gdk-pixbuf Xlib initialization

Name

gdk-pixbuf Xlib initialization -- Initializing the gdk-pixbuf Xlib library.

Synopsis


#include <gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h>


void        gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init            (Display *display,
                                             int screen_num);
void        gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init_with_depth (Display *display,
                                             int screen_num,
                                             int prefDepth);

Description

In addition to the normal Gdk-specific functions, the gdk-pixbuf package provides a small library that lets Xlib-only applications use GdkPixbuf structures and render them to X drawables. The functions in this section are used to initialize the gdk-pixbuf Xlib library. This library must be initialized near the beginning or the program or before calling any of the other gdk-pixbuf Xlib functions; it cannot be initialized automatically since Xlib-only applications do not call gdk_rgb_init() like GNOME applications do.

Details

gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init ()

void        gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init            (Display *display,
                                             int screen_num);

Initializes the gdk-pixbuf Xlib machinery by calling xlib_rgb_init(). This function should be called near the beginning of your program, or before using any of the gdk-pixbuf-xlib functions.

display : X display to use.
screen_num : Screen number.

gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init_with_depth ()

void        gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init_with_depth (Display *display,
                                             int screen_num,
                                             int prefDepth);

Similar to gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init(), but also lets you specify the preferred depth for XlibRGB if you do not want it to use the default depth it picks.

display : X display to use.
screen_num : Screen number.
prefDepth : Preferred depth for XlibRGB.
