
deleting many windows one at a time because much of the work need be
performed only once for all of the windows, rather than for each window.
The subwindows should never be referenced again.
#destroy_subwindows
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

#change_window_attributes
, #configure_window
, #create_window
,
#destroy_window
, #map_window
, #raise_window

Destroys the specified window as well as all of its subwindows.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #destroy_window
function destroys the specified window as well as all
of its subwindows and causes the X server to generate a DestroyNotify
event
for each window. The window should never be referenced again. If the window
specified by the w argument is mapped, it is unmapped automatically. The
ordering of the DestroyNotify
events is such that for any given window
being destroyed, DestroyNotify
is generated on any inferiors of the window
before being generated on the window itself. The ordering among siblings
and across subhierarchies is not otherwise constrained. If the window you
specified is a root window, no windows are destroyed. Destroying a mapped
window will generate Expose
events on other windows that were obscured by the window being destroyed.
#destroy_window
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Disables the use of the access control list at each connection setup.
Description
The #disable_access_control
function disables the use of the access control list at each connection setup.
#disable_access_control
can generate a BadAccess error.
Diagnostics
- BadAccess A client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not already allocate.

Returns the string that was passed to .new
when the current display was opened.
On POSIX-conformant systems, if the passed string was nil,
these return the value of the DISPLAY environment variable when the current display was opened.
These are useful to applications that invoke the fork system call
and want to open a new connection to the same display from the child process as well as for printing error messages.
Draws a single circular or elliptical arc.
Arguments
- d Specifies the drawable.
- gc Specifies the GC.
- x, y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the drawable and specify the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle.
- width, height Specify the width and height, which are the major and minor axes of the arc.
- angle1 Specifies the start of the arc relative to the three-o'clock position from the center, in units of degrees * 64.
- angle2 Specifies the path and extent of the arc relative to the start of the arc, in units of degrees * 64.
Description
#draw_arc
draws a single circular or elliptical arc. The arc is specified
by a rectangle and two angles. The center of the circle or ellipse is the
center of the rectangle, and the major and minor axes are specified by the
width and height. Positive angles indicate counterclockwise motion, and negative
angles indicate clockwise motion. If the magnitude of angle2 is greater
than 360 degrees, #draw_arc
truncates it to 360 degrees.
For an arc specified as [ x, y, width, height, angle1, angle2 ], the origin of the major and minor axes is at [ x + width / 2 , y + height / 2 ], and the infinitely thin path describing the entire circle or ellipse intersects the horizontal axis at [ x, y + height / 2 ] and [ x + width , y + height / 2 ] and intersects the vertical axis at [ x + width / 2, y ] and [ x + width / 2, y + height ]. These coordinates can be fractional and so are not truncated to discrete coordinates. The path should be defined by the ideal mathematical path. For a wide line with line-width lw, the bounding outlines for filling are given by the two infinitely thin paths consisting of all points whose perpendicular distance from the path of the circle/ellipse is equal to lw/2 (which may be a fractional value). The cap-style and join-style are applied the same as for a line corresponding to the tangent of the circle/ellipse at the endpoint.
For an arc specified as [ x, y, width, height, angle1, angle2 ], the angles must be specified in the effectively skewed coordinate system of the ellipse (for a circle, the angles and coordinate systems are identical). The relationship between these angles and angles expressed in the normal coordinate system of the screen (as measured with a protractor) is as follows:
skewed-angle = atan ( tan ( normal-angle ) * width / height ) + adjust
The skewed-angle and normal-angle are expressed in radians (rather than in degrees scaled by 64) in the range [ 0, 2 pi ] and where atan returns a value in the range [ -pi / 2 , pi / 2 ] and adjust is:
- 0 for normal-angle in the range [ 0, pi / 2 ]
- pi for normal-angle in the range [ pi / 2 , 3 pi / 2 ]
- 2 pi for normal-angle in the range [ 3 pi / 2 , 2 pi ]
For any given arc,
#draw_arc
does not draw a pixel more than once. If two arcs join correctly and if the line-width is greater than zero and the arcs intersect,#draw_arc
does not draw a pixel more than once. Otherwise, the intersecting pixels of intersecting arcs are drawn multiple times. Specifying an arc with one endpoint and a clockwise extent draws the same pixels as specifying the other endpoint and an equivalent counterclockwise extent, except as it affects joins.
If the last point in one arc coincides with the first point in the following arc, the two arcs will join correctly. If the first point in the first arc coincides with the last point in the last arc, the two arcs will join correctly. By specifying one axis to be zero, a horizontal or vertical line can be drawn. Angles are computed based solely on the coordinate system and ignore the aspect ratio.
This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, line-width, line-style, cap-style, join-style, fill-style, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. It also uses these GC mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin, tile-stipple-y-origin, dash-offset, and dash-list.
#draw_arc

Draws multiple circular or elliptical arcs.
Arguments
- d Specifies the drawable.
- gc Specifies the GC.
- arcs Specifies an array of arcs.
- narcs Specifies the number of arcs in the array.
Description
#draw_arcs
draws multiple circular or elliptical arcs. Each arc is specified
by a rectangle and two angles. The center of the circle or ellipse is the
center of the rectangle, and the major and minor axes are specified by the
width and height. Positive angles indicate counterclockwise motion, and negative
angles indicate clockwise motion. If the magnitude of angle2 is greater than 360 degrees,
#draw_arcs
truncates it to 360 degrees.
For an arc specified as [ x, y, width, height, angle1, angle2 ], the origin of the major and minor axes is at [ x + width / 2 , y + height / 2 ], and the infinitely thin path describing the entire circle or ellipse intersects the horizontal axis at [ x, y + height / 2 ] and [ x + width , y + height / 2 ] and intersects the vertical axis at [ x + width / 2, y ] and [ x + width / 2, y + height ]. These coordinates can be fractional and so are not truncated to discrete coordinates. The path should be defined by the ideal mathematical path. For a wide line with line-width lw, the bounding outlines for filling are given by the two infinitely thin paths consisting of all points whose perpendicular distance from the path of the circle/ellipse is equal to lw/2 (which may be a fractional value).

- 0 for normal-angle in the range [ 0, pi / 2 ]
- pi for normal-angle in the range [ pi / 2 , 3 pi / 2 ]
- 2 pi for normal-angle in the range [ 3 pi / 2 , 2 pi ]
For any given arc, #draw_arcs
does not draw a pixel more than once.
If two arcs join correctly and if the line-width is greater than zero and
the arcs intersect, #draw_arc
does not draw a pixel more than once.
Otherwise, the intersecting pixels of intersecting arcs are drawn multiple
times. Specifying an arc with one endpoint and a clockwise extent draws the
same pixels as specifying the other endpoint and an equivalent
counterclockwise extent, except as it affects joins.
If the last point in one arc coincides with the first point in the following arc, the two arcs will join correctly. If the first point in the first arc coincides with the last point in the last arc, the two arcs will join correctly. By specifying one axis to be zero, a horizontal or vertical line can be drawn. Angles are computed based solely on the coordinate system and ignore the aspect ratio.
This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, line-width, line-style, cap-style, join-style, fill-style, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.

Draws lines between each pair of points array.
Arguments
- d Specifies the drawable.
- gc Specifies the GC.
- points Specifies an array of points.
- mode Specifies the coordinate mode. You can pass CoordModeOrigin or CoordModePrevious.
Description
The #draw_lines
function uses the components of the specified GC to draw
points.size - 1 lines between each pair of points (point[i], point[i+1])
in the array of Point
structures. It draws the lines in the order listed in the array.
The lines join correctly at all intermediate points, and if the first and
last points coincide, the first and last lines also join correctly. For
any given line, #draw_lines
does not draw a pixel more than once. If thin

Arguments
- d Specifies the drawable.
- gc Specifies the GC. which are relative to the origin of the specified drawable and define the origin of the first character.
- x, y Specify the x and y coordinates.
- string Specifies the character string.
Description
Each character image, as defined by the font in the GC, is treated as an
additional mask for a fill operation on the drawable. The drawable is
modified only where the font character has a bit set to 1. For fonts defined
with 2-byte matrix indexing and used with #draw_string_16
, each byte
is used as a byte2 with a byte1 of zero.
Both functions use these GC components: function, plane-mask, fill-style, font, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. They also use these GC mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin, and tile-stipple-y-origin.

Allows complex spacing and font shifts between counted strings.
Arguments
- d Specifies the drawable.
- gc Specifies the GC.
- x, y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the specified drawable and define the origin of the first character.
- items Specifies an array of text items.
Description
The #draw_text
function allows complex spacing and font shifts between counted strings.
Each text item is processed in turn. A font member other than None in an item causes the font to be stored in the GC and used for subsequent text. A text element delta specifies an additional change in the position along the x axis before the string is drawn. The delta is always added to the character origin and is not dependent on any characteristics of the font. Each character image, as defined by the font in the GC, is treated as an additional mask for a fill operation on the drawable. The drawable is modified only where the font character has a bit set to 1. If a text item generates a BadFont error, the previous text items may have been drawn.
For fonts defined with linear indexing rather than 2-byte matrix indexing,
each X11::C::X::Char2b
structure is interpreted as a 16-bit number with byte1 as the most-significant byte.
The function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, fill-style, font, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. It also uses these GC mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin, and tile-stipple-y-origin.

Returns a message from the error message database.
Arguments
- name Specifies the name of the application.
- message Specifies the type of the error message.
- default_string Specifies the default error message if none is found in the database.
Description
The #error_database_text
function returns a message (or the default message)
from the error message database. Xlib uses this function internally to look
up its error messages. The text in the default_string argument is assumed
to be in the encoding of the current locale, and the text stored in the
buffer_return argument is in the encoding of the current locale.
The name argument should generally be the name of your application. The message argument should indicate which type of error message you want. If the name and message are not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the result is implementation dependent. Xlib uses three predefined +application names+ to report errors. In these names, uppercase and lowercase matter.
- XProtoError The protocol error number is used as a string for the message argument.
- XlibMessage These are the message strings that are used internally by the library.
- XRequest For a core protocol request, the major request protocol number
is used for the message argument. For an extension request, the extension name
(as given by
#init_extension
) followed by a period (.) and the minor request protocol number is used for the message argument. If no string is found in the error database, the default_string is returned to the buffer argument.

Arguments
- code Specifies the error code for which you want to obtain a description.
Description
The #error_text
function returns a string describing the
specified error code. The returned text is in the
encoding of the current locale. It is recommended that you use this function
to obtain an error description because extensions to Xlib may define their own error codes and error strings.

Returns the number of events already in the event queue.
Arguments
- mode Specifies the mode. You can pass QueuedAlready, QueuedAfterFlush, or QueuedAfterReading.
Description
If mode is QueuedAlready, #events_queued
returns the number of events
already in the event queue (and never performs a system call). If mode is
QueuedAfterFlush, #events_queued
returns the number of events already
in the queue if the number is nonzero. If there are no events in the queue,
#events_queued
flushes the output buffer, attempts to read more events out
of the application's connection, and returns the number read. If mode is
QueuedAfterReading, #events_queued
returns the number of events already
in the queue if the number is nonzero. If there are no events in the queue,
#events_queued
attempts to read more events out of the application's connection
without flushing the output buffer and returns the number read.
#events_queued
always returns immediately without I/O if there are events
already in the queue. #events_queued
with mode QueuedAfterFlush is
identical in behavior to #pending
. #events_queued
with mode
QueuedAlready is identical to the #q_length
function.

