## 1. Introduction

The Xmu Library is a collection of miscellaneous (some might say random) utility functions that have been useful in building various applications and widgets. This library is required by the Athena Widgets.

## 2. Atom Functions

The use the functions and macros defined in this section, you should include the header file <X11/Xmu/Atoms.h>.
XA_ATOM_PAIR(d)
XA_CHARACTER_POSITION(d)
XA_CLASS(d)
XA_CLIENT_WINDOW(d)
XA_CLIPBOARD(d)
XA_COMPOUND_TEXT(d)
XA_DECNET_ADDRESS(d)
XA_DELETE(d)
XA_FILENAME(d)
XA_HOSTNAME(d)
XA_IP_ADDRESS(d)
XA_LENGTH(d)
XA_LIST_LENGTH(d)
XA_NAME(d)
XA_NET_ADDRESS(d)
XA_NULL(d)
XA_OWNER_OS(d)
XA_SPAN(d)
XA_TARGETS(d)
XA_TEXT(d)
XA_TIMESTAMP(d)
XA_USER(d)
XA_UTF8_STRING(d)

These macros take a display as argument and return an Atom. The name of the atom is obtained from the macro name by removing the leading characters ‘‘XA_’’. The Atom value is cached, such that subsequent requests do not cause another round-trip to the server.
AtomPtr XmuMakeAtom(name)
char* name;

name |  | specifies the atom name |

This function creates and initializes an opaque object, an AtomPtr, for an Atom with the given name. XmuInternAtom can be used to cache the Atom value for one or more displays.
char *XmuNameOfAtom(atom_ptr)
AtomPtr atom_ptr;

atom_ptr |  | specifies the AtomPtr |

The function returns the name of an AtomPtr.
Atom XmuInternAtom(d, atom_ptr)
Display *d;
AtomPtr atom_ptr;

d |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
atom_ptr |  | specifies the AtomPtr |

This function returns the Atom for an AtomPtr. The Atom is cached, such that subsequent requests do not cause another round-trip to the server.
char *XmuGetAtomName(d, atom)
Display *d;
Atom atom;

d |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
atom |  | specifies the atom whose name is desired |

This function returns the name of an Atom. The result is cached, such that subsequent requests do not cause another round-trip to the server.
void XmuInternStrings(d, names, count, atoms)
Display *d;
String *names;
Cardinal count;
Atom *atoms;

d |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
names |  | specifies the strings to intern |
count |  | specifies the number of strings |
atoms |  | returns the list of Atom values |

This function converts a list of atom names into Atom values. The results are cached, such that subsequent requests do not cause further round-trips to the server. The caller is responsible for preallocating the array pointed at by atoms.

## 3. Error Handler Functions

To use the functions defined in this section, you should include the header file <X11/Xmu/Error.h>.
int XmuPrintDefaultErrorMessage(dpy, event, fp)
Display *dpy;
XErrorEvent *event;
FILE *fp;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server
event |  | specifies the error
fp |  | specifies where to print the error message

This function prints an error message, equivalent to Xlib’s default error message for protocol errors. It returns a non-zero value if the caller should consider exiting, otherwise it returns 0. This function can be used when you need to write your own error handler, but need to print out an error from within that handler.
int XmuSimpleErrorHandler(dpy, errorp)
Display *dpy;
XErrorEvent *errorp;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
errorp |  | specifies the error |

This function ignores errors for BadWindow errors for XQueryTree and XGetWindowAttributes, and ignores BadDrawable errors for XGetGeometry; it returns 0 in those cases. Otherwise, it prints the default error message, and returns a non-zero value if the caller should consider exiting, and 0 if the caller should not exit.

## 4. System Utility Functions

To use the functions defined in this section, you should include the header file <X11/Xmu/SysUtil.h>.
int XmuGetHostname(buf, maxlen)
char *buf;
int maxlen;

buf |  | returns the host name |
maxlen |  | specifies the length of buf |

This function stores the null terminated name of the local host in buf, and returns length of the name. This function hides operating system differences, such as whether to call gethostname or uname.

