Description
The
XFreeColormap()
function deletes the association between the colormap resource ID
and the colormap and frees the colormap storage.
However, this function has no effect on the default colormap for a screen.
If the specified colormap is an installed map for a screen,
it is uninstalled (see
XUninstallColormap()).
If the specified colormap is defined as the colormap for a window (by
XCreateWindow(),
XSetWindowColormap(),
or
XChangeWindowAttributes()),
XFreeColormap()
changes the colormap associated with the window to
None
and generates a
ColormapNotify
event.
X does not define the colors displayed for a window with a colormap of
None .
XFreeColormap()
can generate a
BadColor
error.
Diagnostics
| BadColor
| A value for a Colormap argument does not name a
defined Colormap.