Returns the maximum request size.
Description
The #extended_max_request_size
function returns zero if the specified
display does not support an extended-length protocol encoding; otherwise,
it returns the maximum request size (in 4-byte units) supported by the
server using the extended-length encoding. The Xlib functions
#draw_lines
, #draw_arcs
, #fill_polygon
, #change_property
,
#set_clip_rectangles
, and set_region
will use the extended-length
encoding as necessary, if supported by the server. Use of the
extended-length encoding in other Xlib functions (for example,
#draw_points
, #draw_rectangles
, draw_degments
, #fill_arcs
,
#fill_rectangles
, #put_image
) is permitted but not required; an Xlib
implementation may choose to split the data across multiple smaller requests instead.
Lists supported extensions.
Description
The #extensions
function returns a list of all extensions supported by the server.
If the data returned by the server is in the Latin Portable Character Encoding,
then the returned strings are in the Host Portable Character Encoding.
Otherwise, the result is implementation dependent.

Returns then window name.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #fetch_name
function returns the name of the specified window. If it
succeeds, it returns a string; otherwise, no name has been set for the window,
and it returns empty string. If the data returned by the server is in the
Latin Portable Character Encoding, then the returned string is in the
Host Portable Character Encoding. Otherwise, the result is implementation dependent.

#fill_arcs
do not draw a pixel more than once. If regions intersect, the
intersecting pixels are drawn multiple times.
Both functions use these GC components: function, plane-mask, fill-style, arc-mode, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. They also use these GC mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin, and tile-stipple-y-origin.

Fills the region closed by the specified path.
Arguments
- d Specifies the drawable.
- gc Specifies the GC.
- points Specifies an array of points.
- shape Specifies a shape that helps the server to improve performance. You can pass Complex, Convex, or Nonconvex.
- mode Specifies the coordinate mode. You can pass CoordModeOrigin or CoordModePrevious.
Description
#fill_polygon
fills the region closed by the specified path. The path is
closed automatically if the last point in the list does not coincide with
the first point. #fill_polygon
does not draw a pixel of the region more
than once. CoordModeOrigin treats all coordinates as relative to the
origin, and CoordModePrevious treats all coordinates after the first
as relative to the previous point.
Depending on the specified shape, the following occurs:
- If shape is Complex, the path may self-intersect. Note that contiguous coincident points in the path are not treated as self-intersection.
- If shape is Convex, for every pair of points inside the polygon, the line segment connecting them does not intersect the path. If known by the client, specifying Convex can improve performance. If you specify Convex for a path that is not convex, the graphics results are undefined.
- If shape is Nonconvex, the path does not self-intersect, but the shape is not wholly convex. If known by the client, specifying Nonconvex instead of Complex may improve performance. If you specify Nonconvex for a self-intersecting path, the graphics results are undefined.
The fill-rule of the GC controls the filling behavior of self-intersecting polygons.
This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, fill-style, fill-rule, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. It also uses these GC mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin, and tile-stipple-y-origin.

fills the rectangles in the order listed in the array.
For any given rectangle, #fill_rectangles
does not draw a pixel more than once.
If rectangles intersect, the intersecting pixels are drawn multiple times.
The function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, fill-style, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. They also use these GC mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin, and tile-stipple-y-origin.
#fill_rectangles
can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and BadMatch errors.
Diagnostics
- BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
- BadGC A value for a
GContext
argument does not name a definedGContext
. - 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.

Flushes the output buffer.
Description
The #flush
function flushes the output buffer. Most client applications
need not use this function because the output buffer is automatically flushed
as needed by calls to #pending
, #next_event
, and #window_event
.
Events generated by the server may be enqueued into the library's event queue.

Forces GC component change.
Arguments
- display Specifies the connection to the X server.
- gc Specifies the GC.
Description
Force sending GC component changes.
Returns an array of strings containing the search path.
Description
The #font_path
function allocates and returns an array of strings containing
the search path. The contents of these strings are implementation dependent
and are not intended to be interpreted by client applications.
See also
Returns an array of available font names.
Arguments
- pattern Specifies the null-terminated pattern string that can contain wildcard characters.
- max_names Specifies the maximum number of names to be returned.
Description
The #fonts
function returns an array of available font names
(as controlled by the font search path; see #set_font_path
) that match
the string you passed to the pattern argument. The pattern string can
contain any characters, but each asterisk (*) is a wildcard for any number
of characters, and each question mark (?) is a wildcard for a single character.
If the pattern string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the
result is implementation dependent. Use of uppercase or lowercase does
not matter. If the data returned
by the server is in the Latin Portable Character Encoding, then the
returned strings are in the Host Portable Character Encoding. Otherwise,
the result is implementation dependent. If there are no matching font names,
#fonts
returns empty array.
See also
Returns a list of font names and infos.
Arguments
- pattern Specifies the null-terminated pattern string that can contain wildcard characters.
- max_names Specifies the maximum number of names to be returned.
Description
The #fonts_with_info
function returns a list of font names and infos that
match the specified pattern and their associated font information.
The list of names is limited to size specified by maxnames. The information
returned for each font is identical to what #load_query_font
would return
except that the per-character metrics are not returned. The pattern string
can contain any characters, but each asterisk (*) is a wildcard for any
number of characters, and each question mark (?) is a wildcard for a single character.
If the pattern string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
the result is implementation dependent. Use of uppercase or lowercase does not matter.
If the data returned by the server is in the Latin Portable Character Encoding,
then the returned strings are in the Host Portable Character Encoding.
Otherwise, the result is implementation dependent.
If there are no matching font names, #fonts_with_info
returns empty array.

Activates the screen saver even if the screen saver had been disabled with a timeout of zero.
Arguments
- mode Specifies the mode that is to be applied. You can pass ScreenSaverActive or ScreenSaverReset.
Description
If the specified mode is ScreenSaverActive and the screen saver currently
is deactivated, #force_screen_saver
activates the screen saver even if the
screen saver had been disabled with a timeout of zero. If the specified mode
is ScreenSaverReset and the screen saver currently is enabled,
#force_screen_saver
deactivates the screen saver if it was activated, and
the activation timer is reset to its initial state (as if device input had been received).
#force_screen_saver
can generate a BadValue error.
Diagnostics
- 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.

Frees the colormap storage.
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap that you want to destroy.
Description
The #free_colormap
function deletes the association between the colormap
resource ID and the colormap and frees the colormap storage. However, this
function has no effect on the default colormap for a screen. If the
specified colormap is an installed map for a screen, it is uninstalled
(see #uninstall_colormap
). If the specified colormap is defined as the
colormap for a window (by #create_window
, #set_window_colormap
, or
#change_window_attributes
), #free_colormap
changes the colormap associated
with the window to None and generates a ColormapNotify event.
X does not define the colors displayed for a window with a colormap of None.
#free_colormap
can generate a BadColor error.
Diagnostics
- BadColor A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.

Frees the cells represented by pixels.
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap.
- pixels Specifies an array of pixel values that map to the cells in the specified colormap.
- planes Specifies the planes you want to free.
Description
The #free_colors
function frees the cells represented by pixels whose
values are in the pixels array. The planes argument should not have any
bits set to 1 in common with any of the pixels. The set of all pixels is
produced by ORing together subsets of the planes argument with the pixels.
The request frees all of these pixels that were allocated by the client
(using #alloc_color
, #alloc_named_color
, #alloc_color_cells
, and #alloc_color_planes
).
Note that freeing an individual pixel obtained from #alloc_color_planes
may not actually allow it to be reused until all of its related pixels are
also freed. Similarly, a read-only entry is not actually freed until it has
been freed by all clients, and if a client allocates the same read-only entry
multiple times, it must free the entry that many times before the entry is actually freed.
All specified pixels that are allocated by the client in the colormap are freed,
even if one or more pixels produce an error. If a specified pixel is not a
valid index into the colormap, a BadValue error results. If a specified
pixel is not allocated by the client (that is, is unallocated or is only allocated
by another client) or if the colormap was created with all entries writable
(by passing AllocAll to #create_colormap
), a BadAccess error results.
If more than one pixel is in error, the one that gets reported is arbitrary.
#free_colors
can generate BadAccess, BadColor, and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAccess A client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not already allocate.
- BadAccess A client attempted to store into a read-only color map entry.
- BadColor A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.
- 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.

Deletes the association between the cursor resource ID and the specified cursor.
Arguments
- cursor Specifies the cursor.
Description
The #free_cursor
function deletes the association between the cursor resource
ID and the specified cursor. The cursor storage is freed when no other
resource references it. The specified cursor ID should not be referred to again.
#free_cursor
can generate a BadCursor error.
Diagnostics
- BadCursor A value for a Cursor argument does not name a defined Cursor.

Frees the pixmap storage.
Arguments
- pixmap Specifies the pixmap.
Description
The #free_pixmap
function first deletes the association between the pixmap
ID and the pixmap. Then, the X server frees the pixmap storage when there
are no references to it. The pixmap should never be referenced again.
#free_pixmap
can generate a BadPixmap error.
Diagnostics
- BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap.

Returns the components specified by valuemask for the specified GC.
Arguments
- gc Specifies the GC.
- valuemask Specifies which components in the GC are to be returned. This argument is the bitwise inclusive OR of zero or more of the valid GC component mask bits.
Description
The #gc_values
function returns the components specified by valuemask for
the specified GC. If the valuemask contains a valid set of GC mask bits
(GCFunction, GCPlaneMask, GCForeground, GCBackground,
GCLineWidth, GCLineStyle, GCCapStyle, GCJoinStyle,
GCFillStyle, GCFillRule, GCTile, GCStipple,
GCTileStipXOrigin, GCTileStipYOrigin, GCFont, GCSubwindowMode,
GCGraphicsExposures, GCClipXOrigin, GCCLipYOrigin, GCDashOffset,
or GCArcMode) and no error occurs, #gc_values
sets the requested components
in values_return and returns a nonzero status. Otherwise, it returns a
zero status. Note that the clip-mask and dash-list (represented by the
GCClipMask and GCDashList bits, respectively, in the valuemask)
cannot be requested. Also note that an invalid resource ID (with one or
more of the three most-significant bits set to 1) will be returned for
GCFont, GCTile, and GCStipple if the component has never been explicitly set by the client.

