XmGetPixmapByDepth(3)	    Library Functions Manual	   XmGetPixmapByDepth(3)

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

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

DESCRIPTION
     XmGetPixmapByDepth 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. Applications should use XmDestroyPixmap when  the  pixmap  is  no
     longer needed.

     screen    Specifies the display screen on which the pixmap is to be drawn

     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

     depth     Specifies the depth of the pixmap

     If  a  matching pixmap is not found, image_name is used to perform a lookup
     in the image 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, 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, con-
     verted 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
     XmGetPixmapByDepth  opens	the  file  as  specified.  Otherwise, image_name
     specifies a filename.  In this case, XmGetPixmapByDepth 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 XAP-
     PLRESDIR environment variable is set.  The default search path  contains  a
     lot  of  directories.  Therefore, XmGetPixmapByDepth 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_SUP-
     PORT  and JPEG_SUPPORT macros should be checked correspondingly.)	The XBM-
     LANGPATH specifies the path for both XBM, XPM,  PNG  and  JPEG  files.  XPM
     files are described in more detail later in this reference page.

     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  XmGetPixmapByDepth  is substituted for %B.  It can also contain
     the substitution 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.

     The XPM file format is used for storing or getting back colored  X  pixmaps
     from files. The XPM library is provided as unsupported with Motif. To build
     applications  without  XPM, use the NO_XPM macro.	The following shows both
     XBM and XPM files, respectively, for a plaid pattern.

     corresponding to image_name cannot be found.