## 5. Window Utility Functions

To use the functions defined in this section, you should include the header file <X11/Xmu/WinUtil.h>.
Screen *XmuScreenOfWindow(dpy, w)
Display *dpy;
Window w;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
w |  | specifies the window |

This function returns the Screen on which the specified window was created.
Window XmuClientWindow(dpy, win)
Display *dpy;
Window win;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
win |  | specifies the window |

This function finds a window, at or below the specified window, which has a WM_STATE property. If such a window is found, it is returned, otherwise the argument window is returned.
Bool XmuUpdateMapHints(dpy, w, hints)
Display *dpy;
Window w;
XSizeHints *hints;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
win |  | specifies the window |
hints |  | specifies the new hints, or NULL |

This function clears the PPosition and PSize flags and sets the USPosition and USSize flags in the hints structure, and then stores the hints for the window using XSetWMNormalHints and returns True. If NULL is passed for the hints structure, then the current hints are read back from the window using XGetWMNormalHints and are used instead, and True is returned; otherwise False is returned.

## 6. Cursor Utility Functions

To use the functions defined in this section, you should include the header file <X11/Xmu/CurUtil.h>.
int XmuCursorNameToIndex(name)
char *name;

name |  | specifies the name of the cursor |

This function takes the name of a standard cursor and returns its index in the standard cursor font. The cursor names are formed by removing the ‘‘XC_’’ prefix from the cursor defines listed in Appendix B of the Xlib manual.

## 7. Graphics Functions

To use the functions defined in this section, you should include the header file <X11/Xmu/Drawing.h>.
void XmuDrawRoundedRectangle(dpy, draw, gc, x, y, w, h, ew, eh)

eh |  | specifies the corner height |

This function draws a rounded rectangle, where x, y, w, h are the dimensions of the overall rectangle, and ew and eh are the sizes of a bounding box that the corners are drawn inside of; ew should be no more than half of w, and eh should be no more than half of h. The current GC line attributes control all attributes of the line.
void XmuFillRoundedRectangle(dpy, draw, gc, x, y, w, h, ew, eh)
Display *dpy;
Drawable draw;
GC gc;
int x, y, w, h, ew, eh;

y |  | specifies the upper left y coordinate |
w |  | specifies the rectangle width |
h |  | specifies the rectangle height |
ew |  | specifies the corner width |
eh |  | specifies the corner height |

This function draws a filled rounded rectangle, where x, y, w, h are the dimensions of the overall rectangle, and ew and eh are the sizes of a bounding box that the corners are drawn inside of; ew should be no more than half of w, and eh should be no more than half of h. The current GC fill settings control all attributes of the fill contents.
XmuDrawLogo(dpy, drawable, gcFore, gcBack, x, y, width, height)

This function draws the ‘‘official’’ X Window System logo. The bounding box of the logo in the drawable is given by x, y, width, and height. The logo itself is filled using gcFore, and the rest of the rectangle is filled using gcBack.
Pixmap XmuCreateStippledPixmap(screen, fore, back, depth)
Screen *screen;
Pixel fore, back;
unsigned int depth;

screen |  | specifies the screen the pixmap is created on
fore |  | specifies the foreground pixel value
back |  | specifies the background pixel value
depth |  | specifies the depth of the pixmap

This function creates a two pixel by one pixel stippled pixmap of specified depth on the specified screen. The pixmap is cached so that multiple requests share the same pixmap. The pixmap should be freed with XmuReleaseStippledPixmap to maintain correct reference counts.
void XmuReleaseStippledPixmap(screen, pixmap)
Screen *screen;
Pixmap pixmap;

screen |  | specifies the screen the pixmap was created on
pixmap |  | specifies the pixmap to free

This function frees a pixmap created with XmuCreateStippledPixmap.
int XmuReadBitmapData(fstream, width, height, datap, x_hot, y_hot)

height |  | returns the height of the bitmap |
datap |  | returns the parsed bitmap data |
x_hot |  | returns the x coordinate of the hotspot |
y_hot |  | returns the y coordinate of the hotspot |

This function reads a standard bitmap file description from the specified stream, and returns the parsed data in a format suitable for passing to XCreateBitmapFromData. The return value of the function has the same interpretation as the return value for XReadBitmapFile.
int XmuReadBitmapDataFromFile(filename, width, height, datap, x_hot, y_hot)
char *filename;
unsigned int *width, *height;
unsigned char **datap;
int *x_hot, *y_hot;

filename |  | specifies the file to read from |
width |  | returns the width of the bitmap |
height |  | returns the height of the bitmap |
datap |  | returns the parsed bitmap data |
x_hot |  | returns the x coordinate of the hotspot |
y_hot |  | returns the y coordinate of the hotspot |