Determines the placement of a window using a geometry specification.
Arguments
- screen Specifies the screen.
- position, default_position Specify the geometry specifications.
- bwidth Specifies the border width.
- fheight, fwidth Specify the font height and width in pixels (increment size).
- xadder, yadder Specify additional interior padding needed in the window.
Return
- x, y Return the x and y offsets.
- width, height Return the width and height determined.
Description
You pass in the border width (bwidth), size of the increments fwidth and
fheight (typically font width and height), and any additional interior space
(xadder and yadder) to make it easy to compute the resulting size.
The #geometry
function returns the position the window should be placed given
a position and a default position. #geometry
determines the placement of a
window using a geometry specification as specified by parse_geometry
and
the additional information about the window. Given a fully qualified default
geometry specification and an incomplete geometry specification,
parse_geometry
returns a bitmask value as defined above in the
parse_geometry
call, by using the position argument.
The returned width and height will be the width and height specified by default_position as overridden by any user-specified position. They are not affected by fwidth, fheight, xadder, or yadder. The x and y coordinates are computed by using the border width, the screen width and height, padding as specified by xadder and yadder, and the fheight and fwidth times the width and height from the geometry specifications.
Returns the root window and the current geometry of the drawable.
Arguments
- d Specifies the drawable, which can be a window or a pixmap.
Return
- root Returns the root window.
- x, y Return the x and y coordinates that define the location of the drawable. For a window, these coordinates specify the upper-left outer corner relative to its parent's origin. For pixmaps, these coordinates are always zero.
- width, height Return the drawable's dimensions (width and height). For a window, these dimensions specify the inside size, not including the border.
- border_width Returns the border width in pixels. If the drawable is a pixmap, it returns zero.
- depth Returns the depth of the drawable (bits per pixel for the object).
Description
The #geometry
function returns the root window and the current geometry of
the drawable. The geometry of the drawable includes the x and y coordinates,
width and height, border width, and depth. These are described in the argument
list. It is legal to pass to this function a window whose class is InputOnly.
#geometry
can generate a BadDrawable error.
Diagnostics
- BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
See also
Establishes a passive grab.
Arguments
- button Specifies the pointer button that is to be grabbed or AnyButton.
- modifiers Specifies the set of keymasks or AnyModifier. The mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid keymask bits.
- grab_window Specifies the grab window.
- owner_events Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether the pointer events are to be reported as usual or reported with respect to the grab window if selected by the event mask.
- event_mask Specifies which pointer events are reported to the client. The mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid pointer event mask bits.
- pointer_mode Specifies further processing of pointer events. You can pass GrabModeSync or GrabModeAsync.
- keyboard_mode Specifies further processing of keyboard events. You can pass GrabModeSync or GrabModeAsync.
- confine_to* Specifies the window to confine the pointer in or None.
- cursor Specifies the cursor that is to be displayed or None.
Description
The #grab_button
function establishes a passive grab. In the future, the
pointer is actively grabbed (as for #grab_pointer
), the last-pointer-grab
time is set to the time at which the button was pressed (as transmitted in
the ButtonPress event), and the ButtonPress event is reported if
all of the following conditions are true:
- The pointer is not grabbed, and the specified button is logically pressed when the specified modifier keys are logically down, and no other buttons or modifier keys are logically down.
- The grab_window contains the pointer.
- The confine_to window (if any) is viewable.
- A passive grab on the same button/key combination does not exist on any ancestor of grab_window.
The interpretation of the remaining arguments is as for #grab_pointer
.
The active grab is terminated automatically when the logical state of the
pointer has all buttons released (independent of the state of the logical modifier keys).
Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by client applications) may lag the physical state if device event processing is frozen.
This request overrides all previous grabs by the same client on the same button/key combinations on the same window. A modifiers of AnyModifier is equivalent to issuing the grab request for all possible modifier combinations (including the combination of no modifiers). It is not required that all modifiers specified have currently assigned KeyCodes. A button of AnyButton is equivalent to issuing the request for all possible buttons. Otherwise, it is not required that the specified button currently be assigned to a physical button.
If some other client has already issued a #grab_button
with the same
button/key combination on the same window, a BadAccess error results.
When using AnyModifier or AnyButton, the request fails completely,
and a BadAccess error results (no grabs are established) if there is a
conflicting grab for any combination. #grab_button
has no effect on an active grab.
#grab_button
can generate BadCursor, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadCursor A value for a Cursor argument does not name a defined Cursor.
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Establishes a passive grab on the keyboard.
Arguments
- keycode Specifies the KeyCode or AnyKey.
- modifiers Specifies the set of keymasks or AnyModifier. The mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid keymask bits.
- grab_window Specifies the grab window.
- owner_events Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether the keyboard events are to be reported as usual.
- pointer_mode Specifies further processing of pointer events. You can pass GrabModeSync or GrabModeAsync.
- keyboard_mode Specifies further processing of keyboard events. You can pass GrabModeSync or GrabModeAsync.
Description
The #grab_key
function establishes a passive grab on the keyboard. In the
future, the keyboard is actively grabbed (as for #grab_keyboard
), the
last-keyboard-grab time is set to the time at which the key was pressed
(as transmitted in the KeyPress event), and the KeyPress event is
reported if all of the following conditions are true:
- The keyboard is not grabbed and the specified key (which can itself be a modifier key) is logically pressed when the specified modifier keys are logically down, and no other modifier keys are logically down.
- Either the grab_window is an ancestor of (or is) the focus window, or the grab_window is a descendant of the focus window and contains the pointer.
- A passive grab on the same key combination does not exist on any ancestor of grab_window.
The interpretation of the remaining arguments is as for #grab_keyboard
.
The active grab is terminated automatically when the logical state of the
keyboard has the specified key released (independent of the logical state of the modifier keys).
Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by client applications) may lag the physical state if device event processing is frozen.
A modifiers argument of AnyModifier is equivalent to issuing the request for all possible modifier combinations (including the combination of no modifiers). It is not required that all modifiers specified have currently assigned KeyCodes. A keycode argument of AnyKey is equivalent to issuing the request for all possible KeyCodes. Otherwise, the specified keycode must be in the range specified by min_keycode and max_keycode in the connection setup, or a BadValue error results.
If some other client has issued a #grab_key
with the same key combination
on the same window, a BadAccess error results. When using AnyModifier
or AnyKey, the request fails completely, and a BadAccess error results
(no grabs are established) if there is a conflicting grab for any combination.
#grab_key
can generate BadAccess, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAccess A client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not already allocate.
- BadAccess A client attempted to store into a read-only color map entry.
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Actively grabs control of the keyboard and generates FocusIn and FocusOut events.
Arguments
- grab_window Specifies the grab window.
- owner_events Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether the keyboard events are to be reported as usual.
- pointer_mode Specifies further processing of pointer events. You can pass GrabModeSync or GrabModeAsync.
- keyboard_mode Specifies further processing of keyboard events. You can pass GrabModeSync or GrabModeAsync.
- time Specifies the time. You can pass either a timestamp or CurrentTime.
Description
The #grab_keyboard
function actively grabs control of the keyboard and
generates FocusIn and FocusOut events. Further key events are
reported only to the grabbing client. #grab_keyboard
overrides any active
keyboard grab by this client. If owner_events is false, all generated key
events are reported with respect to grab_window. If owner_events is true
and if a generated key event would normally be reported to this client, it
is reported normally; otherwise, the event is reported with respect to the grab_window.
Both KeyPress and KeyRelease events are always reported, independent
of any event selection made by the client.
If the keyboard_mode argument is GrabModeAsync, keyboard event processing
continues as usual. If the keyboard is currently frozen by this client, then
processing of keyboard events is resumed. If the keyboard_mode argument is
GrabModeSync, the state of the keyboard (as seen by client applications)
appears to freeze, and the X server generates no further keyboard events until
the grabbing client issues a releasing #allow_events
call or until the keyboard
grab is released. Actual keyboard changes are not lost while the keyboard is
frozen; they are simply queued in the server for later processing.
If pointer_mode is GrabModeAsync, pointer event processing is unaffected
by activation of the grab. If pointer_mode is GrabModeSync, the state
of the pointer (as seen by client applications) appears to freeze, and the
X server generates no further pointer events until the grabbing client issues
a releasing #allow_events
call or until the keyboard grab is released.
Actual pointer changes are not lost while the pointer is frozen;
they are simply queued in the server for later processing.
If the keyboard is actively grabbed by some other client, #grab_keyboard
fails and returns AlreadyGrabbed. If grab_window is not viewable, it
fails and returns GrabNotViewable. If the keyboard is frozen by an active
grab of another client, it fails and returns GrabFrozen. If the specified time
is earlier than the last-keyboard-grab time or later than the current X server
time, it fails and returns GrabInvalidTime. Otherwise, the last-keyboard-grab
time is set to the specified time (CurrentTime is replaced by the current X server time).
#grab_keyboard
can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Actively grabs control of the pointer and returns GrabSuccess if the grab was successful.
Arguments
- grab_window Specifies the grab window.
- owner_events Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether the pointer events are to be reported as usual or reported with respect to the grab window if selected by the event mask.
- event_mask Specifies which pointer events are reported to the client. The mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid pointer event mask bits.
- pointer_mode Specifies further processing of pointer events. You can pass GrabModeSync or GrabModeAsync.
- keyboard_mode Specifies further processing of keyboard events. You can pass GrabModeSync or GrabModeAsync.
- confine_to Specifies the window to confine the pointer in or None.
- cursor Specifies the cursor that is to be displayed during the grab or None.
- time Specifies the time. You can pass either a timestamp or CurrentTime.
Description
The #grab_pointer
function actively grabs control of the pointer and
returns GrabSuccess if the grab was successful. Further pointer events
are reported only to the grabbing client. #grab_pointer
overrides any
active pointer grab by this client. If owner_events is false, all
generated pointer events are reported with respect to grab_window and are
reported only if selected by event_mask. If owner_events is true and
if a generated pointer event would normally be reported to this client, it
is reported as usual. Otherwise, the event is reported with respect to the
grab_window and is reported only if selected by event_mask. For either value
of owner_events, unreported events are discarded.
If the pointer_mode is GrabModeAsync, pointer event processing continues
as usual. If the pointer is currently frozen by this client, the processing
of events for the pointer is resumed. If the pointer_mode is GrabModeSync,
the state of the pointer, as seen by client applications, appears to freeze,
and the X server generates no further pointer events until the grabbing client
calls #allow_events
or until the pointer grab is released. Actual pointer
changes are not lost while the pointer is frozen;
they are simply queued in the server for later processing.
If the keyboard_mode is GrabModeAsync, keyboard event processing is
unaffected by activation of the grab. If the keyboard_mode is GrabModeSync,
the state of the keyboard, as seen by client applications, appears to freeze,
and the X server generates no further keyboard events until the grabbing client
calls #allow_events
or until the pointer grab is released. Actual keyboard
changes are not lost while the pointer is frozen;
they are simply queued in the server for later processing.
If a cursor is specified, it is displayed regardless of what window the pointer is in. If None is specified, the normal cursor for that window is displayed when the pointer is in grab_window or one of its subwindows; otherwise, the cursor for grab_window is displayed.
If a confine_to window is specified, the pointer is restricted to stay contained in that window. The confine_to window need have no relationship to the grab_window. If the pointer is not initially in the confine_to window, it is warped automatically to the closest edge just before the grab activates and enter/leave events are generated as usual. If the confine_to window is subsequently reconfigured, the pointer is warped automatically, as necessary, to keep it contained in the window.
The time argument allows you to avoid certain circumstances that come up if applications take a long time to respond or if there are long network delays. Consider a situation where you have two applications, both of which normally grab the pointer when clicked on. If both applications specify the timestamp from the event, the second application may wake up faster and successfully grab the pointer before the first application. The first application then will get an indication that the other application grabbed the pointer before its request was processed.
#grab_pointer
generates EnterNotify and LeaveNotify events.
Either if grab_window or confine_to window is not viewable or if the
confine_to window lies completely outside the boundaries of the root window,
#grab_pointer
fails and returns GrabNotViewable. If the pointer is
actively grabbed by some other client, it fails and returns AlreadyGrabbed.
If the pointer is frozen by an active grab of another client, it fails and
returns GrabFrozen. If the specified time is earlier than the
last-pointer-grab time or later than the current X server time, it fails
and returns GrabInvalidTime. Otherwise, the last-pointer-grab time is set
to the specified time (CurrentTime is replaced by the current X server time).
#grab_pointer
can generate BadCursor, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadCursor A value for a Cursor argument does not name a defined Cursor.
- 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.

with a format of 32 and a first data element of IconicState and a window
of w to the root window of the specified screen with an event mask set to
SubstructureNotifyMask | SubstructureRedirectMask.
Window managers may elect to receive this message and if the window is in
its normal state, may treat it as a request to change the window's state
from normal to iconic. If the WM_CHANGE_STATE property cannot be interned,
#iconify_window
does not send a message and returns a zero status.
It returns a nonzero status if the client message is sent successfully; otherwise, it returns a zero status.

Returns the matched event's associated structure.
Arguments
- predicate Specifies the procedure that is to be called to determine if the next event in the queue matches what you want.
- arg Specifies the user-supplied argument that will be passed to the predicate procedure.
Description
The #if_event
function completes only when the specified predicate procedure.
#if_event
removes the matching event from the queue and returns it.

