DESCRIPTION

These procedures are identical to the Xlib procedures XCreatePixmap
and XFreePixmap, except that they have extra code to manage X
resource identifiers so that identifiers for deleted pixmaps can be
reused in the future. It is important for Tk applications to use
these procedures rather than XCreatePixmap and XFreePixmap;
otherwise long-running applications may run out of resource
identifiers.

Tk_GetPixmap creates a pixmap suitable for drawing in d, with
dimensions given by width, height, and depth, and returns its
identifier. Tk_FreePixmap destroys the pixmap given by pixmap and
makes its resource identifier available for reuse.
