XCopyArea(3)			 XLIB FUNCTIONS 		    XCopyArea(3)

NAME
     XCopyArea, XCopyPlane - copy areas

SYNTAX
     int  XCopyArea(Display  *display,	Drawable  src, Drawable dest, GC gc, int
	    src_x, int src_y, unsigned int width, unsigned height,  int  dest_x,
	    int dest_y);

     int  XCopyPlane(Display  *display,  Drawable src, Drawable dest, GC gc, int
	    src_x, int src_y, unsigned width, unsigned height, int  dest_x,  int
	    dest_y, unsigned long plane);

ARGUMENTS
     dest_x
     dest_y    Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin
	       of the destination rectangle and specify its upper-left corner.

     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     gc        Specifies the GC.

     plane     Specifies the bit plane.  You must set exactly one bit to 1.

     src
     dest      Specify the source and destination rectangles to be combined.

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

     width
     height    Specify	the  width  and height, which are the dimensions of both
	       the source and destination rectangles.

DESCRIPTION
     The XCopyArea function combines the specified rectangle  of  src  with  the
     specified	rectangle  of  dest.   The drawables must have the same root and
     depth, or a BadMatch error results.

     If regions of the source rectangle are obscured and have not been	retained
     in  backing  store or if regions outside the boundaries of the source draw-
     able are specified, those regions are not copied.	Instead,  the  following
     occurs  on all corresponding destination regions that are either visible or
     are retained in backing store.  If the destination is a window with a back-
     ground other than None, corresponding regions of the destination are  tiled
     with  that  background  (with  plane-mask of all ones and GXcopy function).
     Regardless of tiling or whether the destination is a window or a pixmap, if
     graphics-exposures is True, then GraphicsExpose events for all  correspond-
     ing  destination  regions are generated.  If graphics-exposures is True but
     no GraphicsExpose events are generated,  a  NoExpose  event  is  generated.
     Note that by default graphics-exposures is True in new GCs.

     This  function  uses  these GC components: function, plane-mask, subwindow-
     mode, graphics-exposures, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.

     XCopyArea can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and BadMatch errors.

     The XCopyPlane function uses a single bit plane  of  the  specified  source
     rectangle	combined with the specified GC to modify the specified rectangle
     of dest.  The drawables must have the same root but need not have the  same
     depth.   If  the  drawables do not have the same root, a BadMatch error re-
     sults.  If plane does not have exactly one bit set to 1 and  the  value  of
     plane  is	not less than %2 sup n%, where n is the depth of src, a BadValue
     error results.

     Effectively, XCopyPlane forms a pixmap of the same depth as  the  rectangle
     of  dest and with a size specified by the source region.  It uses the fore-
     ground/background pixels in the GC (foreground everywhere the bit plane  in
     src  contains  a  bit  set to 1, background everywhere the bit plane in src
     contains a bit set to 0) and the equivalent of a CopyArea protocol  request
     is  performed  with  all  the  same  exposure  semantics.	This can also be
     thought of as using the specified region of the source bit plane as a stip-
     ple with a fill-style of FillOpaqueStippled for filling a rectangular  area
     of the destination.

     This  function  uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, foreground,
     background, subwindow-mode, graphics-exposures, clip-x-origin,  clip-y-ori-
     gin, and clip-mask.

     XCopyPlane can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadDrawable
	       A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or
	       Pixmap.

     BadGC     A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext.

     BadMatch  An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.

     BadMatch  Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range
	       but fails to match in some other way required by the request.

     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.