This function specifically supports rudimentary screen dumps.
Arguments
- d Specifies the drawable.
- 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.
- width, height Specify the width and height of the subimage, which define the dimensions of the rectangle.
- plane_mask Specifies the plane mask.
- format Specifies the format for the image. You can pass XYPixmap or ZPixmap .
Description
The get_image
function returns an Image object.
This object provides you with the contents of the specified rectangle of the drawable in the format you specify.
If the format
argument is XYPixmap , the image contains only the bit planes you passed to the plane_mask argument.
If the plane_mask 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 , get_image
returns as zero the bits in all planes not specified in the plane_mask
argument.
The function performs no range checking on the values in plane_mask
and ignores extraneous bits.
get_image
returns the depth of the image to the depth member of the Image object.
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 plane_mask
.
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 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, get_image
raises exception.
get_image
can generate BadDrawable , BadMatch , and BadValue errors.
Diagnostic
- BadDrawable A value for a
Drawable
argument does not name a definedWindow
orPixmap
. - BadMatch An
InputOnly
window is used as aDrawable
. - 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.

Specify the required byte order for images for each scanline unit in XY format (bitmap) or for each pixel value in Z format. The function can return either LSBFirst or MSBFirst.
Determines if the named extension exists.
Arguments
- name Specifies the extension name.
Description
The #init_extension
function determines if the named extension exists.
Then, it allocates storage for maintaining the information about the
extension on the connection, chains this onto the extension list for the
connection, and returns the information the stub implementor will need to
access the extension. If the extension does not exist, #init_extension
returns nil.
If the extension name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the result is implementation dependent. Uppercase and lowercase matter; the strings "thing", "Thing", and "thinG" are all considered different names.
The extension number in the ExtCodes
structure is needed in the other
calls that follow. This extension number is unique only to a single connection.

Returns the focus window and the current focus state.
Return
- focus Returns the focus window, PointerRoot, or None.
- revert_to Returns the current focus state (RevertToParent, RevertToPointerRoot, or RevertToNone).
Description
The #input_focus
function returns the focus window and the current focus state.

Installs the specified colormap for its associated screen.
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap.
Description
The #install_colormap
function installs the specified colormap for its
associated screen. All windows associated with this colormap immediately
display with true colors. You associated the windows with this colormap
when you created them by calling #create_window
, #create_simple_window
,
#change_window_attributes
, or #set_window_colormap
.
If the specified colormap is not already an installed colormap, the X
server generates a ColormapNotify event on each window that has that
colormap. In addition, for every other colormap that is installed as a
result of a call to #install_colormap
, the X server generates a
ColormapNotify event on each window that has that colormap.
#install_colormap
can generate a BadColor error.
Diagnostics
- BadColor A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.
See also
#change_window_attributes
, #create_colormap
, #create_window
, X11::free
,

Returns a list of the currently installed colormaps.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window that determines the screen.
Description
The #installed_colormaps
function returns a list of the currently installed
colormaps for the screen of the specified window. The order of the colormaps
in the list is not significant and is no explicit indication of the required list.
When the allocated list is no longer needed.
#installed_colormaps
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Returns the atom identifier.
Arguments
- atom_name Specifies the name associated with the atom you want returned.
- only_if_exists Specifies a
Bool
value that indicates whether the atom must be created.
Description
#intern_atom
function returns the atom identifier associated with the specified #atom_name
string.
If only_if_exists
is false, the atom is created if it does not exist.
Therefore, #intern_atom
can return None
. If the atom name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
the result is implementation dependent. Uppercase and lowercase matter; the strings thing'',
Thing'', and
thinG'' all designate different atoms.
The atom will remain defined even after the client's connection closes.
It will become undefined only when the last connection to the X server closes.
#intern_atom
can generate BadAlloc and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- 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.

Returns the current keyboard controls in the specified KeyboardState
structure.
Description
The #keyboard_control
function returns the current control values for the
keyboard to the KeyboardState
structure.
For the LEDs, the least-significant bit of led_mask corresponds to LED one, and each bit set to 1 in led_mask indicates an LED that is lit. The global_auto_repeat member can be set to AutoRepeatModeOn or AutoRepeatModeOff. The auto_repeats member is a bit vector. Each bit set to 1 indicates that auto-repeat is enabled for the corresponding key. The vector is represented as 32 bytes. Byte N (from 0) contains the bits for keys 8N to 8N + 7 with the least-significant bit in the byte representing key 8N.

Returns the symbols for the specified number of KeyCodes starting with first_keycode.
Arguments
- first_keycode Specifies the first KeyCode that is to be returned.
- keycode_count Specifies the number of KeyCodes that are to be returned.
Description
The #keyboard_mapping
function returns the symbols for the specified
number of KeyCodes starting with first_keycode. The value specified in
first_keycode must be greater than or equal to min_keycode as returned by
display_keycodes
, or a BadValue error results. In addition, the
following expression must be less than or equal to max_keycode as returned by display_keycodes
:
first_keycode + keycode_count - 1
If this is not the case, a BadValue error results. The number of elements in the KeySyms list is:
keycode_count * keysyms_per_keycode
KeySym number N, counting from zero, for KeyCode K has the following index in the list, counting from zero:
(K - first_code) * keysyms_per_code + N
The X server arbitrarily chooses the keysyms_per_keycode value to be large enough to report all requested symbols. A special KeySym value of NoSymbol is used to fill in unused elements for individual KeyCodes.
#keyboard_mapping
can generate a BadValue error.
Diagnostics
- 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.

Returns the KeySym defined for the specified KeyCode.
Arguments
- keycode Specifies the KeyCode.
- index Specifies the element of KeyCode vector.
Description
The #keycode_to_keysym
function uses internal Xlib tables and returns the
KeySym defined for the specified KeyCode and the element of the KeyCode vector.
If no symbol is defined, #keycode_to_keysym
returns NoSymbol
.

Returns the min-keycodes and max-keycodes supported by the specified display.
Return
- min_keycodes Returns the minimum number of KeyCodes.
- max_keycodes Returns the maximum number of KeyCodes.
Description
Then #keycodes
function returns the min-keycodes and max-keycodes supported
by the specified display. The minimum number of KeyCodes returned is never
less than 8, and the maximum number of KeyCodes returned is never greater
than 255. Not all KeyCodes in this range are required to have corresponding keys.

Returns KeyCode for the specified KeySym.
Arguments
- keysym Specifies the KeySym that is to be searched for or converted.
Description
Standard KeySym names are obtained from c/keysymdef.cr
by removing the
XK_ prefix from each name. KeySyms that are not part of the Xlib standard
also may be obtained with this function. The set of KeySyms that are
available in this manner and the mechanisms by which Xlib obtains them is implementation-dependent.
If the KeySym name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the result is implementation-dependent.

KeyEvent::lookup_keysym
.
Forces a close-down of the client.
Arguments
- resource Specifies any resource associated with the client that you want to destroy or AllTemporary.
Description
The #kill_client
function forces a close-down of the client that created
the resource if a valid resource is specified. If the client has already
terminated in either RetainPermanent or RetainTemporary mode, all
of the client's resources are destroyed. If AllTemporary is specified,
the resources of all clients that have terminated in RetainTemporary
are destroyed. This permits implementation of window manager facilities
that aid debugging. A client can set its close-down mode to RetainTemporary.
If the client then crashes, its windows would not be destroyed. The programmer
can then inspect the application's window tree and use the window manager to destroy the zombie windows.
#kill_client
can generate a BadValue error.
Diagnostics
- 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.

Returns the full serial number of the last request known by Xlib to have been processed by the X server. Xlib automatically sets this number when replies, events, and errors are received. extract the full serial number of the last request known by Xlib to have been processed by the X server. Xlib automatically sets this number when replies, events, and errors are received.
Loads the specified font
Arguments
- name Specifies the name of the font, which is a string.
Description
The #load_font
function loads the specified font and returns its
associated font ID. If the font name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
the result is implementation dependent. Use of uppercase or lowercase does not matter.
When the characters "?" and "" are used in a font name, a pattern match
is performed and any matching font is used. In the pattern, the "?" character
will match any single character, and the "" character will match any number of characters.
A structured format for font names is specified in the X Consortium standard
X Logical Font Description Conventions. If #load_font
was unsuccessful at loading the specified font,
a BadName error results. Fonts are not associated with a particular
screen and can be stored as a component of any X11::C::X::GC
.
When the font is no longer needed, call #unload_font
.
#load_font
can generate BadAlloc and BadName errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadName A font or color of the specified name does not exist.

Arguments
- name Specifies the name of the font.
Description
#load_query_font
function provides the most common way for accessing a font.
#load_query_font
both opens (loads) the specified font and returns a pointer
to the appropriate FontStruct
structure. If the font name is not in the
Host Portable Character Encoding, the result is implementation dependent.
If the font does not exist, #load_query_font
returns nil.
#load_query_font
can generate a BadAlloc error.

Locks out all other threads from using the actual display.
Description
The #lock
function locks out all other threads from using the actual display.
Other threads attempting to use the display will block until the display is
unlocked by this thread. Nested calls to #lock
work correctly; the display
will not actually be unlocked until #unlock
has been called the same number
of times as lock_display
. This function has no effect unless Xlib was
successfully initialized for threads using X11::init_threads
.

Looks up the string name of a color with respect to the screen associated with the specified colormap.
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap.
- color_name Specifies the color name string (for example, red) whose color definition structure you want returned.
Return
- exact_def Returns the exact RGB values.
- screen_def Returns the closest RGB values provided by the hardware.
Description
The #lookup_color
function looks up the string name of a color with respect
to the screen associated with the specified colormap. It returns both the
exact color values and the closest values provided by the screen with respect
to the visual type of the specified colormap. If the color name is not in
the Host Portable Character Encoding, the result is implementation dependent.
Use of uppercase or lowercase does not matter.
#lookup_color
can generate a BadColor error.
Diagnostics
- BadColor A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.

Lowers the specified window to the bottom of the stack so that it does not obscure any sibling windows.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #lower_window
function lowers the specified window to the bottom of
the stack so that it does not obscure any sibling windows. If the windows
are regarded as overlapping sheets of paper stacked on a desk, then lowering
a window is analogous to moving the sheet to the bottom of the stack but
leaving its x and y location on the desk constant. Lowering a mapped window
will generate Expose events on any windows it formerly obscured.
If the override-redirect attribute of the window is false and some other client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X server generates a ConfigureRequest event, and no processing is performed. Otherwise, the window is lowered to the bottom of the stack.
#lower_window
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Maps the window and all of its subwindows that have had map requests.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #map_raised
function essentially is similar to #map_window
in that
it maps the window and all of its subwindows that have had map requests.
However, it also raises the specified window to the top of the stack.
For additional information, see #map_window
.
#map_raised
can generate multiple BadWindow errors.

Maps all subwindows for a specified window in top-to-bottom stacking order.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #map_subwindows
function maps all subwindows for a specified window
in top-to-bottom stacking order. The X server generates Expose events
on each newly displayed window. This may be much more efficient than mapping
many windows one at a time because the server needs to perform much of the
work only once, for all of the windows, rather than for each window.
#map_subwindows
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
See also
#change_window_attributes
, #configure_window
, #create_window
,
#destroy_window
, #map_raised
, #map_window
, #unmap_window
.
Maps the window and all of its subwindows that have had map requests.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #map_window
function maps the window and all of its subwindows that
have had map requests. Mapping a window that has an unmapped ancestor does
not display the window but marks it as eligible for display when the ancestor
becomes mapped. Such a window is called unviewable. When all its ancestors
are mapped, the window becomes viewable and will be visible on the screen
if it is not obscured by another window. This function has no effect if
the window is already mapped.
If the override-redirect of the window is false and if some other client
has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent window, then the
X server generates a MapRequest event, and the #map_window
function
does not map the window. Otherwise, the window is mapped,
and the X server generates a MapNotify event.
If the window becomes viewable and no earlier contents for it are remembered, the X server tiles the window with its background. If the window's background is undefined, the existing screen contents are not altered, and the X server generates zero or more Expose events. If backing-store was maintained while the window was unmapped, no Expose events are generated. If backing-store will now be maintained, a full-window exposure is always generated. Otherwise, only visible regions may be reported. Similar tiling and exposure take place for any newly viewable inferiors.
If the window is an InputOutput window, #map_window
generates
Expose events on each InputOutput window that it causes to be displayed.
If the client maps and paints the window and if the client begins processing
events, the window is painted twice. To avoid this, first ask for Expose
events and then map the window, so the client processes input events as usual.
The event list will include Expose for each window that has appeared on the screen.
The client's normal response to an Expose event should be to repaint the window.
This method usually leads to simpler programs and to proper interaction with window managers.
#map_window

Returns the matched event's associated structure.
Arguments
- event_mask Specifies the event mask.
Description
The #mask_event
function searches the event queue for the events associated
with the specified mask. When it finds a match, #mask_event
removes that event.
The other events stored in the queue are not discarded. If the event you
requested is not in the queue, #mask_event
flushes the output buffer and blocks until one is received.

