1. Introduction
The Xmu Library is a collection of miscellaneous (some might
say random) utility functions that have been useful in
building various applications and widgets. This library is
required by the Athena Widgets.
2. Atom Functions
The use the functions and macros defined in this section,
you should include the header file <X11/Xmu/Atoms.h>.
XA_ATOM_PAIR(d)
XA_CHARACTER_POSITION(d)
XA_CLASS(d)
XA_CLIENT_WINDOW(d)
XA_CLIPBOARD(d)
XA_COMPOUND_TEXT(d)
XA_DECNET_ADDRESS(d)
XA_DELETE(d)
XA_FILENAME(d)
XA_HOSTNAME(d)
XA_IP_ADDRESS(d)
XA_LENGTH(d)
XA_LIST_LENGTH(d)
XA_NAME(d)
XA_NET_ADDRESS(d)
XA_NULL(d)
XA_OWNER_OS(d)
XA_SPAN(d)
XA_TARGETS(d)
XA_TEXT(d)
XA_TIMESTAMP(d)
XA_USER(d)
XA_UTF8_STRING(d)
These macros take a display as argument and return an Atom.
The name of the atom is obtained from the macro name by
removing the leading characters ``XA_''. The Atom value is
cached, such that subsequent requests do not cause another
round-trip to the server.
AtomPtr XmuMakeAtom(name)
char* name;
name specifies the atom name
This function creates and initializes an opaque object, an
AtomPtr, for an Atom with the given name. XmuInternAtom can
-3-
be used to cache the Atom value for one or more displays.
char *XmuNameOfAtom(atom_ptr)
AtomPtr atom_ptr;
atom_ptr specifies the AtomPtr
The function returns the name of an AtomPtr.
Atom XmuInternAtom(d, atom_ptr)
Display *d;
AtomPtr atom_ptr;
d specifies the connection to the X server
atom_ptr specifies the AtomPtr
This function returns the Atom for an AtomPtr. The Atom is
cached, such that subsequent requests do not cause another
round-trip to the server.
char *XmuGetAtomName(d, atom)
Display *d;
Atom atom;
d specifies the connection to the X server
atom specifies the atom whose name is desired
This function returns the name of an Atom. The result is
cached, such that subsequent requests do not cause another
round-trip to the server.
void XmuInternStrings(d, names, count, atoms)
Display *d;
String *names;
Cardinal count;
Atom *atoms;
d specifies the connection to the X server
names specifies the strings to intern
count specifies the number of strings
-4-
atoms returns the list of Atom values
This function converts a list of atom names into Atom val-
ues. The results are cached, such that subsequent requests
do not cause further round-trips to the server. The caller
is responsible for preallocating the array pointed at by
atoms.
3. Error Handler Functions
To use the functions defined in this section, you should
include the header file <X11/Xmu/Error.h>.
int XmuPrintDefaultErrorMessage(dpy, event, fp)
Display *dpy;
XErrorEvent *event;
FILE *fp;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
event specifies the error
fp specifies where to print the error message
This function prints an error message, equivalent to Xlib's
default error message for protocol errors. It returns a
non-zero value if the caller should consider exiting, other-
wise it returns 0. This function can be used when you need
to write your own error handler, but need to print out an
error from within that handler.
int XmuSimpleErrorHandler(dpy, errorp)
Display *dpy;
XErrorEvent *errorp;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
errorp specifies the error
This function ignores errors for BadWindow errors for
XQueryTree and XGetWindowAttributes, and ignores BadDrawable
errors for XGetGeometry; it returns 0 in those cases. Oth-
erwise, it prints the default error message, and returns a
non-zero value if the caller should consider exiting, and 0
if the caller should not exit.
-5-
4. System Utility Functions
To use the functions defined in this section, you should
include the header file <X11/Xmu/SysUtil.h>.
int XmuGetHostname(buf, maxlen)
char *buf;
int maxlen;
buf returns the host name
maxlen specifies the length of buf
This function stores the null terminated name of the local
host in buf, and returns length of the name. This function
hides operating system differences, such as whether to call
gethostname or uname.
5. Window Utility Functions
To use the functions defined in this section, you should
include the header file <X11/Xmu/WinUtil.h>.
Screen *XmuScreenOfWindow(dpy, w)
Display *dpy;
Window w;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
w specifies the window
This function returns the Screen on which the specified win-
dow was created.
Window XmuClientWindow(dpy, win)
Display *dpy;
Window win;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
win specifies the window
This function finds a window, at or below the specified win-
dow, which has a WM_STATE property. If such a window is
found, it is returned, otherwise the argument window is
returned.
-6-
Bool XmuUpdateMapHints(dpy, w, hints)
Display *dpy;
Window w;
XSizeHints *hints;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
win specifies the window
hints specifies the new hints, or NULL
This function clears the PPosition and PSize flags and sets
the USPosition and USSize flags in the hints structure, and
then stores the hints for the window using XSetWMNormalHints
and returns True. If NULL is passed for the hints struc-
ture, then the current hints are read back from the window
using XGetWMNormalHints and are used instead, and True is
returned; otherwise False is returned.
6. Cursor Utility Functions
To use the functions defined in this section, you should
include the header file <X11/Xmu/CurUtil.h>.
int XmuCursorNameToIndex(name)
char *name;
name specifies the name of the cursor
This function takes the name of a standard cursor and
returns its index in the standard cursor font. The cursor
names are formed by removing the ``XC_'' prefix from the
cursor defines listed in Appendix B of the Xlib manual.
7. Graphics Functions
To use the functions defined in this section, you should
include the header file <X11/Xmu/Drawing.h>.
void XmuDrawRoundedRectangle(dpy, draw, gc, x, y, w, h, ew, eh)

