xcb_create_gc(3)

NAME
xcb_create_gc - Creates a graphics context

SYNOPSIS
#include <xcb/xproto.h>

  Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_create_gc(xcb_connection_t *conn, xcb_gcontext_t cid, xcb_drawable_t drawable, uint32_t value_mask, const void *value_list);

REQUEST ARGUMENTS

conn
    The XCB connection to X11.

cid The ID with which you will refer to the graphics context, created by xcb_generate_id.

drawable
    Drawable to get the root/depth from.

value_mask
    TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

value_list
    TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

DESCRIPTION
Creates a graphics context. The graphics context can be used with any drawable that has the same root and depth as the specified drawable.

RETURN VALUE
Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.

If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_create_gc_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

ERRORS

xcb_alloc_error_t
    The X server could not allocate the requested resources (no memory?).

xcb_drawable_error_t
    The specified drawable (Window or Pixmap) does not exist.