Returns the maximum request size.
Description
The #max_request_size
function returns the maximum request size (in 4-byte units)
supported by the server without using an extended-length protocol encoding.
Single protocol requests to the server can be no larger than this size unless
an extended-length protocol encoding is supported by the server. The protocol
guarantees the size to be no smaller than 4096 units (16384 bytes). Xlib
automatically breaks data up into multiple protocol requests as necessary
for the following functions: #draw_points
, #draw_rectangles
,
#draw_segments
, #fill_arcs
, #fill_rectangles
, and #put_image
.

Returns the motion-buffer size.
Description
The server may retain the recent history of the pointer motion and do so
to a finer granularity than is reported by MotionNotify
events.
The #motion_events
function makes this history available.
See also
#motion_events
, #if_event
, #next_event
, #put_back_event
, #send_event
.
Returns all events in an array from the motion history buffer that fall between the specified start and stop times, inclusive, and that have coordinates that lie within the specified window (including its borders) at its present placement. If the server does not support motion history, if the start time is later than the stop time, or if the start time is in the future, no events are returned; motion_events returns empty array. If the stop time is in the future, it is equivalent to specifying CurrentTime .
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
- start, stop Specify the time interval in which the events are returned from the motion history buffer. You can pass a timestamp or CurrentTime.
Description
The #motion_events
function returns all events in the motion history buffer
that fall between the specified start and stop times, inclusive,
and that have coordinates that lie within the specified window (including its borders)
at its present placement. If the server does not support motion history,
if the start time is later than the stop time, or if the start time is in
the future, no events are returned; #motion_events
returns nil.
If the stop time is in the future, it is equivalent to specifying CurrentTime.
#motion_events
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

display_motion_buffer_size
, #if_event
, #next_event
, #put_back_event
, #send_event

Changes the size and location of the specified window without raising it.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window to be reconfigured.
- x, y Specify the x and y coordinates, which define the new position of the window relative to its parent.
- width, height Specify the width and height, which define the interior size of the window.
Description
The #move_resize_window
function changes the size and location of the
specified window without raising it. Moving and resizing a mapped window
may generate an Expose event on the window. Depending on the new size
and location parameters, moving and resizing a window may generate Expose
events on windows that the window formerly obscured.
If the override-redirect flag of the window is false and some other client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X server generates a ConfigureRequest event, and no further processing is performed. Otherwise, the window size and location are changed.
#move_resize_window
can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Function moves the specified window to the specified x and y coordinates.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window to be moved
- x, y Specify the x and y coordinates, which define the new location of the top-left pixel of the window's border or the window itself if it has no border.
Description
The #move_window
function moves the specified window to the specified x
and y coordinates, but it does not change the window's size, raise the window,
or change the mapping state of the window. Moving a mapped window may or may
not lose the window's contents depending on if the window is obscured by
nonchildren and if no backing store exists. If the contents of the window
are lost, the X server generates Expose events. Moving a mapped window
generates Expose events on any formerly obscured windows.
If the override-redirect flag of the window is False and some other client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X server generates a ConfigureRequest event, and no further processing is performed. Otherwise, the window is moved.
#move_window

sends a NoOperation protocol request to the X server, thereby exercising the connection.
Returns the exact color value for later use and sets the DoRed, DoGreen, and DoBlue flags.
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap.
- spec Specifies the color name string; case is ignored.
Description
The #parse_color
function looks up the string name of a color with respect
to the screen associated with the specified colormap. It returns the exact
color value. If the color name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
the result is implementation dependent. Use of uppercase or lowercase does
not matter.
#parse_color
can generate a BadColor error.

Returns a copy of the matched event's associated structure.
Description
The #peek_event
function returns the first event from the event queue,
but it does not remove the event from the queue. If the queue is empty,
#peek_event
flushes the output buffer and blocks until an event is received.
It then copies the event into the client-supplied Event
structure without
removing it from the event queue.

Combines an image with a rectangle of the specified drawable.
Arguments
- d Specifies the drawable.
- gc Specifies the GC.
- image Specifies the image you want combined with the rectangle.
- src_x Specifies the offset in X from the left edge of the image defined by the
Image
object. - src_y Specifies the offset in Y from the top edge of the image defined by the
Image
object. - dest_x, dest_y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the drawable and are the coordinates of the subimage.
- width, height Specify the width and height of the subimage, which define the dimensions of the rectangle.
Description
The #put_image
function combines an image with a rectangle of the specified
drawable. The section of the image defined by the src_x, src_y, width, and
height arguments is drawn on the specified part of the drawable. 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, byte_order and bitmap_unit)
differ from what the server requires, #put_image
automatically makes the appropriate conversions.
This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. It also uses these GC mode-dependent components: foreground and background.
#put_image
can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.

Raises the specified window to the top of the stack so that no sibling window obscures it.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #raise_window
function raises the specified window to the top of the
stack so that no sibling window obscures it. If the windows are regarded as
overlapping sheets of paper stacked on a desk, then raising a window is
analogous to moving the sheet to the top of the stack but leaving its x and
y location on the desk constant. Raising a mapped window may generate
Expose events for the window and any mapped subwindows that were formerly obscured.
If the override-redirect attribute of the window is false and some other client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X server generates a ConfigureRequest event, and no processing is performed. Otherwise, the window is raised.
#raise_window

- filename Specifies the file name to use. The format of the file name is operating-system dependent.
Returns
- width, height Return the width and height values of the read in bitmap file.
- bitmap Returns the bitmap that is created.
- x_hot, y_hot Return the hotspot coordinates.
Description
The #read_bitmap_file
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, #read_bitmap_file
returns BitmapOpenFailed.
If the file can be opened but does not contain valid bitmap data, it
returns BitmapFileInvalid. If insufficient working storage is allocated,
it returns BitmapNoMemory. If the file is readable and valid, it returns BitmapSuccess.
#read_bitmap_file
returns the bitmap's height and width, as read from the
file, to width and height. 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
#free_pixmap
when finished. If name_x_hot and name_y_hot exist,
#read_bitmap_file
returns them to x_hot and y_hot; otherwise, it returns -1,-1.
#read_bitmap_file
can generate BadAlloc, BadDrawable, and BadGC errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.

Description
The #rebind_keysym
function can be used to rebind the meaning of a KeySym
for the client. It does not redefine any key in the X server but merely
provides an easy way for long strings to be attached to keys.
KexEvent::lookup_string
returns this string when the appropriate set of
modifier keys are pressed and when the KeySym would have been used for the
translation. No text conversions are performed; the client is responsible
for supplying appropriately encoded strings. Note that you can rebind a KeySym that may not exist.

Issues a ConfigureWindow request on the specified top-level window.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
- screen_number Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.
- value_mask Specifies which values are to be set using information in the values structure. This mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid configure window values bits.
- values Specifies the
WindowChanges
structure.
Description
The #reconfigure_wm_window
function issues a ConfigureWindow request
on the specified top-level window. If the stacking mode is changed and the
request fails with a BadMatch error, the error is trapped by Xlib and
a synthetic ConfigureRequestEvent containing the same configuration
parameters is sent to the root of the specified window. Window managers
may elect to receive this event and treat it as a request to reconfigure
the indicated window. It returns a nonzero status if the request or event
is successfully sent; otherwise, it returns a zero status.
#reconfigure_wm_window
can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.

Removes each specified host from the access control list for that display.
Arguments
- hosts Specifies each host that is to be removed.
Description
The #remove_hosts
function removes each specified host from the access
control list for that display. The X server must be on the same host as
the client process, or a BadAccess error results. If you remove your
machine from the access list, you can no longer connect to that server,
and this operation cannot be reversed unless you reset the server.
#remove_hosts
can generate BadAccess and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAccess A client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not already allocate.
- BadAccess A client attempted to store into a read-only color map entry.
- 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.

Places the window in the stacking order on top with respect to sibling windows.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
- parent Specifies the parent window.
- x, y Specify the x and y coordinates of the position in the new parent window.
Description
If the specified window is mapped, #reparent_window
automatically performs
an UnmapWindow request on it, removes it from its current position in
the hierarchy, and inserts it as the child of the specified parent. The
window is placed in the stacking order on top with respect to sibling windows.
After reparenting the specified window, #reparent_window
causes the X server
to generate a ReparentNotify event. The override_redirect member returned
in this event is set to the window's corresponding attribute. Window manager
clients usually should ignore this window if this member is set to true.
Finally, if the specified window was originally mapped, the X server
automatically performs a MapWindow request on it.
The X server performs normal exposure processing on formerly obscured windows. The X server might not generate Expose events for regions from the initial UnmapWindow request that are immediately obscured by the final MapWindow request. A BadMatch error results if:
- The new parent window is not on the same screen as the old parent window.
- The new parent window is the specified window or an inferior of the specified window.
- The new parent is InputOnly, and the window is not.
- The specified window has a ParentRelative background, and the new parent window is not the same depth as the specified window.
#reparent_window
can generate BadMatch and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Changes the inside dimensions of the specified window, not including its borders.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
- width, height Specify the width and height, which are the interior dimensions of the window after the call completes.
Description
The #resize_window
function changes the inside dimensions of the specified
window, not including its borders. This function does not change the
window's upper-left coordinate or the origin and does not restack the window.
Changing the size of a mapped window may lose its contents and generate
Expose events. If a mapped window is made smaller, changing its size
generates Expose events on windows that the mapped window formerly obscured.
If the override-redirect flag of the window is false and some other client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X server generates a ConfigureRequest event, and no further processing is performed. If either width or height is zero, a BadValue error results.
#resize_window
can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Returns the RESOURCE_MANAGER property from the server's root window of screen zero.
Description
The #resource_manager_string
function returns the RESOURCE_MANAGER property
from the server's root window of screen zero, which was returned when the
connection was opened using Display::new
. The property is converted from
type STRING to the current locale. The conversion is identical to that produced
by mb_text_property_to_text_list
for a single element STRING property.
The returned string is owned by Xlib and should not be freed by the client.
The property value must be in a format that is acceptable to X11::rm_get_string_database
.
If no property exists, empty string is returned.