int x, y, w, h, ew, eh;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
-7-
draw specifies the drawable
gc specifies the GC
x specifies the upper left x coordinate
y specifies the upper left y coordinate
w specifies the rectangle width
h specifies the rectangle height
ew specifies the corner width

This function draws a rounded rectangle, where x, y, w, h
are the dimensions of the overall rectangle, and ew and eh
are the sizes of a bounding box that the corners are drawn
inside of; ew should be no more than half of w, and eh
should be no more than half of h. The current GC line
attributes control all attributes of the line.

w, h are the dimensions of the overall rectangle, and ew and
eh are the sizes of a bounding box that the corners are
drawn inside of; ew should be no more than half of w, and eh
should be no more than half of h. The current GC fill
-8-
settings control all attributes of the fill contents.

This function draws the ``official'' X Window System logo.
The bounding box of the logo in the drawable is given by x,
y, width, and height. The logo itself is filled using
gcFore, and the rest of the rectangle is filled using
gcBack.
Pixmap XmuCreateStippledPixmap(screen, fore, back, depth)
Screen *screen;
Pixel fore, back;
unsigned int depth;
screen specifies the screen the pixmap is created on
fore specifies the foreground pixel value
back specifies the background pixel value
depth specifies the depth of the pixmap
This function creates a two pixel by one pixel stippled
pixmap of specified depth on the specified screen. The
pixmap is cached so that multiple requests share the same
pixmap. The pixmap should be freed with XmuReleaseStippled-
Pixmap to maintain correct reference counts.
-9-
void XmuReleaseStippledPixmap(screen, pixmap)
Screen *screen;
Pixmap pixmap;
screen specifies the screen the pixmap was created on
pixmap specifies the pixmap to free
This function frees a pixmap created with
XmuCreateStippledPixmap.

width returns the width of the bitmap
height returns the height of the bitmap
datap returns the parsed bitmap data
x_hot returns the x coordinate of the hotspot
y_hot returns the y coordinate of the hotspot
This function reads a standard bitmap file description from
the specified stream, and returns the parsed data in a for-
mat suitable for passing to XCreateBitmapFromData. The
return value of the function has the same interpretation as
the return value for XReadBitmapFile.
int XmuReadBitmapDataFromFile(filename, width, height, datap, x_hot, y_hot)
char *filename;
unsigned int *width, *height;
unsigned char **datap;
int *x_hot, *y_hot;
filename specifies the file to read from
width returns the width of the bitmap
height returns the height of the bitmap
datap returns the parsed bitmap data
-10-
x_hot returns the x coordinate of the hotspot
y_hot returns the y coordinate of the hotspot
This function reads a standard bitmap file description from
the specified file, and returns the parsed data in a format
suitable for passing to XCreateBitmapFromData. The return
value of the function has the same interpretation as the
return value for XReadBitmapFile.
Pixmap XmuLocateBitmapFile(screen, name, srcname, srcnamelen, widthp, heightp, xhotp, yhotp)
Screen *screen;
char *name;
char *srcname;
int srcnamelen;
int *widthp, *heightp, *xhotp, *yhotp;
screen specifies the screen the pixmap is created on
name specifies the file to read from
srcname returns the full filename of the bitmap
srcnamelen
specifies the length of the srcname buffer
width returns the width of the bitmap
height returns the height of the bitmap
xhotp returns the x coordinate of the hotspot
yhotp returns the y coordinate of the hotspot
This function reads a file in standard bitmap file format,
using XReadBitmapFile, and returns the created bitmap. The
filename may be absolute, or relative to the global resource
named bitmapFilePath with class BitmapFilePath. If the
resource is not defined, the default value is the build sym-
bol BITMAPDIR, which is typically
"/usr/include/X11/bitmaps". If srcnamelen is greater than
zero and srcname is not NULL, the null terminated filename
will be copied into srcname. The size and hotspot of the
bitmap are also returned.
-11-

