		 Specifies the destination image.

       dest_x
       dest_y	 Specify the x and y coordinates, which	are  relative  to  the
		 origin	 of the	drawable and are the coordinates of the	subim-
		 age or	which are relative to the origin  of  the  destination

       width
       height	 Specify the width and height of the  subimage,	 which	define
		 the dimensions	of the rectangle.

       x
       y	 Specify  the  x  and y	coordinates, which are relative	to the

DESCRIPTION
       The XPutImage function combines an image	with a rectangle of the	speci-
       fied  drawable.	 The section of	the image defined by the src_x,	src_y,
       width, and height arguments is drawn on the specified part of the draw-
       able.  If XYBitmap format is used, the depth of the image must be  one,
       or  a  BadMatch	error results.	The foreground pixel in	the GC defines
       the source for the one bits in the image, and the background pixel  de-
       fines  the  source  for	the  zero bits.	 For XYPixmap and ZPixmap, the
       depth of	the image must match the depth of the drawable,	or a  BadMatch
       error results.

       If  the	characteristics	 of  the  image	 (for  example,	byte_order and
       bitmap_unit) differ from	what the server	requires, XPutImage  automati-
       cally makes the appropriate conversions.

       This  function  uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, subwin-
       dow-mode, clip-x-origin,	clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.	It  also  uses
       these GC	mode-dependent components: foreground and background.

       XPutImage  can  generate	BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue er-
       rors.

       The XGetImage function returns a	pointer	to an XImage structure.	  This
       structure  provides you with the	contents of the	specified rectangle of
       the drawable in the format you specify.	If the format argument is XYP-
       ixmap, the image	contains  only	the  bit  planes  you  passed  to  the
       plane_mask argument.  If	the plane_mask argument	only requests a	subset
       of  the	planes of the display, the depth of the	returned image will be
       the number of planes requested.	If the	format	argument  is  ZPixmap,
       XGetImage  returns  as zero the bits in all planes not specified	in the
       plane_mask argument.  The function performs no range  checking  on  the
       values in plane_mask and	ignores	extraneous bits.

       XGetImage  returns  the	depth  of the image to the depth member	of the
       XImage structure.  The depth of the image  is  as  specified  when  the
       drawable	 was  created,	except	when getting a subset of the planes in
       XYPixmap	format,	when the depth is given	by the number of bits set to 1
       in plane_mask.

       If the drawable is a pixmap, the	given rectangle	must  be  wholly  con-
       tained within the pixmap, or a BadMatch error results.  If the drawable
       is  a window, the window	must be	viewable, and it must be the case that
       if there	were no	inferiors or overlapping windows, the  specified  rec-
       tangle  of  the	window would be	fully visible on the screen and	wholly
       contained within	the outside edges of the window, or a  BadMatch	 error
       results.	  Note that the	borders	of the window can be included and read
       with this request.  If the window has backing-store, the	 backing-store
       contents	 are  returned	for regions of the window that are obscured by
       noninferior windows.  If	the window does	not  have  backing-store,  the
       returned	contents of such obscured regions are undefined.  The returned
       contents	 of visible regions of inferiors of a different	depth than the
       specified window's depth	are also undefined.  The pointer cursor	 image
       is not included in the returned contents.  If a problem occurs, XGetIm-
       age returns NULL.

       XGetImage can generate BadDrawable, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.

       The  XGetSubImage function updates dest_image with the specified	subim-
       age in the same manner as XGetImage.  If	the format  argument  is  XYP-
       ixmap,  the  image  contains  only  the	bit  planes  you passed	to the
       plane_mask argument.  If	the format argument is	ZPixmap,  XGetSubImage
       returns	as zero	the bits in all	planes not specified in	the plane_mask
       argument.  The function performs	no range checking  on  the  values  in
       plane_mask and ignores extraneous bits.	As a convenience, XGetSubImage
       returns a pointer to the	same XImage structure specified	by dest_image.

       The  depth of the destination XImage structure must be the same as that
       of the drawable.	 If the	specified subimage does	not fit	at the	speci-
       fied  location on the destination image,	the right and bottom edges are
       clipped.	 If the	drawable is a pixmap,  the  given  rectangle  must  be
       wholly  contained  within  the pixmap, or a BadMatch error results.  If
       the drawable is a window, the window must be viewable, and it  must  be
       the  case  that	if there were no inferiors or overlapping windows, the
       specified rectangle of the window would be fully	visible	on the	screen
       and  wholly contained within the	outside	edges of the window, or	a Bad-
       Match error results.  If	the window has backing-store, then  the	 back-
       ing-store  contents are returned	for regions of the window that are ob-
       scured by noninferior windows.  If the window does  not	have  backing-
       store,  the  returned  contents of such obscured	regions	are undefined.
       The returned contents of	visible	regions	of inferiors  of  a  different
       depth than the specified	window's depth are also	undefined.  If a prob-
       lem occurs, XGetSubImage	returns	NULL.

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

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadDrawable
		 A value for a Drawable	argument does not name a defined  Win-
		 dow or	Pixmap.

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

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