This function reads a standard bitmap file description from the specified file, and returns the parsed data in a format suitable for passing to XCreateBitmapFromData. The return value of the function has the same interpretation as the return value for XReadBitmapFile.
Pixmap XmuLocateBitmapFile(screen, name, srcname, srcnamelen, widthp, heightp, xhotp, yhotp)
Screen *screen;
char *name;
char *srcname;

srcnamelen | specifies the length of the srcname buffer
width | returns the width of the bitmap
height | returns the height of the bitmap
xhotp | returns the x coordinate of the hotspot
yhotp | returns the y coordinate of the hotspot

This function reads a file in standard bitmap file format, using XReadBitmapFile, and returns the created bitmap. The filename may be absolute, or relative to the global resource named bitmapFilePath with class BitmapFilePath. If the resource is not defined, the default value is the build symbol BITMAPDIR, which is typically "/usr/include/X11/bitmaps". If srcnamelen is greater than zero and srcname is not NULL, the null terminated filename will be copied into srcname. The size and hotspot of the bitmap are also returned.
Pixmap XmuCreatePixmapFromBitmap(dpy, d, bitmap, width, height, depth, fore, back)
Display *dpy;
Drawable d;
Pixmap bitmap;
unsigned int width, height;

fromVal |  | specifies the string to convert
toVal |  | returns the converted value

This function converts a string to a backing-store integer as defined in <X11/X.h>. The string "notUseful" converts to NotUseful, "whenMapped" converts to WhenMapped, and "always" converts to Always. The string "default" converts to the value Always+ WhenMapped+ NotUseful. The case of the string does not matter. To use this converter, include the following in your widget’s ClassInitialize procedure:

sizeof(Colormap)}
};

XtSetTypeConverter(XtRString, XtRColorCursor, XmuCvtStringToColorCursor,

|  | colorCursorConvertArgs, XtNumber(colorCursorConvertArgs), |

XtCacheByDisplay, NULL); The widget must recognize XtNpointerColor and XtNpointerColorBackground as resources, or specify other appropriate foreground and background resources. The widget’s Realize and SetValues methods must cause the converter to be invoked with the appropriate arguments when one of the foreground, background, or cursor resources has changed, or when the window is created, and must assign the cursor to the window of the widget.

This function reshapes the specified widget, using the Shape extension, to a rectangle, oval, ellipse, or rounded rectangle, as specified by shape_style ( XmuShapeRectangle, XmuShapeOval, XmuShapeEllipse, and XmuShapeRoundedRectangle, respectively). The shape is bounded by the outside edges of the rectangular extents of the widget. If the shape is a rounded rectangle, corner_width and corner_height specify the size of the bounding box that the corners are drawn inside of (see XmuFillRoundedRectangle); otherwise, corner_width and corner_height are ignored. The origin of the widget within its parent remains unchanged.
void XmuCvtStringToWidget(args, num_args, fromVal, toVal)
XrmValuePtr args;
Cardinal *num_args;
XrmValuePtr fromVal;
XrmValuePtr toVal;

args |  | this sole argument is the parent Widget |
num_args |  | this argument must be 1 |
fromVal |  | specifies the string to convert |
toVal |  | returns the converted value |

This function converts a string to an immediate child widget of the parent widget passed as an argument. Note that this converter only works for child widgets that have already been created; there is no lazy evaluation. The string is first compared against the names of the normal and popup children, and if a match is found the corresponding child is returned. If no match is found, the string is compared against the classes of the normal and popup children, and if a match is found the corresponding child is returned. The case of the string is significant. To use this converter, include the following in your widget’s ClassInitialize procedure:

static XtConvertArgRec parentCvtArg[] = {
{XtBaseOffset, (XtPointer)XtOffset(Widget, core.parent), sizeof(Widget)},
};

XtAddConverter(XtRString, XtRWidget, XmuCvtStringToWidget,

|  | parentCvtArg, XtNumber(parentCvtArg)); |

Boolean XmuNewCvtStringToWidget(dpy, args, num_args, fromVal, toVal, data)
Display *dpy;
XrmValue * args;
Cardinal *num_args;
XrmValue * fromVal;
XrmValue * toVal;
XtPointer *data;

dpy |  | the display to use for conversion warnings
args |  | this sole argument is the parent Widget
num_args |  | this argument must be a pointer to a Cardinal containing the value 1
fromVal |  | specifies the string to convert
toVal |  | returns the converted value
data |  | this argument is ignored

