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 definition
	       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, DoGreen, and/or DoBlue
     in  the  flags  member of the XColor structures.  If the colormap is an in-
     stalled map for its screen, the changes are visible  immediately.	 XStore-
     Colors  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 either is unallocated or is allocated  read-
     only,  a  BadAccess error results.  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 inclusive OR of the bits
     DoRed, DoGreen, and DoBlue.  If the color name is not in the Host	Portable
     Character	Encoding, the result is implementation-dependent.  Use of upper-
     case or lowercase does not matter.  If the specified pixel is not	a  valid
     index  into the colormap, a BadValue error results.  If the specified pixel
     either is unallocated or is allocated read-only, a BadAccess error results.

     XStoreNamedColor can generate BadAccess, BadColor,  BadName,  and	BadValue
     errors.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadAccess
	       A  client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not al-
	       ready 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 Colormap.

     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 argu-
	       ment, the full range defined by the argument's type is  accepted.
	       Any  argument  defined as a set of alternatives can generate this
	       error.
