# XkbFreeGeomPoints(3)

Free points in a outline

## NAME

XkbFreeGeomPoints - Free points in a outline

## SYNOPSIS

**void XkbFreeGeomPoints** **(XkbOutlinePtr** *outline***,** **int** *first***,** **int** *count***,** **Bool** *free\_all***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- *outline*

  outline in which points should be freed

- *first*

  first point to be freed

- *count*

  number of points to be freed

- *free\_all*

  True =\> all points are freed

## DESCRIPTION

Xkb provides a number of functions to allocate and free subcomponents of a keyboard geometry. Use these functions to create or modify keyboard geometries. Note that these functions merely allocate space for the new element(s), and it is up to you to fill in the values explicitly in your code. These allocation functions increase *sz\_\** but never touch *num\_\** (unless there is an allocation failure, in which case they reset both *sz\_\** and *num\_\** to zero). These functions return Success if they succeed, BadAlloc if they are not able to allocate space, or BadValue if a parameter is not as expected.

If *free\_all* is True, all points are freed regardless of the value of \>i first and *count.* Otherwise, the number of points specified by *count* are freed, beginning with the point specified by *first* in the specified outline.

## RETURN VALUES

- Success

  The XkbFreeGeomPoints function returns Success when there are no allocation or argument errors.

## DIAGNOSTICS

- **BadAlloc**

  Unable to allocate storage

- **BadValue**

  An argument is out of range
