XCopyArea(3)			XLIB FUNCTIONS			  XCopyArea(3)

NAME
       XCopyArea, XCopyPlane - copy areas

SYNTAX

       int XCopyArea(Display *display, Drawable	src, Drawable dest, GC gc, int
	      src_x,  int  src_y,  unsigned  int  width,  unsigned height, int
	      dest_x, int dest_y);

       int XCopyPlane(Display *display,	Drawable src, Drawable	dest,  GC  gc,
	      int  src_x,  int	src_y,	unsigned  width,  unsigned height, int
	      dest_x, int dest_y, unsigned long	plane);

ARGUMENTS
       dest_x
       dest_y	 Specify the x and y coordinates, which	are  relative  to  the
		 origin	 of  the  destination rectangle	and specify its	upper-
		 left corner.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       gc	 Specifies the GC.

       plane	 Specifies the bit plane.  You must set	exactly	one bit	to 1.

       src
       dest	 Specify the source and	destination rectangles to be combined.

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

       width
       height	 Specify the width and height, which  are  the	dimensions  of
		 both the source and destination rectangles.

DESCRIPTION
       The XCopyArea function combines the specified rectangle of src with the
       specified rectangle of dest.  The drawables must	have the same root and
       depth, or a BadMatch error results.

       If  regions  of the source rectangle are	obscured and have not been re-
       tained in backing store or if regions outside  the  boundaries  of  the
       source  drawable	are specified, those regions are not copied.  Instead,
       the following occurs on all corresponding destination regions that  are
       either visible or are retained in backing store.	 If the	destination is
       a  window  with	a background other than	None, corresponding regions of
       the destination are tiled with that background (with plane-mask of  all
       ones  and GXcopy	function).  Regardless of tiling or whether the	desti-
       nation is a window or a pixmap, if  graphics-exposures  is  True,  then
       GraphicsExpose  events  for  all	 corresponding destination regions are
       generated.  If graphics-exposures is True but no	GraphicsExpose	events
       are  generated,	a  NoExpose  event is generated.  Note that by default
       graphics-exposures is True in new GCs.

       This function uses these	GC components: function,  plane-mask,  subwin-
       dow-mode,  graphics-exposures,  clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-
       mask.

       XCopyArea can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and BadMatch errors.

       The XCopyPlane function uses a single bit plane of the specified	source
       rectangle combined with the specified GC	to modify the  specified  rec-
       tangle  of  dest.   The	drawables must have the	same root but need not
       have the	same depth.  If	the drawables do not have  the	same  root,  a
       BadMatch	 error results.	 If plane does not have	exactly	one bit	set to
       1 and the value of plane	is not less than %2 sup	n%,  where  n  is  the
       depth of	src, a BadValue	error results.

       Effectively, XCopyPlane forms a pixmap of the same depth	as the rectan-
       gle  of	dest  and with a size specified	by the source region.  It uses
       the foreground/background pixels	in the GC (foreground  everywhere  the
       bit plane in src	contains a bit set to 1, background everywhere the bit
       plane  in src contains a	bit set	to 0) and the equivalent of a CopyArea
       protocol	request	is performed with all  the  same  exposure  semantics.
       This can	also be	thought	of as using the	specified region of the	source
       bit  plane  as  a  stipple  with	a fill-style of	FillOpaqueStippled for
       filling a rectangular area of the destination.

       This function uses these	GC  components:	 function,  plane-mask,	 fore-
       ground,	background, subwindow-mode, graphics-exposures,	clip-x-origin,
       clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.

       XCopyPlane can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue  er-
       rors.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadDrawable
		 A  value for a	Drawable argument does not name	a defined Win-
		 dow or	Pixmap.

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

       BadMatch	 An InputOnly window is	used as	a Drawable.

       BadMatch	 Some argument or pair of arguments has	the correct  type  and
		 range	but  fails  to match in	some other way required	by the
		 request.

       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.
