XSetArcMode(3)


NAME

   XSetArcMode, XSetSubwindowMode, XSetGraphicsExposure - GC convenience
   routines

SYNTAX

   int XSetArcMode(Display *display, GC gc, int arc_mode);

   int XSetSubwindowMode(Display *display, GC gc, int subwindow_mode);

   int XSetGraphicsExposures(Display *display, GC gc, Bool
          graphics_exposures);

ARGUMENTS

   arc_mode  Specifies the arc mode.  You can pass ArcChord or
             ArcPieSlice.

   display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

   gc        Specifies the GC.

   graphics_exposures
             Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether you want
             GraphicsExpose and NoExpose events to be reported when
             calling XCopyArea and XCopyPlane with this GC.

   subwindow_mode
             Specifies the subwindow mode.  You can pass ClipByChildren or
             IncludeInferiors.

DESCRIPTION

   The XSetArcMode function sets the arc mode in the specified GC.

   XSetArcMode can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue errors.

   The XSetSubwindowMode function sets the subwindow mode in the specified
   GC.

   XSetSubwindowMode can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue errors.

   The XSetGraphicsExposures function sets the graphics-exposures flag in
   the specified GC.

   XSetGraphicsExposures can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue
   errors.

DIAGNOSTICS

   BadAlloc  The server failed to allocate the requested resource or
             server memory.

   BadGC     A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined
             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.