Screen::resource_string
.
Restacks the windows in the order specified, from top to bottom.
Arguments
- windows Specifies an array containing the windows to be restacked.
Description
The #restack_windows
function restacks the windows in the order specified,
from top to bottom. The stacking order of the first window in the windows
array is unaffected, but the other windows in the array are stacked
underneath the first window, in the order of the array. The stacking order
of the other windows is not affected. For each window in the window array
that is not a child of the specified window, a BadMatch error results.
If the override-redirect attribute of a window is false and some other client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X server generates ConfigureRequest events for each window whose override-redirect flag is not set, and no further processing is performed. Otherwise, the windows will be restacked in top to bottom order.
#restack_windows
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Rotates the cut buffers.
Arguments
- rotate Specifies how much to rotate the cut buffers.
Description
The #rotate_buffers
function rotates the cut buffers, such that buffer
0 becomes buffer n, buffer 1 becomes n + 1 mod 8, and so on. This cut
buffer numbering is global to the display. Note that #rotate_buffers
generates BadMatch errors if any of the eight buffers have not been created.
Diagnostics
- 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.
See also
Allows you to rotate properties on a window.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
- properties Specifies the array of properties that are to be rotated.
- npositions Specifies the rotation amount.
Description
The #rotate_window_properties
function allows you to rotate properties on
a window and causes the X server to generate PropertyNotify events.
If the property names in the properties array are viewed as being numbered
starting from zero and if there are properties.size
property names in the list,
then the value associated with property name I becomes the value associated with
property name (I + npositions) mod N for all I from zero to N - 1.
The effect is to rotate the states by npositions places around the virtual
ring of property names (right for positive npositions, left for negative npositions).
If npositions mod N is nonzero, the X server generates a PropertyNotify
event for each property in the order that they are listed in the array.
If an atom occurs more than once in the list or no property with that name
is defined for the window, a BadMatch error results. If a BadAtom
or BadMatch error results, no properties are changed.
#rotate_window_properties
can generate BadAtom, BadMatch, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAtom A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.
- 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.
- BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

- interval Returns the interval between screen saver invocations.
- prefer_blanking Returns the current screen blanking preference (DontPreferBlanking, PreferBlanking, or DefaultBlanking).
- allow_exposures Returns the current screen save control value (DontAllowExposures, AllowExposures, or DefaultExposures).
Description
The #screen_saver
function gets the current screen saver values.

Requests that the X server report the events associated with the specified event mask.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window whose events you are interested in.
- event_mask Specifies the event mask.
Description
The #select_input
function requests that the X server report the events
associated with the specified event mask. Initially, X will not report any
of these events. Events are reported relative to a window. If a window is
not interested in a device event, it usually propagates to the closest
ancestor that is interested, unless the do_not_propagate mask prohibits it.
Setting the event-mask attribute of a window overrides any previous call for the same window but not for other clients. Multiple clients can select for the same events on the same window with the following restrictions:
- Multiple clients can select events on the same window because their event masks are disjoint. When the X server generates an event, it reports it to all interested clients.
- Only one client at a time can select CirculateRequest, ConfigureRequest, or MapRequest events, which are associated with the event mask SubstructureRedirectMask.
- Only one client at a time can select a ResizeRequest event, which is associated with the event mask ResizeRedirectMask.
- Only one client at a time can select a ButtonPress event, which is associated with the event mask ButtonPressMask. The server reports the event to all interested clients.
#select_input
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
Returns the selection owner.
Arguments
- display Specifies the connection to the X server.
- selection Specifies the selection atom whose owner you want returned.
Description
The #selection_owner
function returns the window ID associated with
the window that currently owns the specified selection. If no selection was
specified, the function returns the constant None
. If None
is returned, there is no owner for the selection.
#selection_owner
can generate a BadAtom error.
Diagnostics

Identifies the destination window, determines which clients should receive the specified events, and ignores any active grabs.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window the event is to be sent to, or PointerWindow, or InputFocus.
- propagate Specifies a Boolean value.
- event_mask Specifies the event mask.
- event_send Specifies the event that is to be sent.
Description
The #send_event
function identifies the destination window, determines
which clients should receive the specified events, and ignores any active
grabs. This function requires you to pass an event mask. For a discussion
of the valid event mask names, see section "Event Masks". This function
uses the w argument to identify the destination window as follows:
- If w is PointerWindow, the destination window is the window that contains the pointer.
- If w is InputFocus and if the focus window contains the pointer,
the destination window is the window that contains the pointer; otherwise,
the destination window is the focus window.
To determine which clients should receive the specified events,
#send_event
uses the propagate argument as follows: - If event_mask is the empty set, the event is sent to the client that created the destination window. If that client no longer exists, no event is sent.
- If propagate is false, the event is sent to every client selecting on destination any of the event types in the event_mask argument.
- If propagate is true and no clients have selected on destination any of the event types in event-mask, the destination is replaced with the closest ancestor of destination for which some client has selected a type in event-mask and for which no intervening window has that type in its do-not-propagate-mask. If no such window exists or if the window is an ancestor of the focus window and InputFocus was originally specified as the destination, the event is not sent to any clients. Otherwise, the event is reported to every client selecting on the final destination any of the types specified in event_mask.
The event in the Event
object must be one of the core events or one of
the events defined by an extension (or a BadValue error results) so that
the X server can correctly byte-swap the contents as necessary. The contents
of the event are otherwise unaltered and unchecked by the X server except to
force send_event to true in the forwarded event and to set the serial
number in the event correctly; therefore these fields and the display
field are ignored by #send_event
.
#send_event
returns zero if the conversion to wire protocol
format failed and returns nonzero otherwise.
#send_event
can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Changes the clip-mask in the specified GC to the specified list of rectangles and sets the clip origin.
Arguments
- gc Specifies the GC.
- clip_x_origin, clip_y_origin Specify the x and y coordinates of the clip-mask origin.
- rectangles Specifies an array of rectangles that define the clip-mask.
- ordering Specifies the ordering relations on the rectangles. You can pass Unsorted, YSorted, YXSorted, or YXBanded.
Description
The #set_clip_rectangles
function changes the clip-mask in the specified
GC to the specified list of rectangles and sets the clip origin. The output
is clipped to remain contained within the rectangles. The clip-origin is
interpreted relative to the origin of whatever destination drawable is specified
in a graphics request. The rectangle coordinates are interpreted relative to
the clip-origin. The rectangles should be nonintersecting, or the graphics
results will be undefined. Note that the list of rectangles can be empty,
which effectively disables output. This is the opposite of passing None
as the clip-mask in #create_gc
, #change_gc
, and #set_clip_mask
.
If known by the client, ordering relations on the rectangles can be specified with the ordering argument. This may provide faster operation by the server. If an incorrect ordering is specified, the X server may generate a BadMatch error, but it is not required to do so. If no error is generated, the graphics results are undefined. Unsorted means the rectangles are in arbitrary order. YSorted means that the rectangles are nondecreasing in their Y origin. YXSorted additionally constrains YSorted order in that all rectangles with an equal Y origin are nondecreasing in their X origin. YXBanded additionally constrains YXSorted by requiring that, for every possible Y scanline, all rectangles that include that scanline have an identical Y origins and Y extents.
#set_clip_rectangles

and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.

Sets the dash-offset and dash-list attributes for dashed line styles in the specified GC.
Arguments
- gc Specifies the GC.
- dash_offset Specifies the phase of the pattern for the dashed line-style you want to set for the specified GC.
- dash_list Specifies the dash-list for the dashed line-style you want to set for the specified GC.
Description
The #set_dashes
function sets the dash-offset and dash-list attributes for
dashed line styles in the specified GC. There must be at least one element
in the specified dash_list, or a BadValue error results. The initial
and alternating elements (second, fourth, and so on) of the dash_list are
the even dashes, and the others are the odd dashes. Each element specifies
a dash length in pixels. All of the elements must be nonzero, or a
BadValue error results. Specifying an odd-length list is equivalent to
specifying the same list concatenated with itself to produce an even-length list.
The dash-offset defines the phase of the pattern, specifying how many pixels into the dash-list the pattern should actually begin in any single graphics request. Dashing is continuous through path elements combined with a join-style but is reset to the dash-offset between each sequence of joined lines.
The unit of measure for dashes is the same for the ordinary coordinate system. Ideally, a dash length is measured along the slope of the line, but implementations are only required to match this ideal for horizontal and vertical lines. Failing the ideal semantics, it is suggested that the length be measured along the major axis of the line. The major axis is defined as the x axis for lines drawn at an angle of between -45 and +45 degrees or between 135 and 225 degrees from the x axis. For all other lines, the major axis is the y axis.
#set_dashes
can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue errors.

Defines the directory search path for font lookup.
Arguments
- directories Specifies the directory path used to look for a font. Setting the path to the empty list restores the default path defined for the X server.
Description
The #set_font_path
function defines the directory search path for font lookup.
There is only one search path per X server, not one per client. The encoding
and interpretation of the strings is implementation dependent, but typically
they specify directories or font servers to be searched in the order listed.
An X server is permitted to cache font information internally; for example,
it might cache an entire font from a file and not check on subsequent opens
of that font to see if the underlying font file has changed. However, when
the font path is changed, the X server is guaranteed to flush all cached
information about fonts for which there currently are no explicit resource
IDs allocated. The meaning of an error from this request is implementation dependent.
#set_font_path
can generate a BadValue error.
Diagnostics
- 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.

Changes the input focus and the last-focus-change time.
Arguments
- focus Specifies the window, PointerRoot, or None.
- revert_to Specifies where the input focus reverts to if the window becomes not viewable. You can pass RevertToParent, RevertToPointerRoot, or RevertToNone.
- time Specifies the time. You can pass either a timestamp or CurrentTime.
Description
The #set_input_focus
function changes the input focus and the
last-focus-change time. It has no effect if the specified time is earlier
than the current last-focus-change time or is later than the current X
server time. Otherwise, the last-focus-change time is set to the specified
time (CurrentTime is replaced by the current X server time).
#set_input_focus
causes the X server to generate FocusIn and FocusOut events.
Depending on the focus argument, the following occurs:
- If focus is None, all keyboard events are discarded until a new focus window is set, and the revert_to argument is ignored.
- If focus is a window, it becomes the keyboard's focus window. If a generated keyboard event would normally be reported to this window or one of its inferiors, the event is reported as usual. Otherwise, the event is reported relative to the focus window.
- If focus is PointerRoot, the focus window is dynamically taken to be the root window of whatever screen the pointer is on at each keyboard event. In this case, the revert_to argument is ignored.
The specified focus window must be viewable at the time #set_input_focus
is called, or a BadMatch error results. If the focus window later
becomes not viewable, the X server evaluates the revert_to argument to
determine the new focus window as follows:
- If revert_to is RevertToParent, the focus reverts to the parent (or the closest viewable ancestor), and the new revert_to value is taken to be RevertToNone.
- If revert_to is RevertToPointerRoot or RevertToNone, the focus reverts to PointerRoot or None, respectively. When the focus reverts, the X server generates FocusIn and FocusOut events, but the last-focus-change time is not affected.
#set_input_focus
can generate BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.

Specifies the KeyCodes of the keys that are to be used as modifiers.
Arguments
- modmap Specifies the
ModifierKeymap
structure.
Description
The #set_modifier_mapping
function specifies the KeyCodes of the keys
(if any) that are to be used as modifiers. If it succeeds, the X server
generates a MappingNotify event, and #set_modifier_mapping
returns
MappingSuccess. X permits at most eight modifier keys. If more than
eight are specified in the ModifierKeymap
structure, a BadLength error results.
The modifiermap member of the ModifierKeymap
structure contains eight sets
of max_keypermod KeyCodes, one for each modifier in the order Shift,
Lock, Control, Mod1, Mod2, Mod3, Mod4, and Mod5.
Only nonzero KeyCodes have meaning in each set, and zero KeyCodes are ignored.
In addition, all of the nonzero KeyCodes must be in the range specified by
min_keycode and max_keycode in the Display
object, or a BadValue error results.
An X server can impose restrictions on how modifiers can be changed, for
example, if certain keys do not generate up transitions in hardware, if
auto-repeat cannot be disabled on certain keys, or if multiple modifier keys
are not supported. If some such restriction is violated, the status reply is
MappingFailed, and none of the modifiers are changed. If the new KeyCodes
specified for a modifier differ from those currently defined and any
(current or new) keys for that modifier are in the logically down state,
#set_modifier_mapping
returns MappingBusy, and none of the modifiers is changed.
#set_modifier_mapping
can generate BadAlloc and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.

