XmGetPixmap(3)		    Library Functions Manual		  XmGetPixmap(3)

NAME
     XmGetPixmap -- A pixmap caching function that generates a pixmap, stores it
     in a pixmap cache, and returns the pixmap

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Xm/Xm.h>
     Pixmap XmGetPixmap(
     Screen *screen,
     char *image_name,
     Pixel foreground,
     Pixel background);

DESCRIPTION
     XmGetPixmap uses the parameter data to perform a lookup in the pixmap cache
     to see if a pixmap has already been generated that matches the data. If one
     is  found, a reference count is incremented and the pixmap is returned. Ap-
     plications should use XmDestroyPixmap when the pixmap is no longer needed.

     screen    Specifies the display screen on which the pixmap is to be  drawn.
	       The depth of the pixmap is the default depth for this screen.

     image_nameSpecifies the name of the image to be used to generate the pixmap

     foregroundCombines the image with the foreground color to create the pixmap
	       if the image referenced is a bit-per-pixel image

     backgroundCombines the image with the background color to create the pixmap
	       if the image referenced is a bit-per-pixel image

     If a pixmap is not found, image_name is used to perform a lookup in the im-
     age  cache.  If an image is found, it is used to generate the pixmap, which
     is then cached and returned.

     If an image is not found, the image_name is  used	as  a  filename,  and  a
     search  is  made for an X10 or X11 bitmap file. If it is found, the file is
     read, converted into an image, and cached in the image cache. The image  is
     then used to generate a pixmap, which is cached and returned.

     If  image_name  has  a leading slash (/), it specifies a full pathname, and
     XmGetPixmap opens the file as specified.  Otherwise, image_name specifies a
     filename.	In this case, XmGetPixmap looks for the file along a search path
     specified by the XBMLANGPATH environment variable or by  a  default  search
     path,  which varies depending on whether or not the XAPPLRESDIR environment
     variable is set.  The default search path contains a  lot	of  directories.
     Therefore,  XmGetPixmap  will need a relatively long time to search through
     all these directories for pixmaps and bitmaps. Applications that use a  lot
     of pixmaps and bitmaps will probably run more quickly if XBMLANGPATH is set
     to a short list of directories.  In addition to X bitmap files (XBM), Motif
     also  supports  XPM (X Pixmap) file formats and, from version 2.3, JPEG and
     PNG image formats.  (Note that support of JPEG and PNG image format  is  an
     optional  feature	of  Motif, in order to check if current version supports
     PNG ang JPEG image formats the PNG_SUPPORT and JPEG_SUPPORT  macros  should
     be  checked  correspondingly.)  The XBMLANGPATH specifies the path for both
     XBM, XPM, PNG and JPEG files. Refer  to  the  XmGetPixmapByDepth  reference
     page for further details.

     The  XBMLANGPATH  environment variable specifies a search path for X bitmap
     files.  It can contain the substitution field %B, where the image_name  ar-
     gument  to XmGetPixmap is substituted for %B.  It can also contain the sub-
     stitution fields accepted by XtResolvePathname.  The substitution field  %T
     is always mapped to bitmaps, and %S is always mapped to NULL.

     If  XBMLANGPATH is not set but the environment variable XAPPLRESDIR is set,
     the following pathnames are searched:

	*  %B

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/%L/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/%l_%t/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/%l/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/%L/bitmaps/%B

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/%l_%t/bitmaps/%B

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/%l/bitmaps/%B

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/bitmaps/%B

	*  $HOME/bitmaps/%B

	*  $HOME/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%L/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%l_%t/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%l/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%L/bitmaps/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%l_%t/bitmaps/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%l/bitmaps/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/bitmaps/%B

	*  /usr/include/X11/bitmaps/%B

     If neither XBMLANGPATH nor XAPPLRESDIR is set, the following pathnames  are
     searched:

	*  %B

	*  $HOME/%L/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  $HOME/%l_%t/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  $HOME/%l/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  $HOME/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  $HOME/%L/bitmaps/%B

	*  $HOME/%l_%t/bitmaps/%B

	*  $HOME/%l/bitmaps/%B

	*  $HOME/bitmaps/%B

	*  $HOME/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%L/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%l_%t/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%l/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/bitmaps/%N/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%L/bitmaps/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%l_%t/bitmaps/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%l/bitmaps/%B

	*  /usr/lib/X11/bitmaps/%B

	*  /usr/include/X11/bitmaps/%B

     These  paths  are	defaults that vendors may change.  For example, a vendor
     may use different directories for /usr/lib/X11 and /usr/include/X11.

     The following substitutions are used in these paths:

     %B        The image name, from the image_name argument

     %N        The class name of the application

     %L        The display's language string.	This  string  is  influenced  by
	       XtSetLanguageProc.   The  default string is determined by calling
	       setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL).

     %l_%t     The language and territory component of	the  display's	language
	       string

     %l        The language component of the display's language string

     The contents of the file must conform to the rules for X11 bitmap files. In
     other words, Motif can read any X11 conformant bitmap file.

RETURN
     Returns a pixmap when successful; returns XmUNSPECIFIED_PIXMAP if the image
     corresponding to image_name cannot be found.