This converter is identical in functionality to XmuCvtStringToWidget, except that it is a new-style converter, allowing the specification of a cache type at the time of registration. Most widgets will not cache the conversion results, as the application may dynamically create and destroy widgets, which would cause cached values to become illegal. To use this converter, include the following in the widget’s class initialize procedure:

static XtConvertArgRec parentCvtArg[] = {
{XtWidgetBaseOffset, (XtPointer)XtOffsetOf(WidgetRec, core.parent),
sizeof(Widget)}
};

XtSetTypeConverter(XtRString, XtRWidget, XmuNewCvtStringToWidget,

|  | parentCvtArg, XtNumber(parentCvtArg), XtCacheNone, NULL); |

## 10. Character Set Functions

To use the functions defined in this section, you should include the header file <X11/Xmu/CharSet.h>.

The functions in this section are deprecated because they don’t work in most locales now supported by X11; the function XmbLookupString provides a better alternative.

char *dst, *src;

dst |  | returns the string copy |
src |  | specifies the string to copy |

This function copies a null terminated string from src to dst (including the null), changing all Latin-1 uppercase letters to lowercase. The string is assumed to be encoded using ISO 8859-1.
void XmuCopyISOLatin1Uppered(dst, src)
char *dst, *src;

dst |  | returns the string copy |
src |  | specifies the string to copy |

This function copies a null terminated string from src to dst (including the null), changing all Latin-1 lowercase letters to uppercase. The string is assumed to be encoded using ISO 8859-1.

## 11. Compound Text Functions

The functions defined in this section are for parsing Compound Text strings, decomposing them into individual segments. Definitions needed to use these routines are in the include file <X11/Xmu/Xct.h>.

The functions in this section are deprecated because they shift the burden for recently introduced locale encodings to the application. The use of the UTF8_STRING text encoding provides a better alternative.

A Compound Text string is represented as the following type:

| typedef unsigned char *XctString;

XctData XctCreate(string, length, flags)
XctString string;
int length;
XctFlags flags;

string |  | the Compound Text string |
length |  | the number of bytes in string |
flags |  | parsing control flags |

This function creates an XctData structure for parsing a Compound Text string. The string need not be null terminated. The following flags are defined to control parsing of the string:

XctSingleSetSegments -- This means that returned segments should contain characters from only one set (C0, C1, GL, GR). When this is requested, XctSegment is never returned by XctNextItem, instead XctC0Segment, XctC1Segment, XctGlSegment, and XctGRSegment are returned. C0 and C1 segments are always returned as singleton characters.

XctProvideExtensions -- This means that if the Compound Text string is from a higher version than this code is implemented to, then syntactically correct but unknown control sequences should be returned as XctExtension items by XctNextItem. If this flag is not set, and the Compound Text string version indicates that extensions cannot be ignored, then each unknown control sequence will be reported as an XctError.

XctAcceptC0Extensions -- This means that if the Compound Text string is from a higher version than this code is implemented to, then unknown C0 characters should be treated as if they were legal, and returned as C0 characters (regardless of how XctProvideExtensions is set) by XctNextItem. If this flag is not set, then all unknown C0 characters are treated according to XctProvideExtensions.

XctAcceptC1Extensions -- This means that if the Compound Text string is from a higher version than this code is implemented to, then unknown C1 characters should be treated as if they were legal, and returned as C1 characters (regardless of how XctProvideExtensions is set) by XctNextItem. If this flag is not set, then all unknown C1 characters are treated according to XctProvideExtensions.

XctHideDirection -- This means that horizontal direction changes should be reported as XctHorizontal items by XctNextItem. then direction changes are not returned as items, but the current direction is still maintained and reported for other items. The current direction is given as an enumeration, with the values XctUnspecified, XctLeftToRight, and XctRightToLeft.

XctFreeString -- This means that XctFree should free the Compound Text string that is passed to XctCreate. If this flag is not set, the string is not freed.

XctShiftMultiGRToGL -- This means that XctNextItem should translate GR segments on-the-fly into GL segments for the GR sets: GB2312.1980-1, JISX0208.1983-1, and KSC5601.1987-1.
void XctReset(data)
XctData data;

data |  | specifies the Compound Text structure |

This function resets the XctData structure to reparse the Compound Text string from the beginning.
XctResult XctNextItem(data)
XctData data;

data |  | specifies the Compound Text structure |

This function parses the next ‘‘item’’ from the Compound Text string. The return value indicates what kind of item is returned. The item itself, it’s length, and the current contextual state, are reported as components of the XctData structure. XctResult is an enumeration, with the following values:

XctSegment -- the item contains some mixture of C0, GL, GR, and C1 characters.

