XcmsStoreColor()XcmsStoreColor()Name
XcmsStoreColor – store a specified color into a read/write colormap
cell.
Synopsis
Status XcmsStoreColor(display, colormap, color)
Display *display;
Colormap colormap;
XcmsColor *color;
Arguments
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
colormap Specifies the colormap.
color Specifies the color cell and the color to store. Values
specified in this XcmsColor structure remain unchanged upon
return.
Returns
Zero on failure, non-zero on success.
Availability
Release 5 and later.
DescriptionXcmsStoreColor() converts the color specified in the XcmsColor struc‐
ture into RGB values and then uses this RGB specification in an XColor
structure, whose three flags (DoRed, DoGreen, and DoBlue) are set, in a
call to XStoreColor() to change the color cell specified by the pixel
member of the XcmsColor structure. This pixel value must be a valid
index for the specified colormap, and the color cell specified by the
pixel value must be a read/write cell. If the pixel value is not a
valid index, a BadValue error results. If the color cell is unallo‐
cated or is allocated read-only, a BadAccess error results. If the
colormap is an installed map for its screen, the changes are visible
immediately.
Note that XStoreColor() does not return a Status therefore this func‐
tion's return status can only indicate if a color conversion was suc‐
cessful and the call to XStoreColor() was made. XcmsStoreColor()
returns XcmsSuccess if it succeeded in converting the color specifica‐
tion and called XStoreColor(). It returns XcmsSuccessWithCompression
if it converted the requested device-independent color to the device
RGB color space with gamut compression and completed the call to
XStoreColor(). It returns XcmsFailure if it could not convert the
specified color at all. To obtain the actual color stored, use Xcms‐
QueryColor(). Due to the screen's hardware limitations or gamut com‐
pression, the color stored in the colormap may not be identical to the
color specified.
Errors
BadAccess The specified colormap cell was read-only.
BadColor The colormap argument does not name a defined colormap.
BadValue The specified pixel does not represent a valid color cell in
the specified colormap.
