NAME

       XcmsStoreColor, XcmsStoreColors - set colors

SYNTAX

       Status XcmsStoreColor(Display *display, Colormap colormap, XcmsColor *color);

       Status  XcmsStoreColors(Display  *display,  Colormap  colormap,  XcmsColor  colors[],  int
              ncolors, Bool compression_flags_return[]);

ARGUMENTS

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       color     Specifies the color cell and the color  to  store.   Values  specified  in  this
                 XcmsColor structure remain unchanged on return.

       colors    Specifies the color specification array of XcmsColor structures, each specifying
                 a color cell and the color to store in that cell.  Values specified in the array
                 remain unchanged upon return.

       colormap  Specifies the colormap.

       compression_flags_return
                 Returns an array of Boolean values indicating compression status.  If a non-NULL
                 pointer is  supplied,  each  element  of  the  array  is  set  to  True  if  the
                 corresponding  color  was  compressed  and  False  otherwise.   Pass NULL if the
                 compression status is not useful.

       ncolors   Specifies the number of XcmsColor structures in the color-specification array.

DESCRIPTION

       The XcmsStoreColor function converts the color specified in the XcmsColor  structure  into
       RGB values.  It then uses this RGB specification in an XColor structure, whose three flags
       DoGreen, and DoBlue) are set, in a call to XStoreColor to change the color cell  specified
       by  the  pixel  member of the XcmsColor structure.  This pixel value must be a valid index
       for the specified colormap, and the color cell specified by the  pixel  value  must  be  a
       read/write  cell.   If the pixel value is not a valid index, a BadValue error results.  If
       the color cell is unallocated or is allocated read-only, a BadAccess  error  results.   If
       the colormap is an installed map for its screen, the changes are visible immediately.

       Note  that  XStoreColor  has  no return value; therefore, an XcmsSuccess return value from
       this function indicates that the conversion to RGB succeeded and the call  to  XStoreColor
       was made.  To obtain the actual color stored, use XcmsQueryColor.  Because of the screen's
       hardware limitations or gamut compression, the color stored in the  colormap  may  not  be
       identical to the color specified.

       XcmsStoreColor can generate BadAccess, BadColor, and BadValue errors.

       The  XcmsStoreColors  function  converts  the  colors  specified in the array of XcmsColor
       structures into RGB values and then uses these RGB specifications  in  XColor  structures,
       whose  three  flags  DoGreen, and DoBlue) are set, in a call to XStoreColors to change the
       color cells specified by the pixel member of the corresponding XcmsColor structure.   Each
       pixel value must be a valid index for the specified colormap, and the color cell specified
       by each pixel value must be a read/write cell.  If a pixel value is not a valid  index,  a
       BadValue  error  results.   If  a  color  cell is unallocated or is allocated read-only, a
       BadAccess error results.  If more than one pixel is in error, the one that  gets  reported
       is arbitrary.  If the colormap is an installed map for its screen, the changes are visible
       immediately.

       Note that XStoreColors has no return value; therefore, an XcmsSuccess  return  value  from
       this function indicates that conversions to RGB succeeded and the call to XStoreColors was
       made.  To obtain the actual colors stored, use XcmsQueryColors.  Because of  the  screen's
       hardware  limitations  or  gamut compression, the colors stored in the colormap may not be
       identical to the colors specified.

       XcmsStoreColors can generate BadAccess, BadColor, and BadValue errors.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAccess A client attempted to free a color map entry that it did not already allocate.

       BadAccess A client attempted to store into a read-only color map entry.

       BadColor  A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.

       BadValue  Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted  by  the  request.
                 Unless  a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined by
                 the argument's type is accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of  alternatives
                 can generate this error.