XctC0Segment -- the item contains only C0 characters.

XctGLSegment -- the item contains only GL characters.

XctC1Segment -- the item contains only C1 characters.

XctGRSegment -- the item contains only GR characters.

XctExtendedSegment -- the item contains an extended segment.

XctExtension -- the item is an unknown extension control sequence.

XctHorizontal -- the item indicates a change in horizontal direction or depth. The new direction and depth are recorded in the XctData structure.

XctEndOfText -- The end of the Compound Text string has been reached.

XctError -- the string contains a syntactic or semantic error; no further parsing should be performed.

The following state values are stored in the XctData structure:

| XctString item; | /* the action item */
| int item_length; | /* the length of item in bytes */
| int char_size; | /* the number of bytes per character in
|  | * item, with zero meaning variable */
| char *encoding; | /* the XLFD encoding name for item */
| XctHDirection horizontal;/* the direction of item */ |
| int horz_depth; | /* the current direction nesting depth */
| char *GL; | /* the "{I} F" string for the current GL */
| char *GL_encoding; | /* the XLFD encoding name for the current GL */
| int GL_set_size; | /* 94 or 96 */
| int GL_char_size; | /* the number of bytes per GL character */
| char *GR; | /* the "{I} F" string for the current GR */
| char *GR_encoding; | /* the XLFD encoding name the for current GR */
| int GR_set_size; | /* 94 or 96 */
| int GR_char_size; | /* the number of bytes per GR character */
| char *GLGR_encoding; | /* the XLFD encoding name for the current
|  | * GL+GR, if known */

void XctFree(data)
XctData data;

data |  | specifies the Compound Text structure |

This function frees all data associated with the XctData structure.

## 12. CloseDisplay Hook Functions

To use the functions defined in this section, you should include the header file <X11/Xmu/CloseHook.h>.
CloseHook XmuAddCloseDisplayHook(dpy, func, arg)
Display *dpy;
int (*func)();
caddr_t arg;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server
func |  | specifies the function to call at display close
arg |  | specifies arbitrary data to pass to func

This function adds a callback for the given display. When the display is closed, the given function will be called with the given display and argument as:

| (*func)(dpy, arg)

The function is declared to return an int even though the value is ignored, because some compilers have problems with functions returning void.

This routine returns NULL if it was unable to add the callback, otherwise it returns an opaque handle that can be used to remove or lookup the callback.
Bool XmuRemoveCloseDisplayHook(dpy, handle, func, arg)
Display *dpy;
CloseHook handle;
int (*func)();
caddr_t arg;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
handle |  | specifies the callback by id, or NULL |
func |  | specifies the callback by function |
arg |  | specifies the function data to match |

This function deletes a callback that has been added with XmuAddCloseDisplayHook. If handle is not NULL, it specifies the callback to remove, and the func and arg parameters are ignored. If handle is NULL, the first callback found to match the specified func and arg will be removed. Returns True if a callback was removed, else returns False.
Bool XmuLookupCloseDisplayHook(dpy, handle, func, arg)
Display *dpy;
CloseHook handle;
int (*func)();
caddr_t arg;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
handle |  | specifies the callback by id, or NULL |
func |  | specifies the callback by function |
arg |  | specifies the function data to match |

This function determines if a callback is installed. If handle is not NULL, it specifies the callback to look for, and the func and arg parameters are ignored. If handle is NULL, the function will look for any callback for the specified func and arg. Returns True if a matching callback exists, else returns False.

