XClearArea(3)			XLIB FUNCTIONS			 XClearArea(3)

NAME
       XClearArea, XClearWindow	- clear	area or	window

SYNTAX

       int  XClearArea(Display	*display,  Window  w,  int  x, int y, unsigned
	      width, unsigned height, Bool exposures);

       int XClearWindow(Display	*display, Window w);

ARGUMENTS
       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       exposures Specifies a Boolean value that	indicates if Expose events are
		 to be generated.

       w	 Specifies the window.

       width
       height	 Specify the width and height, which are the dimensions	of the
		 rectangle.

       x
       y	 Specify the x and y coordinates, which	are  relative  to  the
		 origin	of the window and specify the upper-left corner	of the
		 rectangle.

DESCRIPTION
       The XClearArea function paints a	rectangular area in the	specified win-
       dow  according to the specified dimensions with the window's background
       pixel or	pixmap.	 The subwindow-mode effectively	is ClipByChildren.  If
       width is	zero, it is replaced with the current width of the window  mi-
       nus  x.	 If  height is zero, it	is replaced with the current height of
       the window minus	y.  If the window has a	defined	background  tile,  the
       rectangle  clipped  by  any  children is	filled with this tile.	If the
       window has background None, the contents	of the window are not changed.
       In either case, if exposures is True, one or  more  Expose  events  are
       generated  for  regions of the rectangle	that are either	visible	or are
       being retained in a backing store.  If you specify a window whose class
       is InputOnly, a BadMatch	error results.

       XClearArea can generate BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.

       The XClearWindow	function clears	the entire area	in the specified  win-
       dow  and	 is  equivalent	to XClearArea (display,	w, 0, 0, 0, 0, False).
       If the window has a defined background tile,  the  rectangle  is	 tiled
       with  a	plane-mask of all ones and GXcopy function.  If	the window has
       background None,	the contents of	the window are not  changed.   If  you
       specify a window	whose class is InputOnly, a BadMatch error results.

       XClearWindow can	generate BadMatch and BadWindow	errors.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadMatch	 An InputOnly window is	used as	a Drawable.

       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.

       BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not	name a defined Window.