bitmap specifies the bitmap source
width specifies the width of the pixmap
height specifies the height of the pixmap
depth specifies the depth of the pixmap
fore specifies the foreground pixel value
back specifies the background pixel value
This function creates a pixmap of the specified width,
height, and depth, on the same screen as the specified draw-
able, and then performs an XCopyPlane from the specified
bitmap to the pixmap, using the specified foreground and
background pixel values. The created pixmap is returned.

This function converts a string to a backing-store integer
as defined in <X11/X.h>. The string "notUseful" converts to
NotUseful, "whenMapped" converts to WhenMapped, and "always"
converts to Always. The string "default" converts to the
value Always+ WhenMapped+ NotUseful. The case of the string
does not matter. To use this converter, include the follow-
ing in your widget's ClassInitialize procedure:
XtAddConverter(XtRString, XtRBackingStore, XmuCvtStringTo-
BackingStore, NULL, 0);
void XmuCvtStringToBitmap(args, num_args, fromVal, toVal)
XrmValuePtr args;

create the bitmap
num_args must be the value 1
fromVal specifies the string to convert
toVal returns the converted value
This function creates a bitmap (a Pixmap of depth one) suit-
able for window manager icons. The string argument is the
name of a file in standard bitmap file format. For the pos-
sible filename specifications, see XmuLocateBitmapFile. To
use this converter, include the following in your widget's
ClassInitialize procedure:
static XtConvertArgRec screenConvertArg[] = {
{XtBaseOffset, (XtPointer)XtOffset(Widget, core.screen),

This function converts a string to a Cursor with the fore-
ground and background pixels specified by the conversion
arguments. The string can either be a standard cursor name
formed by removing the ``XC_'' prefix from any of the cursor
defines listed in Appendix B of the Xlib Manual, a font name
and glyph index in decimal of the form "FONT fontname index
[[font] index]", or a bitmap filename acceptable to
XmuLocateBitmapFile. To use this converter, include the

};
XtSetTypeConverter(XtRString, XtRColorCursor, XmuCvtString-
ToColorCursor,
-15-
colorCursorConvertArgs, XtNumber(colorCursorCon-
vertArgs),
XtCacheByDisplay, NULL); The widget must
recognize XtNpointerColor and XtNpointerColorBackground as
resources, or specify other appropriate foreground and back-
ground resources. The widget's Realize and SetValues meth-
ods must cause the converter to be invoked with the appro-
priate arguments when one of the foreground, background, or
cursor resources has changed, or when the window is created,
and must assign the cursor to the window of the widget.

This function converts a string to an integer shape style.
The string "rectangle" converts to XmuShapeRectangle, "oval"
converts to XmuShapeOval, "ellipse" converts to
XmuShapeEllipse, and "roundedRectangle" converts to
XmuShapeRoundedRectangle. The case of the string does not
matter. To use this converter, include the following in

-19-
This function reshapes the specified widget, using the Shape
extension, to a rectangle, oval, ellipse, or rounded rectan-
gle, as specified by shape_style ( XmuShapeRectangle,
XmuShapeOval, XmuShapeEllipse, and XmuShapeRoundedRectangle,
respectively). The shape is bounded by the outside edges of
the rectangular extents of the widget. If the shape is a
rounded rectangle, corner_width and corner_height specify
the size of the bounding box that the corners are drawn
inside of (see XmuFillRoundedRectangle); otherwise, cor-
ner_width and corner_height are ignored. The origin of the
widget within its parent remains unchanged.
void XmuCvtStringToWidget(args, num_args, fromVal, toVal)
XrmValuePtr args;
Cardinal *num_args;
XrmValuePtr fromVal;
XrmValuePtr toVal;
args this sole argument is the parent Widget
num_args this argument must be 1
fromVal specifies the string to convert
toVal returns the converted value
This function converts a string to an immediate child widget
of the parent widget passed as an argument. Note that this
converter only works for child widgets that have already
been created; there is no lazy evaluation. The string is
first compared against the names of the normal and popup
children, and if a match is found the corresponding child is
returned. If no match is found, the string is compared
against the classes of the normal and popup children, and if
a match is found the corresponding child is returned. The
case of the string is significant. To use this converter,
include the following in your widget's ClassInitialize pro-
cedure:
static XtConvertArgRec parentCvtArg[] = {
{XtBaseOffset, (XtPointer)XtOffset(Widget, core.parent),
sizeof(Widget)},
};
XtAddConverter(XtRString, XtRWidget, XmuCvtStringToWidget,
parentCvtArg, XtNumber(parentCvtArg));

