xcb_shm_put_image_checked(3)

xcb_shm_put_image_checked3

Copy data from the shared memory to the specified drawable.

Part of xcb_shm_put_image(3).

Request arguments

conn

The XCB connection to X11.

drawable

The drawable to draw to.

gc

The graphics context to use.

total_width

The total width of the source image.

total_height

The total height of the source image.

src_x

The source X coordinate of the sub-image to copy.

src_y

The source Y coordinate of the sub-image to copy.

src_width

The width, in source image coordinates, of the data to copy from the source. The X server will use this to determine the amount of data to copy. The amount of the destination image that is overwritten is determined automatically.

src_height

The height, in source image coordinates, of the data to copy from the source. The X server will use this to determine the amount of data to copy. The amount of the destination image that is overwritten is determined automatically.

dst_x

The X coordinate on the destination drawable to copy to.

dst_y

The Y coordinate on the destination drawable to copy to.

depth

The depth to use.

format

The format of the image being drawn. If it is XYBitmap, depth must be 1, or a "BadMatch" error results. The foreground pixel in the GC determines the source for the one bits in the image, and the background pixel determines the source for the zero bits. For XYPixmap and ZPixmap, the depth must match the depth of the drawable, or a "BadMatch" error results.

send_event

True if the server should send an XCB_SHM_COMPLETION event when the blit completes.

shmseg

TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

offset

The offset that the source image starts at.

Overview

Copy data from the shared memory to the specified drawable. The amount of bytes written to the destination image is always equal to the number of bytes read from the shared memory segment.

Return value

Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.

If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_shm_put_image_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

Errors

This request does never generate any errors.
