.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
||
.SS XpmCreateBufferFromPixmap
|
||
.PP
|
||
.BR XpmCreateBufferFromPixmap ()
|
||
creates an XPM buffer from a Pixmap.
|
||
The
|
||
.BR XpmCreateBufferFromPixmap ()
|
||
function works as
|
||
.BR XpmWriteFileFromPixmap (__libmansuffix__),
|
||
it just calls
|
||
.BR XpmCreateBufferFromImage ()
|
||
instead of
|
||
.BR XpmWriteFileFromImage (__libmansuffix__).
|
||
Once again, the caller should free the buffer using
|
||
.BR XpmFree (__libmansuffix__)
|
||
when finished.
|
||
.PP
|
||
As a convenience, the
|
||
.BR XpmReadFileToBuffer (__libmansuffix__)
|
||
and
|
||
.BR XpmWriteFileFromBuffer (__libmansuffix__)
|
||
functions are provided to copy a file to a buffer
|
||
and to write a file from a buffer. Thus for instance one may decide to use
|
||
.BR XpmCreateBufferFromPixmap (),
|
||
.BR XpmWriteFileFromBuffer (__libmansuffix__),
|
||
and
|
||
.BR XpmFree (__libmansuffix__)
|
||
instead of
|
||
.BR XpmWriteFileFromPixmap (__libmansuffix__).
|
||
On some systems this may lead to a performance improvement, since the
|
||
processing will be performed in memory, but it uses more memory.
|
||
|
||
.SS XpmCreateBufferFromImage
|
||
.PP
|
||
The
|
||
.BR XpmCreateBufferFromImage ()
|
||
function works as
|
||
.BR XpmWriteFileFromImage (__libmansuffix__),
|
||
it just writes to a malloc’ed buffer instead of to a file.
|
||
The caller should free the buffer using
|
||
.BR XpmFree (__libmansuffix__)
|
||
when finished.
|
||
|
||
.SS XpmCreateBufferFromXpmImage.
|
||
.PP
|
||
To create an XPM buffer from an XpmImage, use
|
||
.BR XpmCreateBufferFromXpmImage ().
|
||
The
|
||
.BR XpmCreateBufferFromXpmImage ()
|
||
function writes out the given image to a single block malloc’ed buffer
|
||
in XPM format.
|
||
If insufficient working storage is allocated, it returns
|
||
.BR XpmNoMemory,
|
||
and returns
|
||
.B XpmSuccess
|
||
on success.
|
||
If the passed XpmInfo structure pointer is not NULL,
|
||
.BR XpmCreateBufferFromXpmImage ()
|
||
looks for the following attributes: XpmComments, XpmExtensions, and XpmHotspot,
|
||
and writes the related information out as well.
|
||
The caller should free the buffer using
|
||
.BR XpmFree (__libmansuffix__)
|
||
when finished.
