NAME

ImageByteOrder, BitmapBitOrder, BitmapPad, BitmapUnit, DisplayHeight, DisplayHeightMM, DisplayWidth, DisplayWidthMM, XListPixmapFormats, XPixmapFormatValues − image format functions and macros

SYNTAX

	XPixmapFormatValues XListPixmapFormats(Display display, int *count_return);
	int ImageByteOrder(Display *display);
	int BitmapBitOrder(Display *display);
	int BitmapPad(Display *display);
	int BitmapUnit(Display *display);
	int DisplayHeight(Display *display, int screen_number);
	int DisplayHeightMM(Display *display, int screen_number);
	int DisplayWidth(Display *display, int screen_number);
	int DisplayWidthMM(Display *display, int screen_number);

ARGUMENTS


	display		Specifies the connection to the X server.

count_return

Returns the number of pixmap formats that are supported by the display.

screen_number

Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.

DESCRIPTION

The XListPixmapFormats function returns an array of XPixmapFormatValues structures that describe the types of Z format images supported by the specified display. If insufficient memory is available, XListPixmapFormats returns NULL. To free the allocated storage for the XPixmapFormatValues structures, use XFree.

The ImageByteOrder macro specifies the required byte order for images for each scanline unit in XY format (bitmap) or for each pixel value in Z format.

The BitmapBitOrder macro returns LSBFirst or MSBFirst to indicate whether the leftmost bit in the bitmap as displayed on the screen is the least or most significant bit in the unit.

The BitmapPad macro returns the number of bits that each scanline must be padded.

The BitmapUnit macro returns the size of a bitmap’s scanline unit in bits.

The DisplayHeight macro returns the height of the specified screen in pixels.

The DisplayHeightMM macro returns the height of the specified screen in millimeters.

The DisplayWidth macro returns the width of the screen in pixels.

The DisplayWidthMM macro returns the width of the specified screen in millimeters.

STRUCTURES

The XPixmapFormatValues structure provides an interface to the pixmap format information that is returned at the time of a connection setup. It contains:
typedef struct {

	int depth;
	int bits_per_pixel;
	int scanline_pad;

} XPixmapFormatValues;

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education

Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