args this sole argument is the parent Widget
num_args this argument must be a pointer to a Cardinal con-
taining the value 1
fromVal specifies the string to convert
toVal returns the converted value
data this argument is ignored
This converter is identical in functionality to XmuCvt-
StringToWidget, except that it is a new-style converter,
allowing the specification of a cache type at the time of
registration. Most widgets will not cache the conversion
results, as the application may dynamically create and
destroy widgets, which would cause cached values to become
illegal. To use this converter, include the following in
the widget's class initialize procedure:
static XtConvertArgRec parentCvtArg[] = {
{XtWidgetBaseOffset, (XtPointer)XtOffsetOf(WidgetRec,
core.parent),
sizeof(Widget)}
};
XtSetTypeConverter(XtRString, XtRWidget, XmuNewCvtString-
ToWidget,
parentCvtArg, XtNumber(parentCvtArg),
XtCacheNone, NULL);
10. Character Set Functions
To use the functions defined in this section, you should
include the header file <X11/Xmu/CharSet.h>.
The functions in this section are deprecated because they
don't work in most locales now supported by X11; the func-
tion XmbLookupString provides a better alternative.
-21-
void XmuCopyISOLatin1Lowered(dst, src)
char *dst, *src;
dst returns the string copy
src specifies the string to copy
This function copies a null terminated string from src to
dst (including the null), changing all Latin-1 uppercase

