DESCRIPTION
The XAllocColor function allocates a read-only colormap entry corresponding to the closest
RGB value supported by the hardware. XAllocColor 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. In addition, XAllocColor
returns nonzero if it succeeded or zero if it failed. 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. XAlloc-
Color does not use or affect the flags in the XColor structure.
XAllocColor can generate a BadColor error.
The XAllocNamedColor 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_return. If the color name is not in the Host Porta-
ble Character Encoding, the result is implementation-dependent. Use of uppercase or low-
ercase does not matter. If screen_def_return and exact_def_return point to the same
structure, the pixel field will be set correctly, but the color values are undefined.
XAllocNamedColor returns nonzero if a cell is allocated; otherwise, it returns zero.
XAllocNamedColor can generate a BadColor error.
The XAllocColorCells function allocates read/write color cells. The number of colors must
be positive and the number of planes nonnegative, or a BadValue error results. If ncolors
and nplanes are requested, then ncolors pixels and nplane plane masks are returned. No
mask will have any bits set to 1 in common with any other mask or with any of the pixels.
By ORing together each pixel with zero or more masks, ncolors * 2nplanes distinct pixels
can be produced. 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 con-
tiguous set of bits set to 1 will be formed for GrayScale or PseudoColor and three con-
tiguous sets of bits set to 1 (one within each pixel subfield) for DirectColor. The RGB
values of the allocated entries are undefined. XAllocColorCells returns nonzero if it
succeeded or zero if it failed.
XAllocColorCells can generate BadColor and BadValue errors.
The specified ncolors must be positive; and nreds, ngreens, and nblues must be nonnega-
tive, 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 cor-
responding 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 * 2nreds inde-
pendent red entries, ncolors * 2ngreens independent green entries, and ncolors * 2nblues
independent blue entries. This is true even for PseudoColor. When the colormap entry of
a pixel value is changed (using XStoreColors, XStoreColor, or XStoreNamedColor), the pixel
is decomposed according to the masks, and the corresponding independent entries are
updated. XAllocColorPlanes returns nonzero if it succeeded or zero if it failed.
XAllocColorPlanes can generate BadColor and BadValue errors.
The XFreeColors 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 XAllocColor, XAllocNamedColor, XAllocColorCells, and XAllocColorPlanes).
Note that freeing an individual pixel obtained from XAllocColorPlanes 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 XCreateColormap), a BadAccess
error results. If more than one pixel is in error, the one that gets reported is arbi-
trary.
XFreeColors 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.