## 13. Display Queue Functions

To use the functions and types defined in this section, you should include the header file <X11/Xmu/DisplayQue.h>. It defines the following types:

typedef struct _XmuDisplayQueueEntry {

| struct _XmuDisplayQueueEntry *prev, *next; |
| Display *display; |
| CloseHook closehook; |
| caddr_t data; |

} XmuDisplayQueueEntry;

typedef struct _XmuDisplayQueue {

| int nentries;
| XmuDisplayQueueEntry *head, *tail;
| int (*closefunc)();
| int (*freefunc)();
| caddr_t data;

} XmuDisplayQueue;
XmuDisplayQueue *XmuDQCreate(closefunc, freefunc, data)
int (*closefunc)();
int (*freefunc)();
caddr_t data;

closefunc |  | specifies the close function |
freefunc |  | specifies the free function |
data |  | specifies private data for the functions |

This function creates and returns an empty XmuDisplayQueue (which is really just a set of displays, but is called a queue for historical reasons). The queue is initially empty, but displays can be added using XmuAddDisplay. The data value is simply stored in the queue for use by the closefunc and freefunc callbacks. Whenever a display in the queue is closed using XCloseDisplay, the closefunc (if non-NULL) is called with the queue and the display’s XmuDisplayQueueEntry as follows:

| (*closefunc)(queue, entry)

The freeproc (if non-NULL) is called whenever the last display in the queue is closed, as follows:

| (*freefunc)(queue)

The application is responsible for actually freeing the queue, by calling XmuDQDestroy.
XmuDisplayQueueEntry *XmuDQAddDisplay(q, dpy, data)
XmuDisplayQueue *q;
Display *dpy;
caddr_t data;

q |  | specifies the queue
dpy |  | specifies the display to add
data |  | specifies private data for the free function

This function adds the specified display to the queue. If successful, the queue entry is returned, otherwise NULL is returned. The data value is simply stored in the queue entry for use by the queue’s freefunc callback. This function does not attempt to prevent duplicate entries in the queue; the caller should use XmuDQLookupDisplay to determine if a display has already been added to a queue.
XmuDisplayQueueEntry *XmuDQLookupDisplay(q, dpy)
XmuDisplayQueue *q;
Display *dpy;

q |  | specifies the queue |
dpy |  | specifies the display to lookup |

This function returns the queue entry for the specified display, or NULL if the display is not in the queue.
XmuDQNDisplays(q)

This macro returns the number of displays in the specified queue.
Bool XmuDQRemoveDisplay(q, dpy)
XmuDisplayQueue *q;
Display *dpy;

q |  | specifies the queue |
dpy |  | specifies the display to remove |

This function removes the specified display from the specified queue. No callbacks are performed. If the display is not found in the queue, False is returned, otherwise True is returned.
Bool XmuDQDestroy(q, docallbacks)
XmuDisplayQueue *q;
Bool docallbacks;

q |  | specifies the queue to destroy |

docallbacks

| specifies whether close functions should be called

This function releases all memory associated with the specified queue. If docallbacks is True, then the queue’s closefunc callback (if non-NULL) is first called for each display in the queue, even though XCloseDisplay is not called on the display.

## 14. Toolkit Convenience Functions

To use the functions defined in this section, you should include the header file <X11/Xmu/Initer.h>.
void XmuAddInitializer(func, data)
void (*func)();
caddr_t data;

func |  | specifies the procedure to register |
data |  | specifies private data for the procedure |

This function registers a procedure, to be invoked the first time XmuCallInitializers is called on a given application context. The procedure is called with the application context and the specified data:

| (*func)(app_con, data)

void XmuCallInitializers(app_con)
XtAppContext app_con;

app_con |  | specifies the application context to initialize

This function calls each of the procedures that have been registered with XmuAddInitializer, if this is the first time the application context has been passed to XmuCallInitializers. Otherwise, this function does nothing.

## 15. Standard Colormap Functions

To use the functions defined in this section, you should include the header file <X11/Xmu/StdCmap.h>.
Status XmuAllStandardColormaps(dpy)
Display *dpy;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server |

To create all of the appropriate standard colormaps for every visual of every screen on a given display, use XmuAllStandardColormaps.

This function defines and retains as permanent resources all standard colormaps which are meaningful for the visuals of each screen of the display. It returns 0 on failure, non-zero on success. If the property of any standard colormap is already defined, this function will redefine it.

This function is intended to be used by window managers or a special client at the start of a session.

The standard colormaps of a screen are defined by properties associated with the screen’s root window. The property names of standard colormaps are predefined, and each property name except RGB_DEFAULT_MAP may describe at most one colormap.

The standard colormaps are: RGB_BEST_MAP, RGB_RED_MAP, RGB_GREEN_MAP, RGB_BLUE_MAP, RGB_DEFAULT_MAP, and RGB_GRAY_MAP. Therefore a screen may have at most 6 standard colormap properties defined.