Sets the mapping of the pointer.
Arguments
- map Specifies the mapping list.
Description
The #set_pointer_mapping
function sets the mapping of the pointer. If it
succeeds, the X server generates a MappingNotify event, and
#set_pointer_mapping
returns MappingSuccess. Element map[i] defines
the logical button number for the physical button i+1. The length of the
list must be the same as #pointer_mapping
would return, or a BadValue
error results. A zero element disables a button, and elements are not
restricted in value by the number of physical buttons. However, no two
elements can have the same nonzero value, or a BadValue error results.
If any of the buttons to be altered are logically in the down state,
#set_pointer_mapping
returns MappingBusy, and the mapping is not changed.
#set_pointer_mapping
can generate a BadValue error.
Diagnostics
- 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.

Sets the screen saver mode.
Arguments
- timeout Specifies the timeout, in seconds, until the screen saver turns on.
- *interval Specifies the interval, in seconds, between screen saver alterations.
- prefer_blanking Specifies how to enable screen blanking. You can pass DontPreferBlanking, PreferBlanking, or DefaultBlanking.
- allow_exposures Specifies the screen save control values. You can pass DontAllowExposures, AllowExposures, or DefaultExposures.
Description
Timeout and interval are specified in seconds. A timeout of 0 disables the
screen saver (but an activated screen saver is not deactivated), and a
timeout of -1 restores the default. Other negative values generate a
BadValue error. If the timeout value is nonzero, #set_screen_saver
enables the screen saver. An interval of 0 disables the random-pattern motion.
If no input from devices (keyboard, mouse, and so on) is generated for the
specified number of timeout seconds once the screen saver is enabled, the screen saver is activated.
For each screen, if blanking is preferred and the hardware supports video
blanking, the screen simply goes blank. Otherwise, if either exposures are
allowed or the screen can be regenerated without sending Expose events
to clients, the screen is tiled with the root window background tile randomly
re-origined each interval seconds. Otherwise, the screens' state do not change,
and the screen saver is not activated. The screen saver is deactivated, and
all screen states are restored at the next keyboard or pointer input or at the
next call to #force_screen_saver
with mode ScreenSaverReset.
If the server-dependent screen saver method supports periodic change, the interval argument serves as a hint about how long the change period should be, and zero hints that no periodic change should be made. Examples of ways to change the screen include scrambling the colormap periodically, moving an icon image around the screen periodically, or tiling the screen with the root window background tile, randomly re-origined periodically.
#set_screen_saver
can generate a BadValue error.
Diagnostics
- 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.

Changes the owner and last-change time for the specified selection.
Arguments
- selection Specifies the selection atom.
- owner Specifies the owner of the specified selection atom. You can pass a window or None.
- time Specifies the time. You can pass either a timestamp or CurrentTime.
Description
The #set_selection_owner
function changes the owner and last-change time
for the specified selection and has no effect if the specified time is
earlier than the current last-change time of the specified selection or is
later than the current X server time. Otherwise, the last-change time is
set to the specified time, with CurrentTime replaced by the current
server time. If the owner window is specified as None, then the owner
of the selection becomes None (that is, no owner). Otherwise, the
owner of the selection becomes the client executing the request.
If the new owner (whether a client or None) is not the same as the
current owner of the selection and the current owner is not None,
the current owner is sent a SelectionClear event. If the client that
is the owner of a selection is later terminated (that is, its connection
is closed) or if the owner window it has specified in the request is later
destroyed, the owner of the selection automatically reverts to None,
but the last-change time is not affected. The selection atom is
uninterpreted by the X server. #selection_owner
returns the owner window,
which is reported in SelectionRequest and SelectionClear events.
Selections are global to the X server.
#set_selection_owner
can generate BadAtom and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAtom A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

, X11::string_list_to_text_property
.
Replaces the WM_PROTOCOLS property on the specified window.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
- protocols Specifies the list of protocols.
Description
The #set_wm_protocols
function replaces the WM_PROTOCOLS property on the
specified window with the list of atoms specified by the protocols argument.
If the property does not already exist, #set_wm_protocols
sets the WM_PROTOCOLS property
on the specified window to the list of atoms specified by the protocols argument.
The property is stored with a type of X11::C::Atom
and a format of 32.
If it cannot intern the WM_PROTOCOLS atom, #set_wm_protocols
returns a zero status.
Otherwise, it returns a nonzero status.
#set_wm_protocols
can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.

Changes the colormap entry of the pixel value
specified in the pixel member of the Color
structure.
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap.
- color Specifies the pixel and RGB values.
Description
The #store_color
function changes the colormap entry of the pixel value
specified in the pixel member of the Color
structure. You specified this
value in the pixel member of the Color
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.
#store_color
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
Color
structure. If the colormap is an installed map for its screen,
the changes are visible immediately.
#store_color
can generate BadAccess, BadColor, and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAccess A client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not already allocate.
- BadAccess A client attempted to store into a read-only color map entry.
- BadColor A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.
- 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.

Changes the colormap entries of the pixel values
specified in the pixel members of the Color
structures.
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap.
- color Specifies an array of color definition structures to be stored.
Description
The #store_colors
function changes the colormap entries of the pixel values
specified in the pixel members of the Color
structures. You specify which
color components are to be changed by setting DoRed, DoGreen,
and/or DoBlue in the flags member of the Color
structures. If the
colormap is an installed map for its screen, the changes are visible
immediately. #store_colors
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.
#store_colors
can generate BadAccess, BadColor, and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAccess A client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not already allocate.
- BadAccess A client attempted to store into a read-only color map entry.
- BadColor A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.
- 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.

Assigns the name passed to window_name to the specified window.
Arguments
w Specifies the window.
- window_name Specifies the window name, which should be a null-terminated string.
Description
The #store_name
function assigns the name passed to window_name to the
specified window. A window manager can display the window name in some
prominent place, such as the title bar, to allow users to identify windows
easily. Some window managers may display a window's name in the window's
icon, although they are encouraged to use the window's icon name if one is
provided by the application. If the string is not in the Host Portable
Character Encoding, the result is implementation dependent.
#store_name
can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Looks up the named color with respect to the screen associated with the colormap and stores the result in the specified colormap.
Arguments
colormap Specifies the colormap.
- color Specifies the color name string (for example, red).
- pixel Specifies the entry in the colormap.
- flags Specifies which red, green, and blue components are set.
Description
The #store_named_color
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 colormap.
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 dependent. 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.
#store_named_color
can generate BadAccess, BadColor, BadName,
and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAccess A client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not already allocate.
- BadAccess A client attempted to store into a read-only color map entry.
- BadColor A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.
- BadName A font or color of the specified name does not exist.
- 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.

Updates dest_image with the specified subimage in the same manner as #get_image.
Arguments
- d Specifies the drawable.
- 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.
- width, height Specify the width and height of the subimage, which define the dimensions of the rectangle.
- plane_mask Specifies the plane mask.
- format Specifies the format for the image. You can pass XYPixmap or ZPixmap.
- dest_image Specifies the destination image.
- dest_x, dest_y Specify the x and y coordinates, 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.
Description
The #sub_image
function updates dest_image with the specified subimage in the same manner as #image
.
If the format argument is XYPixmap, the image contains only the bit planes you passed to the plane_mask argument.
If the format argument is ZPixmap , #get_sub_image returns as zero the bits in all planes not specified in the plane_mask argument.
The function performs no range checking on the values in plane_mask and ignores extraneous bits.
As a convenience, #sub_image
returns an image object specified by dest_image.
The depth of the destination Image
object must be the same as that of the drawable.
If the specified subimage does not fit at the specified 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 BadMatch error results. If the window has backing-store,
then 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.
If a problem occurs, #sub_image
raises exception.
#sub_image
can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.
Diagnostics
- BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
- BadGC A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext.
- 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.

Flushes the output buffer and then waits until all requests have been received and processed by the X server.
Arguments
- discard Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether
#sync
discards all events on the event queue.
Description
The #sync
function flushes the output buffer and then waits until all
requests have been received and processed by the X server. Any errors
generated must be handled by the error handler. For each protocol error
received by Xlib, #sync
calls the client application's error handling
routine (see "Using the Default Error Handlers"). Any events generated by
the server are enqueued into the library's event queue.
Finally, if you passed false, #sync
does not discard the events in
the queue. If you passed true, #sync
discards all events in the queue,
including those events that were on the queue before #sync
was called.
Client applications seldom need to call #sync
.
See also
Returns the previous after function.
Arguments
- onoff Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether to enable or disable synchronization.
Description
The #synchronize
function returns the previous after function.
If onoff is true, #synchronize
turns on synchronous behavior.
If onoff is false, #synchronize
turns off synchronous behavior.

Returns the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property for the specified window.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #transient_for_hint
function returns the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property
for the specified window. It returns a nonzero Window on success;
otherwise, it returns a zero.
#transient_for_hint
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Transforms coordinates from the coordinate space of one window to another window.
Arguments
- src_w Specifies the source window.
- dest_w Specifies the destination window.
- src_x, src_y Specify the x and y coordinates within the source window.
Returns
- dest_x, dest_y Return the x and y coordinates within the destination window.
- child_return Returns the child if the coordinates are contained in a mapped child of the destination window.
Description
If #translate_coordinates
returns true, it takes the src_x and src_y
coordinates relative to the source window's origin and returns these
coordinates to dest_x and dest_y relative to the destination window's origin.
If #translate_coordinates
returns false, src_w and dest_w are on
different screens, and dest_x and dest_y are zero. If the coordinates are
contained in a mapped child of dest_w, that child is returned to
child. Otherwise, child is set to None.
#translate_coordinates
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
Undoes the effect of a previous #define_cursor
for this window.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #undefine_cursor
function undoes the effect of a previous
#define_cursor
for this window. When the pointer is in the window,
the parent's cursor will now be used. On the root window, the default cursor is restored.
#undefine_cursor
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Releases the passive button/key combination on the specified window if it was grabbed by this client.
Arguments
- button Specifies the pointer button that is to be released or AnyButton.
- modifiers Specifies the set of keymasks or AnyModifier. The mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid keymask bits.
- grab_window Specifies the grab window.
Description
The #ungrab_button
function releases the passive button/key combination
on the specified window if it was grabbed by this client. A modifiers of
AnyModifier is equivalent to issuing the ungrab request for all
possible modifier combinations, including the combination of no modifiers.
A button of AnyButton is equivalent to issuing the request for all
possible buttons. #ungrab_button
has no effect on an active grab.
#ungrab_button
can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.

Releases the key combination on the specified window if it was grabbed by this client.
Arguments
- keycode Specifies the KeyCode or AnyKey.
- modifiers Specifies the set of keymasks or AnyModifier. The mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid keymask bits.
- grab_window Specifies the grab window.
Description
The #ungrab_key
function releases the key combination on the specified
window if it was grabbed by this client. It has no effect on an active grab.
A modifiers of AnyModifier is equivalent to issuing the request for all
possible modifier combinations (including the combination of no modifiers).
A keycode argument of AnyKey is equivalent to issuing the request for all possible key codes.
#ungrab_key
can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- 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.

Releases the keyboard and any queued events if this client has it
actively grabbed from either #grab_keyboard
or #grab_key
.
Arguments
- time Specifies the time. You can pass either a timestamp or CurrentTime.
Description
The #ungrab_keyboard
function releases the keyboard and any queued events
if this client has it actively grabbed from either #grab_keyboard
or
#grab_key
. #ungrab_keyboard
does not release the keyboard and any queued
events if the specified time is earlier than the last-keyboard-grab time
or is later than the current X server time. It also generates FocusIn
and FocusOut events. The X server automatically performs an
UngrabKeyboard request if the event window for an active keyboard grab becomes not viewable.