11. Compound Text Functions
The functions defined in this section are for parsing Com-
pound Text strings, decomposing them into individual seg-
ments. Definitions needed to use these routines are in the
include file <X11/Xmu/Xct.h>.
The functions in this section are deprecated because they
shift the burden for recently introduced locale encodings to
the application. The use of the UTF8_STRING text encoding
provides a better alternative.
A Compound Text string is represented as the following type:
typedef unsigned char *XctString;
XctData XctCreate(string, length, flags)
XctString string;
int length;
XctFlags flags;
string the Compound Text string
-27-
length the number of bytes in string
flags parsing control flags
This function creates an XctData structure for parsing a
Compound Text string. The string need not be null termi-
nated. The following flags are defined to control parsing
of the string:
XctSingleSetSegments -- This means that returned segments
should contain characters from only one set (C0, C1, GL,
GR). When this is requested, XctSegment is never returned
by XctNextItem, instead XctC0Segment, XctC1Segment,
XctGlSegment, and XctGRSegment are returned. C0 and C1 seg-
ments are always returned as singleton characters.
XctProvideExtensions -- This means that if the Compound Text
string is from a higher version than this code is imple-
mented to, then syntactically correct but unknown control
sequences should be returned as XctExtension items by
XctNextItem. If this flag is not set, and the Compound Text
string version indicates that extensions cannot be ignored,
then each unknown control sequence will be reported as an
XctError.
XctAcceptC0Extensions -- This means that if the Compound
Text string is from a higher version than this code is
implemented to, then unknown C0 characters should be treated
as if they were legal, and returned as C0 characters
(regardless of how XctProvideExtensions is set) by
XctNextItem. If this flag is not set, then all unknown C0
characters are treated according to XctProvideExtensions.
XctAcceptC1Extensions -- This means that if the Compound
Text string is from a higher version than this code is
implemented to, then unknown C1 characters should be treated
as if they were legal, and returned as C1 characters
(regardless of how XctProvideExtensions is set) by
XctNextItem. If this flag is not set, then all unknown C1
characters are treated according to XctProvideExtensions.
XctHideDirection -- This means that horizontal direction
changes should be reported as XctHorizontal items by
XctNextItem. then direction changes are not returned as
items, but the current direction is still maintained and
reported for other items. The current direction is given as
an enumeration, with the values XctUnspecified,
XctLeftToRight, and XctRightToLeft.
XctFreeString -- This means that XctFree should free the
Compound Text string that is passed to XctCreate. If this
flag is not set, the string is not freed.
-28-
XctShiftMultiGRToGL -- This means that XctNextItem should
translate GR segments on-the-fly into GL segments for the GR
sets: GB2312.1980-1, JISX0208.1983-1, and KSC5601.1987-1.
void XctReset(data)
XctData data;
data specifies the Compound Text structure
This function resets the XctData structure to reparse the
Compound Text string from the beginning.
XctResult XctNextItem(data)
XctData data;
data specifies the Compound Text structure
This function parses the next ``item'' from the Compound
Text string. The return value indicates what kind of item
is returned. The item itself, it's length, and the current
contextual state, are reported as components of the XctData
structure. XctResult is an enumeration, with the following
values:
XctSegment -- the item contains some mixture of C0, GL, GR,
and C1 characters.
XctC0Segment -- the item contains only C0 characters.
XctGLSegment -- the item contains only GL characters.
XctC1Segment -- the item contains only C1 characters.
XctGRSegment -- the item contains only GR characters.
XctExtendedSegment -- the item contains an extended segment.
XctExtension -- the item is an unknown extension control
sequence.
XctHorizontal -- the item indicates a change in horizontal
direction or depth. The new direction and depth are
recorded in the XctData structure.
XctEndOfText -- The end of the Compound Text string has been
reached.
XctError -- the string contains a syntactic or semantic
error; no further parsing should be performed.
-29-
The following state values are stored in the XctData struc-
ture:
XctString item; /* the action item */
int item_length; /* the length of item in bytes */
int char_size; /* the number of bytes per character in
* item, with zero meaning variable */
char *encoding; /* the XLFD encoding name for item */
XctHDirection horizontal;/* the direction of item */
int horz_depth; /* the current direction nesting depth */
char *GL; /* the "{I} F" string for the current GL */
char *GL_encoding; /* the XLFD encoding name for the current GL */
int GL_set_size; /* 94 or 96 */
int GL_char_size; /* the number of bytes per GL character */
char *GR; /* the "{I} F" string for the current GR */
char *GR_encoding; /* the XLFD encoding name the for current GR */
int GR_set_size; /* 94 or 96 */
int GR_char_size; /* the number of bytes per GR character */
char *GLGR_encoding; /* the XLFD encoding name for the current
* GL+GR, if known */
void XctFree(data)
XctData data;
data specifies the Compound Text structure
This function frees all data associated with the XctData
structure.
12. CloseDisplay Hook Functions
To use the functions defined in this section, you should
include the header file <X11/Xmu/CloseHook.h>.
CloseHook XmuAddCloseDisplayHook(dpy, func, arg)
Display *dpy;
int (*func)();
caddr_t arg;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
