SYNOPSIS
#include <xcb/xproto.h>
Request function
xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_create_pixmap(xcb_connection_t *conn,
uint8_t depth, xcb_pixmap_t pid, xcb_drawable_t drawable,
uint16_t width, uint16_t height);
REQUEST ARGUMENTS
conn The XCB connection to X11.
depth TODO
pid The ID with which you will refer to the new pixmap, created by
xcb_generate_id.
drawable Drawable to get the screen from.
width The width of the new pixmap.
height The height of the new pixmap.
DESCRIPTION
Creates a pixmap. The pixmap can only be used on the same screen as
drawable is on and only with drawables of the same depth.
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_pixmap_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
ERRORS
xcb_alloc_error_t
The X server could not allocate the requested resources (no
memory?).
