XDrawPoint(3)                                  XLIB FUNCTIONS                                  XDrawPoint(3)



NAME
       XDrawPoint, XDrawPoints, XPoint - draw points and points structure

SYNTAX
       int XDrawPoint(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc, int x, int y);

       int XDrawPoints(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc, XPoint *points, int npoints, int mode);

ARGUMENTS
       d         Specifies the drawable.

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       gc        Specifies the GC.

       mode      Specifies the coordinate mode.  You can pass CoordModeOrigin or CoordModePrevious.

       npoints   Specifies the number of points in the array.

       points    Specifies an array of points.

       x
       y         Specify the x and y coordinates where you want the point drawn.

DESCRIPTION
       The XDrawPoint function uses the foreground pixel and function components of the GC to draw a single
       point into the specified drawable; XDrawPoints draws multiple points this way.  CoordModeOrigin
       treats all coordinates as relative to the origin, and CoordModePrevious treats all coordinates after
       the first as relative to the previous point.  XDrawPoints draws the points in the order listed in the
       array.

       Both functions use these GC components: function, plane-mask, foreground, subwindow-mode, clip-x-ori-gin, clip-x-origin,
       gin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.

       XDrawPoint can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and BadMatch errors.  XDrawPoints can generate BadDraw-able, BadDrawable,
       able, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.

STRUCTURES
       The XPoint structure contains:

       typedef struct {
            short x, y;
       } XPoint;

       All x and y members are signed integers.  The width and height members are 16-bit unsigned integers.
       You should be careful not to generate coordinates and sizes out of the 16-bit ranges, because the
       protocol only has 16-bit fields for these values.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadDrawable
                 A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.

       BadGC     A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext.

       BadMatch  An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.

       BadMatch  Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but fails to match in
                 some other way required by the request.

       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.