A standard colormap is associated with a particular visual of the screen. A screen may have multiple visuals defined, including visuals of the same class at different depths. Note that a visual id might be repeated for more than one depth, so the visual id and the depth of a visual identify the visual. The characteristics of the visual will determine which standard colormaps are meaningful under that visual, and will determine how the standard colormap is defined. Because a standard colormap is associated with a specific visual, there must be a method of determining which visuals take precedence in defining standard colormaps.

The method used here is: for the visual of greatest depth, define all standard colormaps meaningful to that visual class, according to this order of (descending) precedence: DirectColor; PseudoColor; TrueColor and GrayScale; and finally StaticColor and StaticGray.

This function allows success, on a per screen basis. For example, if a map on screen 1 fails, the maps on screen 0, created earlier, will remain. However, none on screen 1 will remain. If a map on screen 0 fails, none will remain.

See XmuVisualStandardColormaps for which standard colormaps are meaningful under these classes of visuals.
Status XmuVisualStandardColormaps(dpy, screen, visualid, depth, replace, retain)
Display *dpy;
int screen;
VisualID visualid;
unsigned int depth;
Bool replace;
Bool retain;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
screen |  | specifies the screen of the display |
visualid |  | specifies the visual type |
depth |  | specifies the visual depth |
replace |  | specifies whether or not to replace |
retain |  | specifies whether or not to retain |

To create all of the appropriate standard colormaps for a given visual on a given screen, use XmuVisualStandardColormaps.

This function defines all appropriate standard colormap properties for the given visual. If replace is True, any previous definition will be removed. If retain is True, new properties will be retained for the duration of the server session. This function returns 0 on failure, non-zero on success. On failure, no new properties will be defined, but old ones may have been removed if replace was True.

Not all standard colormaps are meaningful to all visual classes. This routine will check and define the following properties for the following classes, provided that the size of the colormap is not too small. For DirectColor and PseudoColor: RGB_DEFAULT_MAP, RGB_BEST_MAP, RGB_RED_MAP, RGB_GREEN_MAP, RGB_BLUE_MAP, and RGB_GRAY_MAP. For TrueColor and StaticColor: RGB_BEST_MAP. For GrayScale and StaticGray: RGB_GRAY_MAP.
Status XmuLookupStandardColormap(dpy, screen, visualid, depth, property, replace, retain)
Display *dpy;
int screen;
VisualID visualid;
unsigned int depth;
Atom property;
Bool replace;
Bool retain;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
screen |  | specifies the screen of the display |
visualid |  | specifies the visual type |
depth |  | specifies the visual depth |
property |  | specifies the standard colormap property |
replace |  | specifies whether or not to replace |
retain |  | specifies whether or not to retain |

To create a standard colormap if one does not currently exist, or replace the currently existing standard colormap, use XmuLookupStandardColormap.

Given a screen, a visual, and a property, this function will determine the best allocation for the property under the specified visual, and determine the whether to create a new colormap or to use the default colormap of the screen.

If replace is True, any previous definition of the property will be replaced. If retain is True, the property and the colormap will be made permanent for the duration of the server session. However, pre-existing property definitions which are not replaced cannot be made permanent by a call to this function; a request to retain resources pertains to newly created resources.

This function returns 0 on failure, non-zero on success. A request to create a standard colormap upon a visual which cannot support such a map is considered a failure. An example of this would be requesting any standard colormap property on a monochrome visual, or, requesting an RGB_BEST_MAP on a display whose colormap size is 16.
Status XmuGetColormapAllocation(vinfo, property, red_max, green_max, blue_max)
XVisualInfo *vinfo;
Atom property;
unsigned long *red_max, *green_max, *blue_max;

vinfo |  | specifies visual information for a chosen visual
property |  | specifies one of the standard colormap property names
red_max |  | returns maximum red value
green_max |  | returns maximum green value
blue_max |  | returns maximum blue value

To determine the best allocation of reds, greens, and blues in a standard colormap, use XmuGetColormapAllocation.

XmuGetColormapAllocation returns 0 on failure, non-zero on success. It is assumed that the visual is appropriate for the colormap property.
XStandardColormap *XmuStandardColormap(dpy, screen, visualid, depth, property,
cmap, red_max, green_max, blue_max)
Display dpy;
int screen;
VisualID visualid;
unsigned int depth;
Atom property;
Colormap cmap;
unsigned long red_max, green_max, blue_max;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
screen |  | specifies the screen of the display |
visualid |  | specifies the visual type |
depth |  | specifies the visual depth |
property |  | specifies the standard colormap property |
cmap |  | specifies the colormap ID, or None |
red_max |  | specifies the red allocation |
green_max |  | specifies the green allocation |
blue_max |  | specifies the blue allocation |

To create any one standard colormap, use XmuStandardColormap.

