DESCRIPTION

       When Tk creates a new window it assigns it the  default  visual  characteristics  (visual,
       depth,  and  colormap)  for  its screen.  Tk_SetWindowVisual may be called to change them.
       Tk_SetWindowVisual must be called before the window has actually been created in  X  (e.g.
       before  Tk_MapWindow  or  Tk_MakeWindowExist has been invoked for the window).  The safest
       thing is to call Tk_SetWindowVisual immediately after calling Tk_CreateWindow.   If  tkwin
       has  already  been  created before Tk_SetWindowVisual is called then it returns 0 and does
       not make any changes;  otherwise it returns 1 to  signify  that  the  operation  completed
       successfully.

       Note:   Tk_SetWindowVisual  should  not  be  called  if you just want to change a window's
       colormap without changing its visual or depth; call Tk_SetWindowColormap instead.