func specifies the function to call at display close
arg specifies arbitrary data to pass to func
This function adds a callback for the given display. When
the display is closed, the given function will be called
with the given display and argument as:
-30-
(*func)(dpy, arg)
The function is declared to return an int even though the
value is ignored, because some compilers have problems with
functions returning void.
This routine returns NULL if it was unable to add the call-
back, otherwise it returns an opaque handle that can be used
to remove or lookup the callback.
Bool XmuRemoveCloseDisplayHook(dpy, handle, func, arg)
Display *dpy;
CloseHook handle;
int (*func)();
caddr_t arg;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
handle specifies the callback by id, or NULL
func specifies the callback by function
arg specifies the function data to match
This function deletes a callback that has been added with
XmuAddCloseDisplayHook. If handle is not NULL, it specifies
the callback to remove, and the func and arg parameters are
ignored. If handle is NULL, the first callback found to
match the specified func and arg will be removed. Returns
True if a callback was removed, else returns False.
Bool XmuLookupCloseDisplayHook(dpy, handle, func, arg)
Display *dpy;
CloseHook handle;
int (*func)();
caddr_t arg;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
handle specifies the callback by id, or NULL
func specifies the callback by function
arg specifies the function data to match
This function determines if a callback is installed. If
handle is not NULL, it specifies the callback to look for,
and the func and arg parameters are ignored. If handle is
NULL, the function will look for any callback for the speci-
fied func and arg. Returns True if a matching callback
-31-
exists, else returns False.
13. Display Queue Functions
To use the functions and types defined in this section, you
should include the header file <X11/Xmu/DisplayQue.h>. It
defines the following types:
typedef struct _XmuDisplayQueueEntry {
struct _XmuDisplayQueueEntry *prev, *next;
Display *display;
CloseHook closehook;
caddr_t data;
} XmuDisplayQueueEntry;
typedef struct _XmuDisplayQueue {
int nentries;
XmuDisplayQueueEntry *head, *tail;
int (*closefunc)();
int (*freefunc)();
caddr_t data;
} XmuDisplayQueue;
XmuDisplayQueue *XmuDQCreate(closefunc, freefunc, data)
int (*closefunc)();
int (*freefunc)();
caddr_t data;
closefunc specifies the close function
freefunc specifies the free function
data specifies private data for the functions
This function creates and returns an empty XmuDisplayQueue
(which is really just a set of displays, but is called a
queue for historical reasons). The queue is initially
empty, but displays can be added using XmuAddDisplay. The
data value is simply stored in the queue for use by the
closefunc and freefunc callbacks. Whenever a display in the
queue is closed using XCloseDisplay, the closefunc (if non-
NULL) is called with the queue and the display's XmuDis-
playQueueEntry as follows:
(*closefunc)(queue, entry)
The freeproc (if non-NULL) is called whenever the last dis-
play in the queue is closed, as follows:
-32-
(*freefunc)(queue)
The application is responsible for actually freeing the
queue, by calling XmuDQDestroy.
XmuDisplayQueueEntry *XmuDQAddDisplay(q, dpy, data)
XmuDisplayQueue *q;
Display *dpy;
caddr_t data;
q specifies the queue
dpy specifies the display to add
data specifies private data for the free function
This function adds the specified display to the queue. If
successful, the queue entry is returned, otherwise NULL is
returned. The data value is simply stored in the queue
entry for use by the queue's freefunc callback. This func-
tion does not attempt to prevent duplicate entries in the
queue; the caller should use XmuDQLookupDisplay to determine
if a display has already been added to a queue.
XmuDisplayQueueEntry *XmuDQLookupDisplay(q, dpy)
XmuDisplayQueue *q;
Display *dpy;
q specifies the queue
dpy specifies the display to lookup
This function returns the queue entry for the specified dis-
play, or NULL if the display is not in the queue.
XmuDQNDisplays(q)
This macro returns the number of displays in the specified
queue.
Bool XmuDQRemoveDisplay(q, dpy)
XmuDisplayQueue *q;
Display *dpy;
q specifies the queue
-33-
dpy specifies the display to remove
This function removes the specified display from the speci-
fied queue. No callbacks are performed. If the display is
not found in the queue, False is returned, otherwise True is
returned.
Bool XmuDQDestroy(q, docallbacks)
XmuDisplayQueue *q;
Bool docallbacks;
q specifies the queue to destroy
docallbacks
specifies whether close functions should be called
This function releases all memory associated with the speci-
fied queue. If docallbacks is True, then the queue's close-
func callback (if non-NULL) is first called for each display
in the queue, even though XCloseDisplay is not called on the
display.
14. Toolkit Convenience Functions
To use the functions defined in this section, you should
include the header file <X11/Xmu/Initer.h>.
void XmuAddInitializer(func, data)
void (*func)();
caddr_t data;
func specifies the procedure to register
data specifies private data for the procedure
This function registers a procedure, to be invoked the first
time XmuCallInitializers is called on a given application
context. The procedure is called with the application con-
text and the specified data:
(*func)(app_con, data)
void XmuCallInitializers(app_con)
XtAppContext app_con;
app_con specifies the application context to initialize
-34-
This function calls each of the procedures that have been
registered with XmuAddInitializer, if this is the first time
the application context has been passed to
XmuCallInitializers. Otherwise, this function does nothing.
15. Standard Colormap Functions