This function creates a standard colormap for the given screen, visualid, and visual depth, with the given red, green, and blue maximum values, with the given standard property name. Upon success, it returns a pointer to an XStandardColormap structure which describes the newly created colormap. Upon failure, it returns NULL. If cmap is the default colormap of the screen, the standard colormap will be defined on the default colormap; otherwise a new colormap is created.

Resources created by this function are not made permanent; that is the caller’s responsibility.
Status XmuCreateColormap(dpy, colormap)
Display *dpy;
XStandardColormap *colormap;

dpy |  | specifies the connection under which the map is created
colormap |  | specifies the map to be created

To create any one colormap which is described by an XStandardColormap structure, use XmuCreateColormap.

This function returns 0 on failure, and non-zero on success. The base_pixel of the colormap is set on success. Resources created by this function are not made permanent. No argument error checking is provided; use at your own risk.

All colormaps are created with read-only allocations, with the exception of read-only allocations of colors which fail to return the expected pixel value, and these are individually defined as read/write allocations. This is done so that all the cells defined in the colormap are contiguous, for use in image processing. This typically happens with White and Black in the default map.

Colormaps of static visuals are considered to be successfully created if the map of the static visual matches the definition given in the standard colormap structure.
void XmuDeleteStandardColormap(dpy, screen, property)
Display *dpy;
int screen;
Atom property;

dpy |  | specifies the connection to the X server |
screen |  | specifies the screen of the display |
property |  | specifies the standard colormap property |

To remove any standard colormap property, use XmuDeleteStandardColormap. This function will remove the specified property from the specified screen, releasing any resources used by the colormap(s) of the property, if possible.

## 16. Widget Description Functions

The functions defined in this section are for building a description of the structure of and resources associated with a hierarchy of widget classes. This package is typically used by applications that wish to manipulate the widget set itself.

The definitions needed to use these interfaces are in the header file <X11/Xmu/WidgetNode.h>. The following function must be called before any of the others described below:
void XmuWnInitializeNodes(node_array, num_nodes)
XmuWidgetNode *node_array;
int num_nodes;

node_array | specifies a list of widget classes, in alphabetical order
num_nodes | specfies the number of widget classes in the node array

To determine the resources provided by a widget class or classes, use
void XmuWnFetchResources(node, toplevel, top_node)
XmuWidgetNode *node;
Widget toplevel;
XmuWidgetNode *top_node;

node |  | specifies the widget class for which resources should be obtained.
toplevel |  | specifies the widget that should be used for creating an instance of node from which resources are extracted. This is typically the value returned by XtAppInitialize.
top_node |  | specifies the ancestor of node that should be treated as the root of the widget inheritance tree (used in determining which ancestor contributed which resources).

Each widget class inherits the resources of its parent. To count the number of resources contributed by a particular widget class, use:
int XmuWnCountOwnedResources(node, owner_node, constraints)
XmuWidgetNode *node;
XmuWidgetNode *owner_node;
Bool constraints;

node | specifies the widget class whose resources are being examined.
owner_node | specifies the widget class of the ancestor of node whose contributions are being counted.

constraints

| specifies whether or not to count constraint resources or normal resources.

This routine returns the number of resources contributed (or ‘‘owned’’) by the specified widget class.
XmuWidgetNode *XmuWnNameToNode(node_list, num_nodes, name)
XmuWidgetNode *node_list;
int num_nodes;
char *name;

node_list |  | specifies a list of widget nodes
num_nodes |  | specifies the number of nodes in the list
name |  | specifies the name of the widget class in the node list to search for

This function returns the WidgetNode in the list that matches the given widget name or widget class name. If no match is found, it returns NULL.

## 17. Participation in the Editres Protocol

To participate in the editres protocol, applications which are not based on the Athena widget set should include the header file <X11/Xmu/Editres.h>.

To participate in the editres protocol, Xt applications which do not rely on the Athena widget set should register the editres protocol handler on each shell widget in the application, specifying an event mask of 0, nonmaskable events, and client data as NULL:

XtAddEventHandler(shell, (EventMask) 0, True, _XEditResCheckMessages, NULL);
