xcb_change_window_attributes(3)	 XCB Requests  xcb_change_window_attributes(3)

NAME
       xcb_change_window_attributes - change window attributes

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<xcb/xproto.h>

   Request function

       xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_change_window_attributes(xcb_connection_t *conn,
	      xcb_window_t window, uint32_t value_mask,	const
	      void *value_list);

REQUEST	ARGUMENTS
       conn	 The XCB connection to X11.

       window	 The window to change.

       value_mask
		 One of	the following values:

		 XCB_CW_BACK_PIXMAP
			   Overrides  the default background-pixmap. The back-
			   ground pixmap and window must have  the  same  root
			   and	same  depth.  Any size pixmap can be used, al-
			   though some sizes may be faster than	others.

			   If XCB_BACK_PIXMAP_NONE is  specified,  the	window
			   has no defined background.  The server may fill the
			   contents  with the previous screen contents or with
			   contents of its own choosing.

			   If  XCB_BACK_PIXMAP_PARENT_RELATIVE	is  specified,
			   the	parent's  background  is  used,	but the	window
			   must	have the same depth as the parent (or a	 Match
			   error   results).	 The  parent's	background  is
			   tracked, and	the current version is used each  time
			   the window background is required.

		 XCB_CW_BACK_PIXEL
			   Overrides  BackPixmap.  A  pixmap of	undefined size
			   filled with the specified background	pixel is  used
			   for	the  background.  Range-checking  is  not per-
			   formed, the background pixel	is  truncated  to  the
			   appropriate number of bits.

		 XCB_CW_BORDER_PIXMAP
			   Overrides  the  default  border-pixmap.  The	border
			   pixmap and window must have the same	root  and  the
			   same	 depth.	 Any size pixmap can be	used, although
			   some	sizes may be faster than others.

			   The special value  XCB_COPY_FROM_PARENT  means  the
			   parent's   border   pixmap  is  copied  (subsequent
			   changes to the parent's border attribute do not af-
			   fect	the child), but	the window must	have the  same
			   depth as the	parent.

		 XCB_CW_BORDER_PIXEL
			   Overrides  BorderPixmap. A pixmap of	undefined size
			   filled with the specified border pixel is used  for
			   the	border.	Range checking is not performed	on the
			   border-pixel	value, it is truncated to  the	appro-
			   priate number of bits.

		 XCB_CW_BIT_GRAVITY
			   Defines  which  region  of the window should	be re-
			   tained if the window	is resized.

		 XCB_CW_WIN_GRAVITY
			   Defines how the window should  be  repositioned  if
			   the parent is resized (see ConfigureWindow).

		 XCB_CW_BACKING_STORE
			   A  backing-store  of	 WhenMapped advises the	server
			   that	maintaining contents of	obscured regions  when
			   the	window	is mapped would	be beneficial. A back-
			   ing-store of	Always advises the server  that	 main-
			   taining  contents  even when	the window is unmapped
			   would be beneficial.	In this	case, the  server  may
			   generate  an	exposure event when the	window is cre-
			   ated. A value of NotUseful advises the server  that
			   maintaining	contents  is  unnecessary,  although a
			   server may still choose to maintain contents	 while
			   the window is mapped. Note that if the server main-
			   tains  contents,  then  the	server should maintain
			   complete contents not just the  region  within  the
			   parent  boundaries,	even  if  the window is	larger
			   than	its parent. While the  server  maintains  con-
			   tents,  exposure events will	not normally be	gener-
			   ated, but the server	may stop maintaining  contents
			   at any time.

		 XCB_CW_BACKING_PLANES
			   The	backing-planes	indicates (with	bits set to 1)
			   which bit planes of the window  hold	 dynamic  data
			   that	must be	preserved in backing-stores and	during
			   save-unders.

		 XCB_CW_BACKING_PIXEL
			   The	backing-pixel  specifies  what value to	use in
			   planes not covered by backing-planes. The server is
			   free	to save	only the specified bit planes  in  the
			   backing-store  or save-under	and regenerate the re-
			   maining planes with the specified pixel value.  Any
			   bits	 beyond	 the  specified	depth of the window in
			   these values	are simply ignored.

		 XCB_CW_OVERRIDE_REDIRECT
			   The override-redirect  specifies  whether  map  and
			   configure requests on this window should override a
			   SubstructureRedirect	 on  the  parent, typically to
			   inform a window manager not to tamper with the win-
			   dow.

		 XCB_CW_SAVE_UNDER
			   If 1, the server is advised that when  this	window
			   is  mapped,	saving	the contents of	windows	it ob-
			   scures would	be beneficial.

		 XCB_CW_EVENT_MASK
			   The event-mask defines which	events the  client  is
			   interested  in  for	this window (or	for some event
			   types, inferiors of the window).

		 XCB_CW_DONT_PROPAGATE
			   The	do-not-propagate-mask  defines	which	events
			   should  not	be propagated to ancestor windows when
			   no client has the event type	selected in this  win-
			   dow.

		 XCB_CW_COLORMAP
			   The	colormap  specifies the	colormap that best re-
			   flects the true colors of the window. Servers capa-
			   ble of supporting multiple hardware	colormaps  may
			   use this information, and window man- agers may use
			   it  for InstallColormap requests. The colormap must
			   have	the same visual	type and root  as  the	window
			   (or	a  Match  error	results). If CopyFromParent is
			   specified, the parent's colormap is copied  (subse-
			   quent changes to the	parent's colormap attribute do
			   not	affect	the  child).  However, the window must
			   have	the same visual	type as	the parent (or a Match
			   error results), and the parent must not have	a col-
			   ormap of None (or a Match error  results).  For  an
			   explanation	of None, see FreeColormap request. The
			   colormap is copied by sharing the  colormap	object
			   between  the	 child and the parent, not by making a
			   complete copy of the	colormap contents.

		 XCB_CW_CURSOR
			   If a	cursor is specified, it	will be	used  whenever
			   the	pointer	 is  in	 the window. If	None is	speci-
			   fied, the parent's cursor will  be  used  when  the
			   pointer  is	in  the	 window, and any change	in the
			   parent's cursor will	cause an immediate  change  in
			   the displayed cursor.

       value_list
		 Values	 for  each  of the attributes specified	in the bitmask
		 value_mask. The order has to correspond to the	order of  pos-
		 sible value_mask bits.	See the	example.

DESCRIPTION
       Changes	the  attributes	specified by value_mask	for the	specified win-
       dow.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if	any) have to be	handled	in the
       event loop.

       If you want to handle errors directly with  xcb_request_check  instead,
       use  xcb_change_window_attributes_checked.  See xcb-requests(3) for de-
       tails.