To use the functions defined in this section, you should
include the header file <X11/Xmu/StdCmap.h>.
Status XmuAllStandardColormaps(dpy)
Display *dpy;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
To create all of the appropriate standard colormaps for
every visual of every screen on a given display, use
XmuAllStandardColormaps.
This function defines and retains as permanent resources all
standard colormaps which are meaningful for the visuals of
each screen of the display. It returns 0 on failure, non-
zero on success. If the property of any standard colormap
is already defined, this function will redefine it.
This function is intended to be used by window managers or a
special client at the start of a session.
The standard colormaps of a screen are defined by properties
associated with the screen's root window. The property
names of standard colormaps are predefined, and each prop-
erty name except RGB_DEFAULT_MAP may describe at most one
colormap.
The standard colormaps are: RGB_BEST_MAP, RGB_RED_MAP,
RGB_GREEN_MAP, RGB_BLUE_MAP, RGB_DEFAULT_MAP, and
RGB_GRAY_MAP. Therefore a screen may have at most 6 stan-
dard colormap properties defined.
A standard colormap is associated with a particular visual
of the screen. A screen may have multiple visuals defined,
including visuals of the same class at different depths.
Note that a visual id might be repeated for more than one
depth, so the visual id and the depth of a visual identify
the visual. The characteristics of the visual will deter-
mine which standard colormaps are meaningful under that
visual, and will determine how the standard colormap is
defined. Because a standard colormap is associated with a
specific visual, there must be a method of determining which
visuals take precedence in defining standard colormaps.
-35-
The method used here is: for the visual of greatest depth,
define all standard colormaps meaningful to that visual
class, according to this order of (descending) precedence:
DirectColor; PseudoColor; TrueColor and GrayScale; and
finally StaticColor and StaticGray.
This function allows success, on a per screen basis. For
example, if a map on screen 1 fails, the maps on screen 0,
created earlier, will remain. However, none on screen 1
will remain. If a map on screen 0 fails, none will remain.
See XmuVisualStandardColormaps for which standard colormaps
are meaningful under these classes of visuals.
Status XmuVisualStandardColormaps(dpy, screen, visualid, depth, replace, retain)
Display *dpy;
int screen;
VisualID visualid;
unsigned int depth;
Bool replace;
Bool retain;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
screen specifies the screen of the display
visualid specifies the visual type
depth specifies the visual depth
replace specifies whether or not to replace
retain specifies whether or not to retain
To create all of the appropriate standard colormaps for a
given visual on a given screen, use
XmuVisualStandardColormaps.
This function defines all appropriate standard colormap
properties for the given visual. If replace is True, any
previous definition will be removed. If retain is True, new
properties will be retained for the duration of the server
session. This function returns 0 on failure, non-zero on
success. On failure, no new properties will be defined, but
old ones may have been removed if replace was True.
Not all standard colormaps are meaningful to all visual
classes. This routine will check and define the following
properties for the following classes, provided that the size
of the colormap is not too small. For DirectColor and
PseudoColor: RGB_DEFAULT_MAP, RGB_BEST_MAP, RGB_RED_MAP,
RGB_GREEN_MAP, RGB_BLUE_MAP, and RGB_GRAY_MAP. For
-36-
TrueColor and StaticColor: RGB_BEST_MAP. For GrayScale and
StaticGray: RGB_GRAY_MAP.
Status XmuLookupStandardColormap(dpy, screen, visualid, depth, property, replace, retain)
Display *dpy;
int screen;
VisualID visualid;
unsigned int depth;
Atom property;
Bool replace;
Bool retain;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
screen specifies the screen of the display
visualid specifies the visual type
depth specifies the visual depth
property specifies the standard colormap property
replace specifies whether or not to replace
retain specifies whether or not to retain
To create a standard colormap if one does not currently
exist, or replace the currently existing standard colormap,
use XmuLookupStandardColormap.
Given a screen, a visual, and a property, this function will
determine the best allocation for the property under the
specified visual, and determine the whether to create a new
colormap or to use the default colormap of the screen.
If replace is True, any previous definition of the property
will be replaced. If retain is True, the property and the
colormap will be made permanent for the duration of the
server session. However, pre-existing property definitions
which are not replaced cannot be made permanent by a call to
this function; a request to retain resources pertains to
newly created resources.
This function returns 0 on failure, non-zero on success. A
request to create a standard colormap upon a visual which
cannot support such a map is considered a failure. An exam-
ple of this would be requesting any standard colormap prop-
erty on a monochrome visual, or, requesting an RGB_BEST_MAP
on a display whose colormap size is 16.
-37-
Status XmuGetColormapAllocation(vinfo, property, red_max, green_max, blue_max)
XVisualInfo *vinfo;
Atom property;
unsigned long *red_max, *green_max, *blue_max;
vinfo specifies visual information for a chosen visual
property specifies one of the standard colormap property
names
red_max returns maximum red value
green_max returns maximum green value
blue_max returns maximum blue value
To determine the best allocation of reds, greens, and blues
in a standard colormap, use XmuGetColormapAllocation.
