XClearArea(3)			 XLIB FUNCTIONS 		   XClearArea(3)

NAME
     XClearArea, XClearWindow - clear area or window

SYNTAX
     int  XClearArea(Display  *display,  Window w, int x, int y, unsigned width,
	    unsigned height, Bool exposures);

     int XClearWindow(Display *display, Window w);

ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     exposures Specifies a Boolean value that indicates if Expose events are  to
	       be generated.

     w	       Specifies the window.

     width
     height    Specify	the  width  and  height, which are the dimensions of the
	       rectangle.

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

DESCRIPTION
     The XClearArea function paints a rectangular area in the  specified  window
     according to the specified dimensions with the window's background pixel or
     pixmap.   The  subwindow-mode  effectively  is ClipByChildren.  If width is
     zero, it is replaced with the current width of  the  window  minus  x.   If
     height  is zero, it is replaced with the current height of the window minus
     y.  If the window has a defined background tile, the rectangle  clipped  by
     any  children is filled with this tile.  If the window has background None,
     the contents of the window are not changed.  In either case,  if  exposures
     is True, one or more Expose events are generated for regions of the rectan-
     gle  that	are either visible or are being retained in a backing store.  If
     you specify a window whose class is InputOnly, a BadMatch error results.

     XClearArea can generate BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.

     The XClearWindow function clears the entire area in  the  specified  window
     and  is  equivalent  to XClearArea (display, w, 0, 0, 0, 0, False).  If the
     window has a defined background tile, the rectangle is tiled with a  plane-
     mask  of  all ones and GXcopy function.  If the window has background None,
     the contents of the window are not changed.  If you specify a window  whose
     class is InputOnly, a BadMatch error results.

     XClearWindow can generate BadMatch and BadWindow errors.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadMatch  An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.

     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.

     BadWindow
	       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
