XSetClipRectangles(display, gc, clip_x_origin, clip_y_origin, rectangles, n, ordering)
Display *display;
GC gc;
int clip_x_origin, clip_y_origin;
XRectangle rectangles[];
int n;
int ordering;
display | Specifies the connection to the X server. |
gc | Specifies the GC. |
clip_x_origin clip_y_origin | Specify the x and y coordinates of the clip-mask origin. |
rectangles | Specifies an array of rectangles that define the clip-mask. |
n | Specifies the number of rectangles. |
ordering | Specifies the ordering relations on the rectangles. You can pass Unsorted, YSorted, YXSorted, or YXBanded. |
If known by the client, ordering relations on the rectangles can be specified with the ordering argument. This may provide faster operation by the server. If an incorrect ordering is specified, the X server may generate a BadMatch error, but it is not required to do so. If no error is generated, the graphics results are undefined. Unsorted means the rectangles are in arbitrary order. YSorted means that the rectangles are nondecreasing in their Y origin. YXSorted additionally constrains YSorted order in that all rectangles with an equal Y origin are nondecreasing in their X origin. YXBanded additionally constrains YXSorted by requiring that, for every possible Y scanline, all rectangles that include that scanline have an identical Y origins and Y extents.
XSetClipRectangles() can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.
BadAlloc | The server failed to allocate the requested source or server memory. |
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. |
