XSetState(3)                                   XLIB FUNCTIONS                                   XSetState(3)



NAME
       XSetState, XSetFunction, XSetPlaneMask, XSetForeground, XSetBackground - GC convenience routines

SYNTAX
       int XSetState(Display *display, GC gc, unsigned long foreground, unsigned int background, int func-tion, function,
              tion, unsigned long plane_mask);

       int XSetFunction(Display *display, GC gc, int function);

       int XSetPlaneMask(Display *display, GC gc, unsigned long plane_mask);

       int XSetForeground(Display *display, GC gc, unsigned long foreground);

       int XSetBackground(Display *display, GC gc, unsigned long background);

ARGUMENTS
       background
                 Specifies the background you want to set for the specified GC.

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       foreground
                 Specifies the foreground you want to set for the specified GC.

       function  Specifies the function you want to set for the specified GC.

       gc        Specifies the GC.

       plane_mask
                 Specifies the plane mask.

DESCRIPTION
       The XSetState function sets the foreground, background, plane mask, and function components for the
       specified GC.

       XSetState can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue errors.

       XSetFunction sets a specified value in the specified GC.

       XSetFunction can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue errors.

       The XSetPlaneMask function sets the plane mask in the specified GC.

       XSetPlaneMask can generate BadAlloc and BadGC errors.

       The XSetForeground function sets the foreground in the specified GC.

       XSetForeground can generate BadAlloc and BadGC errors.

       The XSetBackground function sets the background in the specified GC.

       XSetBackground can generate BadAlloc and BadGC errors.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc  The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.

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

       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.
