XStoreColors(3)			XLIB FUNCTIONS		       XStoreColors(3)

NAME
       XStoreColors, XStoreColor, XStoreNamedColor - set colors

SYNTAX

       int  XStoreColors(Display  *display, Colormap colormap, XColor color[],
	      int ncolors);

       int XStoreColor(Display *display, Colormap colormap, XColor *color);

       int XStoreNamedColor(Display *display, Colormap colormap, _Xconst  char
	      *color, unsigned long pixel, int flags);

ARGUMENTS
       color	 Specifies  the	 pixel and RGB values or the color name	string
		 (for example, red).

       color	 Specifies an array  of	 color	definition  structures	to  be
		 stored.

       colormap	 Specifies the colormap.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       flags	 Specifies which red, green, and blue components are set.

       ncolors	 Specifies the number of XColor	structures in the color	defin-
		 ition array.

       pixel	 Specifies the entry in	the colormap.

DESCRIPTION
       The  XStoreColors  function  changes  the colormap entries of the pixel
       values specified	in the pixel members of	the  XColor  structures.   You
       specify	which color components are to be changed by setting DoRed, Do-
       Green, and/or DoBlue in the flags member	of the XColor structures.   If
       the  colormap is	an installed map for its screen, the changes are visi-
       ble immediately.	 XStoreColors changes the specified pixels if they are
       allocated writable in the colormap by any client, even if one  or  more
       pixels  generates  an error.  If	a specified pixel is not a valid index
       into the	colormap, a BadValue error results.  If	a specified pixel  ei-
       ther  is	 unallocated  or is allocated read-only, a BadAccess error re-
       sults.  If more than one	pixel is in error, the one that	gets  reported
       is arbitrary.

       XStoreColors can	generate BadAccess, BadColor, and BadValue errors.

       The  XStoreColor	function changes the colormap entry of the pixel value
       specified in the	pixel member of	the XColor structure.	You  specified
       this  value  in	the  pixel member of the XColor	structure.  This pixel
       value must be a read/write cell and a valid index  into	the  colormap.
       If a specified pixel is not a valid index into the colormap, a BadValue
       error  results.	 XStoreColor  also changes the red, green, and/or blue
       color components.  You specify which color components are to be changed
       by setting DoRed, DoGreen, and/or DoBlue	in the	flags  member  of  the
       XColor  structure.  If the colormap is an installed map for its screen,
       the changes are visible immediately.

       XStoreColor can generate	BadAccess, BadColor, and BadValue errors.

       The XStoreNamedColor function looks up the named	color with respect  to
       the  screen  associated	with the colormap and stores the result	in the
       specified colormap.  The	pixel argument determines  the	entry  in  the
       colormap.   The	flags argument determines which	of the red, green, and
       blue components are set.	 You can set this member to the	bitwise	inclu-
       sive OR of the bits DoRed, DoGreen, and DoBlue.	If the color  name  is
       not  in the Host	Portable Character Encoding, the result	is implementa-
       tion-dependent.	Use of uppercase or lowercase does not matter.	If the
       specified pixel is not a	valid index into the colormap, a BadValue  er-
       ror  results.  If the specified pixel either is unallocated or is allo-
       cated read-only,	a BadAccess error results.

       XStoreNamedColor	can generate BadAccess,	BadColor,  BadName,  and  Bad-
       Value 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  Col-
		 ormap.

       BadName	 A font	or color of the	specified name does not	exist.

       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.