Releases the pointer and any queued events.
Arguments
- time Specifies the time. You can pass either a timestamp or CurrentTime.
Description
The #ungrab_pointer
function releases the pointer and any queued events
if this client has actively grabbed the pointer from #grab_pointer
,
#grab_button
, or from a normal button press. #ungrab_pointer
does not
release the pointer if the specified time is earlier than the
last-pointer-grab time or is later than the current X server time. It also
generates EnterNotify and LeaveNotify events. The X server performs
an UngrabPointer request automatically if the event window or confine_to
window for an active pointer grab becomes not viewable or if window
reconfiguration causes the confine_to window to lie completely outside
the boundaries of the root window.

Restarts processing of requests and close downs on other connections.
Description
The #ungrab_server
function restarts processing of requests and close
downs on other connections. You should avoid grabbing the X server as much as possible.

Removes the specified colormap from the required list for its screen.
Arguments
- colormap Specifies the colormap.
Description
The #uninstall_colormap
function removes the specified colormap from the
required list for its screen. As a result, the specified colormap might be
uninstalled, and the X server might implicitly install or uninstall
additional colormaps. Which colormaps get installed or uninstalled is
server-dependent except that the required list must remain installed.
If the specified colormap becomes uninstalled, the X server generates a
ColormapNotify event on each window that has that colormap. In
addition, for every other colormap that is installed or uninstalled as a
result of a call to #uninstall_colormap
, the X server generates a
ColormapNotify event on each window that has that colormap.
#uninstall_colormap
can generate a BadColor error.
Diagnostics
- BadColor A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.

Deletes the association between the font resource ID and the specified font.
Arguments
- font Specifies the font.
Description
The #unload_font
function deletes the association between the font
resource ID and the specified font. The font itself will be freed when no
other resource references it. The font should not be referenced again.
#unload_font
can generate a BadFont error.
Diagnostics
- BadFont A value for a font argument does not name a defined
font (or, in some cases,
GContext
).

Allows other threads to use the specified display again.
Description
The #unlock
function allows other threads to use the specified display again.
Any threads that have blocked on the display are allowed to continue.
Nested locking works correctly; if #lock
has been called multiple times by a thread,
then #unlock
must be called an equal number of times before the display
is actually unlocked. This function has no effect unless Xlib was successfully
initialized for threads using X11::init_threads
.

Unmaps all subwindows for the specified window in bottom-to-top stacking order.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #unmap_subwindows
function unmaps all subwindows for the specified
window in bottom-to-top stacking order. It causes the X server to generate
an UnmapNotify event on each subwindow and Expose events on formerly
obscured windows. Using this function is much more efficient than unmapping
multiple windows one at a time because the server needs to perform much of
the work only once, for all of the windows, rather than for each window.
#unmap_subwindows
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
See also
#change_window_attributes
, #configure_window
, #create_window
,
#destroy_window
, #map_window
, #raise_window

.
Unmaps the specified window and causes the X server to generate an UnmapNotify event.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #unmap_window
function unmaps the specified window and causes the X
server to generate an UnmapNotify event. If the specified window is
already unmapped, #unmap_window
has no effect. Normal exposure processing
on formerly obscured windows is performed. Any child window will no longer
be visible until another map call is made on the parent. In other words,
the subwindows are still mapped but are not visible until the parent is
mapped. Unmapping a window will generate Expose events on windows that were formerly obscured by it.
#unmap_window
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Moves the pointer by the offsets relative to the current position of the pointer.
Arguments
- src_w Specifies the source window or None.
- dest_w Specifies the destination window or None.
- src_x, src_y, src_width, src_height Specify a rectangle in the source window.
- dest_x, dest_y Specify the x and y coordinates within the destination window.
Description
If dest_w is None, #warp_pointer
moves the pointer by the offsets
(dest_x, dest_y) relative to the current position of the pointer.
If dest_w is a window, #warp_pointer
moves the pointer to the offsets
(dest_x, dest_y) relative to the origin of dest_w. However, if src_w is a
window, the move only takes place if the window src_w contains the pointer
and if the specified rectangle of src_w contains the pointer.
The src_x and src_y coordinates are relative to the origin of src_w. If src_height is zero, it is replaced with the current height of src_w minus src_y. If src_width is zero, it is replaced with the current width of src_w minus src_x.
There is seldom any reason for calling this function. The pointer should
normally be left to the user. If you do use this function, however, it
generates events just as if the user had instantaneously moved the
pointer from one position to another. Note that you cannot use #warp_pointer
to move the pointer outside the confine_to window of an active pointer grab.
An attempt to do so will only move the pointer as far as the closest edge of the confine_to window.
#warp_pointer
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Arguments
- screen_number Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.
Returns the specified window's attributes in the WindowAttributes
structure.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window whose current attributes you want to obtain.
Description
The #window_attributes
function returns the current attributes for the
specified window to an WindowAttributes
structure.
The x and y members are set to the upper-left outer corner relative to the parent window's origin.
The width and height members are set to the inside size of the window, not including the border.
The border_width member is set to the window's border width in pixels.
The depth member is set to the depth of the window (that is, bits per pixel for the object).
The visual member is a pointer to the screen's associated Visual
structure.
The root member is set to the root window of the screen containing the window.
The class member is set to the window's class and can be either InputOutput or InputOnly.
The bit_gravity member is set to the window's bit gravity and can be one of the following:
- ForgetGravity EastGravity
- NorthWestGravity SouthWestGravity
- NorthGravity SouthGravity
- NorthEastGravity SouthEastGravity
- WestGravity StaticGravity
- CenterGravity
The win_gravity member is set to the window's window gravity and can be one of the following:

The backing_store member is set to indicate how the X server should maintain the contents of a window and can be WhenMapped, Always, or NotUseful.
The backing_planes member is set to indicate (with bits set to 1) which bit planes of the window hold dynamic data that must be preserved in backing_stores and during save_unders.
The backing_pixel member is set to indicate what values to use for planes not set in backing_planes.
The save_under member is set to true or false.
The colormap member is set to the colormap for the specified window and can be a colormap ID or None.
The map_installed member is set to indicate whether the colormap is currently installed and can be true or false.
The map_state member is set to indicate the state of the window and can be IsUnmapped, IsUnviewable, or IsViewable. IsUnviewable is used if the window is mapped but some ancestor is unmapped.
The all_event_masks member is set to the bitwise inclusive OR of all event masks selected on the window by all clients.
The your_event_mask member is set to the bitwise inclusive OR of all event masks selected by the querying client.
The do_not_propagate_mask member is set to the bitwise inclusive OR of the set of events that should not propagate.
The override_redirect member is set to indicate whether this window overrides structure control facilities and can be true or false. Window manager clients should ignore the window if this member is true.
The screen member is set to a screen pointer that gives you a back pointer to the correct screen. This makes it easier to obtain the screen information without having to loop over the root window fields to see which field matches.
#window_attributes
can generate BadDrawable and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.

Returns the matched event's associated object.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window whose events you are interested in.
- event_mask Specifies the event mask.
Description
The #window_event
function searches the event queue for an event that
matches both the specified window and event mask. When it finds a match,
#window_event
removes that event from the queue and copies it into the
specified Event
object. The other events stored in the queue are not
discarded. If a matching event is not in the queue, #window_event
flushes the output buffer and blocks until one is received.

- long_length Specifies the length in 32-bit multiples of the data to be retrieved.
- delete Specifies a Boolean value that determines whether the property is deleted.
- req_type Specifies the atom identifier associated with the property type or AnyPropertyType.
Return
- actual_type Returns the atom identifier that defines the actual type of the property.
- actual_format Returns the actual format of the property.
- nitems Returns the actual number of 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit items stored in the prop_return data.
- bytes_after Returns the number of bytes remaining to be read in the property if a partial read was performed.
- prop Returns the data in the specified format.
Description
The #window_property
function returns the actual type of the property;
the actual format of the property; the number of 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit
items transferred; the number of bytes remaining to be read in the property;
and a string of the data actually returned. #window_property
sets the return arguments as follows:
- If the specified property does not exist for the specified window,
#window_property
returns None to actual_type_return and the value zero to actual_format_return and bytes_after_return. The nitems_return argument is empty. In this case, the delete argument is ignored. - If the specified property exists but its type does not match the
specified type,
#window_property
returns the actual property type to actual_type_return, the actual property format (never zero) to actual_format_return, and the property length in bytes (even if the actual_format_return is 16 or 32) to bytes_after_return. It also ignores the delete argument. The nitems_return argument is empty. - If the specified property exists and either you assign AnyPropertyType
to the req_type argument or the specified type matches the actual property type,
#window_property
returns the actual property type to actual_type_return and the actual property format (never zero) to actual_format_return. It also returns a value to bytes_after_return and nitems_return, by defining the following values:
N = actual length of the stored property in bytes (even if the format is 16 or 32)
I = 4 * long_offset
T = N - I
L = MINIMUM(T, 4 * long_length)
A = N - (I + L)
The returned value starts at byte index I in the property (indexing from zero), and its length in bytes is L. If the value for long_offset causes L to be negative, a BadValue error results. The value of bytes_after_return is A, giving the number of trailing unread bytes in the stored property.
If the returned format is 8, the returned data is represented as a char array. If the returned format is 16, the returned data is represented as a short array and should be cast to that type to obtain the elements. If the returned format is 32, the returned data is represented as a long array and should be cast to that type to obtain the elements.
If delete is true and bytes_after is zero, #window_property
deletes the
property from the window and generates a PropertyNotify event on the window.
The function returns Success in res if it executes successfully.
#window_property
can generate BadAtom, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
Diagnostics
- BadAtom A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.
- 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.
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Unmaps the specified window.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
- screen_number Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.
Description
The #withdraw_window
function unmaps the specified window and sends a
synthetic UnmapNotify event to the root window of the specified screen.
Window managers may elect to receive this message and may treat it as a
request to change the window's state to withdrawn. When a window is in
the withdrawn state, neither its normal nor its iconic representations is visible.
It returns a nonzero status if the UnmapNotify event is successfully sent; otherwise, it returns a zero status.
#withdraw_window
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Returns the list of window identifiers stored in the WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #wm_colormap_windows
function returns the list of window identifiers
stored in the WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property on the specified window.
These identifiers indicate the colormaps that the window manager may need
to install for this window.
#wm_colormap_windows
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Returns the list of atoms stored in the WM_PROTOCOLS propertystored in the WM_PROTOCOLS property.
Arguments
- w Specifies the window.
Description
The #wm_protocols
function returns the list of atoms stored in the WM_PROTOCOLS property on the specified window.
These atoms describe window manager protocols in which the owner of this window
is willing to participate. If the property exists, is of type Atom
,
is of format 32, and the atom WM_PROTOCOLS can be interned.
#wm_protocols
can generate a BadWindow error.
Diagnostics
- BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.

Writes a bitmap out to a file in the X Version 11 format.
Arguments
- filename Specifies the file name to use. The format of the file name is operating-system dependent.
- bitmap Specifies the bitmap.
- width, height Specify the width and height.
- x_hot, y_hot Specify where to place the hotspot coordinates (or -1, -1 if none are present) in the file.
Description
The #write_bitmap_file
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 BitmapOpenFailed. If insufficient memory is allocated,
#write_bitmap_file
returns BitmapNoMemory; otherwise, on no error,
it returns BitmapSuccess. If x_hot and y_hot are not -1, -1,
#write_bitmap_file
writes them out as the hotspot coordinates for the bitmap.
#write_bitmap_file
can generate BadDrawable and BadMatch errors.
Diagnostics
- BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
- 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.