XmuGetColormapAllocation returns 0 on failure, non-zero on
success. It is assumed that the visual is appropriate for
the colormap property.
XStandardColormap *XmuStandardColormap(dpy, screen, visualid, depth, property,
cmap, red_max, green_max, blue_max)
Display dpy;
int screen;
VisualID visualid;
unsigned int depth;
Atom property;
Colormap cmap;
unsigned long red_max, green_max, blue_max;
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
screen specifies the screen of the display
visualid specifies the visual type
depth specifies the visual depth
property specifies the standard colormap property
cmap specifies the colormap ID, or None
red_max specifies the red allocation
green_max specifies the green allocation
blue_max specifies the blue allocation
-38-
To create any one standard colormap, use
XmuStandardColormap.
This function creates a standard colormap for the given
screen, visualid, and visual depth, with the given red,
green, and blue maximum values, with the given standard
property name. Upon success, it returns a pointer to an
XStandardColormap structure which describes the newly cre-
ated colormap. Upon failure, it returns NULL. If cmap is
the default colormap of the screen, the standard colormap
will be defined on the default colormap; otherwise a new
colormap is created.
Resources created by this function are not made permanent;
that is the caller's responsibility.
Status XmuCreateColormap(dpy, colormap)
Display *dpy;
XStandardColormap *colormap;
dpy specifies the connection under which the map is
created
colormap specifies the map to be created
To create any one colormap which is described by an XStan-
dardColormap structure, use XmuCreateColormap.
This function returns 0 on failure, and non-zero on success.
The base_pixel of the colormap is set on success. Resources
created by this function are not made permanent. No argu-
ment error checking is provided; use at your own risk.
All colormaps are created with read-only allocations, with
the exception of read-only allocations of colors which fail
to return the expected pixel value, and these are individu-
ally defined as read/write allocations. This is done so
that all the cells defined in the colormap are contiguous,
for use in image processing. This typically happens with
White and Black in the default map.
Colormaps of static visuals are considered to be success-
fully created if the map of the static visual matches the
definition given in the standard colormap structure.
void XmuDeleteStandardColormap(dpy, screen, property)
Display *dpy;
int screen;
Atom property;
-39-
dpy specifies the connection to the X server
screen specifies the screen of the display
property specifies the standard colormap property
To remove any standard colormap property, use
XmuDeleteStandardColormap. This function will remove the
specified property from the specified screen, releasing any
resources used by the colormap(s) of the property, if possi-
ble.
16. Widget Description Functions
The functions defined in this section are for building a
description of the structure of and resources associated
with a hierarchy of widget classes. This package is typi-
cally used by applications that wish to manipulate the wid-
get set itself.
The definitions needed to use these interfaces are in the
header file <X11/Xmu/WidgetNode.h>. The following function
must be called before any of the others described below:
void XmuWnInitializeNodes(node_array, num_nodes)
XmuWidgetNode *node_array;
int num_nodes;
node_array
specifies a list of widget classes, in alphabeti-
cal order
num_nodes specfies the number of widget classes in the node
array
To determine the resources provided by a widget class or
classes, use
void XmuWnFetchResources(node, toplevel, top_node)
XmuWidgetNode *node;
Widget toplevel;
XmuWidgetNode *top_node;
node specifies the widget class for which resources
should be obtained.
toplevel specifies the widget that should be used for cre-
ating an instance of node from which resources are
extracted. This is typically the value returned
-40-
by XtAppInitialize.
top_node specifies the ancestor of node that should be
treated as the root of the widget inheritance tree
(used in determining which ancestor contributed
which resources).
Each widget class inherits the resources of its parent. To
count the number of resources contributed by a particular
widget class, use:
int XmuWnCountOwnedResources(node, owner_node, constraints)
XmuWidgetNode *node;
XmuWidgetNode *owner_node;
Bool constraints;
node specifies the widget class whose resources are
being examined.
owner_node
specifies the widget class of the ancestor of node
whose contributions are being counted.
constraints
specifies whether or not to count constraint
resources or normal resources.
This routine returns the number of resources contributed (or
``owned'') by the specified widget class.
XmuWidgetNode *XmuWnNameToNode(node_list, num_nodes, name)
XmuWidgetNode *node_list;
int num_nodes;
char *name;
node_list specifies a list of widget nodes
num_nodes specifies the number of nodes in the list
name specifies the name of the widget class in the node
list to search for
This function returns the WidgetNode in the list that
matches the given widget name or widget class name. If no
match is found, it returns NULL.

17. Participation in the Editres Protocol
To participate in the editres protocol, applications which
are not based on the Athena widget set should include the
header file <X11/Xmu/Editres.h>.
To participate in the editres protocol, Xt applications
which do not rely on the Athena widget set should register
the editres protocol handler on each shell widget in the
application, specifying an event mask of 0, nonmaskable
events, and client data as NULL:
XtAddEventHandler(shell, (EventMask) 0, True, _XEd-
itResCheckMessages, NULL);
