XGetVisualInfo(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XGetVisualInfo(3)
NAME
XGetVisualInfo, XMatchVisualInfo, XVisualIDFromVisual, XVisualInfo -
obtain visual information and visual structure
SYNTAX
XVisualInfo *XGetVisualInfo(Display *
display, long
vinfo_mask,
XVisualInfo *
vinfo_template, int *
nitems_return);
Status XMatchVisualInfo(Display *
display, int
screen, int
depth, int
class, XVisualInfo *
vinfo_return);
VisualID XVisualIDFromVisual(Visual *
visual);
ARGUMENTS
class Specifies the class of the screen.
depth Specifies the depth of the screen.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
nitems_return Returns the number of matching visual structures.
screen Specifies the screen.
visual Specifies the visual type.
vinfo_mask Specifies the visual mask value.
vinfo_return Returns the matched visual information.
vinfo_template Specifies the visual attributes that are to be used in
matching the visual structures.
DESCRIPTION
The
XGetVisualInfo function returns a list of visual structures that
have attributes equal to the attributes specified by vinfo_template.
If no visual structures match the template using the specified
vinfo_mask,
XGetVisualInfo returns a NULL. To free the data returned
by this function, use
XFree.
The
XMatchVisualInfo function returns the visual information for a
visual that matches the specified depth and class for a screen.
Because multiple visuals that match the specified depth and class can
exist, the exact visual chosen is undefined. If a visual is found,
XMatchVisualInfo returns nonzero and the information on the visual to
vinfo_return. Otherwise, when a visual is not found,
XMatchVisualInfo returns zero.
The
XVisualIDFromVisual function returns the visual ID for the
specified visual type.

The
XVisualInfo structure contains:
