C SPECIFICATION
GLXPixmap glXCreatePixmap( Display *dpy,
GLXFBConfig config,
Pixmap pixmap,
int *attrib_list )
PARAMETERS
dpy Specifies the connection to the X server.
config Specifies a GLXFBConfig structure with the desired
attributes for the rendering area.
pixmap Specifies the X pixmap to be used as the rendering area.
attrib_list Currently unused. This must be set to NULL, or be an empty
list (i.e., one in which the first element is None).
DESCRIPTIONglXCreatePixmap creates an off-screen rendering area and returns its XID.
Any GLX rendering context that was created with respect to config can be
used to render into this off-screen area. Use glXMakeCurrent to
associate the rendering area with a GLX rendering context.
NOTESglXCreatePixmap is available only if the GLX version is 1.3 or greater.
If the GLX version is 1.1 or 1.0, the GL version must be 1.0. If the GLX
version is 1.2, then the GL version must be 1.1. If the GLX version is
1.3, then the GL version must be 1.2.
ERRORS
BadMatch is generated if pixmap was not created with a visual that
corresponds to config.
BadPixmap is generated if pixmap is not a valid pixmap.

BadAlloc is generated if the X server cannot allocate a new GLX pixmap.
GLXBadFBConfig is generated if config is not a valid GLXFBConfig.
