XmtAllocColor(3) Library Functions Manual XmtAllocColor(3) NAME XmtAllocColor(), XmtAllocWidgetColor(), XmtFreeColor(), XmtFreeWidget- Color(), XmtStoreColor(), XmtStoreWidgetColor() - Xmt color allocation functions. SYNOPSIS #include <Xmt/Color.h> int XmtAllocColor(Widget w, Colormap colormap, Visual *visual, XmtColorTable colortable, String colorname, Pixel *color_return) int XmtAllocWidgetColor(Widget w, String colorname, Pixel *color_return) void XmtFreeColor(Widget w, Colormap colormap, Pixel color) void XmtFreeWidgetColor(Widget w, Pixel color) int XmtStoreColor(Widget w, Colormap colormap, Visual *visual, XmtColorTable colortable, String colorname, Pixel colorcell) int XmtStoreWidgetColor(Widget w, String colorname, Pixel colorcell) ARGUMENTS INPUTS w The widget for which the color is to be allocated or freed. colormap The colormap in which the color is to be allocated, or None to use the colormap of w. visual The visual of the colormap, used to determine if colors are being allocated for a monochrome display. Pass NULL to use the visual of w. colortable The XmtColorTable in which symbolic color names should be looked up, or NULL to use the default color table of the application. colorname The name of the color to be allocated. This may be a stan- dard X color name, or may use one of the enhanced Xmt color specification schemes. color For XmtFreeColor() and XmtFreeWidgetColor(), specifies a Pixel value previously returned by XmtAlloc Color() or XmtAllocWidgetColor(), respectively. colorcell For XmtStoreColor() and XmtStoreWidgetColor(), specifies a read/write color cell in colormap that the application has previously allocated. OUTPUTS color_return For XmtAllocColor() and XmtAllocWidgetColor(), returns an allocated pixel that contains the specified color. RETURNS XmtAllocColor(), XmtAllocWidgetColor(), XmtStoreColor() and Xmt- StoreWidgetColor() return 0 upon successful allocation and non- zero on failure. A return value of 1 means that color name was unrecognized or malformed, and a return value of 2 (for XmtAlloc- Color() and XmtAllocWidgetColor() only) means that the specified colormap was full. DESCRIPTION These functions allocate and free colors specified with the extended Xmt color name syntax. With these functions, colors may be specified by name, or by RGB components, as usual, but may also be specified by sym- bolic name, by HSL components, or as HSL deltas relative to a standard background or foreground color. Xmt color names may also provide fall- back colors for monochrome systems. See Chapter 4, Using Color, for an explanation of the Xmt color syntax. XmtAllocColor() allocates a shared, read-only color cell in colormap and returns it in color_return. This returned color cell will contain the color specified by colorname. Xmt AllocWidgetColor() is a simpli- fied version of the function that uses a default colormap, visual and colortable-it is equivalent to calling XmtAllocColor() with a NULL col- ormap, visual and color table XmtFreeColor() frees a color allocated with XmtAllocColor(), and Xmt- FreeWidgetColor() frees a color allocated with XmtAllocWidgetColor(). Many applications will allocated colors when the start up and will never need to free them. If your application allocates colors dynami- cally, however, you may need to free allocated color cells with these functions. XmtStoreColor() and XmtStoreWidgetColor() are analogs to XmtAlloc- Color() and XmtAllocWidgetColor(), but instead of allocated a shared color cell in a colormap, they store the specified color into the already allocated privated read/write color cell, specified by color- cell. The application is responsible for allocating this private color cell (with XAllocColorCells(), for example) and for freeing it with XFreeColors(). USAGE Many applications can handle all of their color needs through the resource database. Call XmtRegisterPixelConverter() to register a resource converter that will allow you to use the extended Xmt color specification syntax in your resource files.
