planes attribute is of type long, and it specifies which planes of the +destination are to be modified, one bit per plane. +.IN "Plane" "mask" +A monochrome display has only one plane and +will be the least significant bit of the word. +As planes are added to the display hardware, they will occupy more +significant bits in the plane mask. +.LP +In graphics operations, given a source and destination pixel, +the result is computed bitwise on corresponding bits of the pixels. +That is, a Boolean operation is performed in each bit plane. +The plane_mask restricts the operation to a subset of planes. +A macro constant +.ZN AllPlanes +can be used to refer to all planes of the screen simultaneously. +The result is computed by the following: +.LP +.Ds +((src FUNC dst) AND plane-mask) OR (dst AND (NOT plane-mask)) +.De +.LP +Range checking is not performed on the values for foreground, +background, or plane_mask. +They are simply truncated to the appropriate +number of bits. +The line-width is measured in pixels and either can be greater than or equal to +one (wide line) or can be the special value zero (thin line). +.LP +Wide lines are drawn centered on the path described by the graphics request. +Unless otherwise specified by the join-style or cap-style, +the bounding box of a wide line with endpoints [x1, y1], [x2, y2] and +width w is a rectangle with vertices at the following real coordinates: +.LP +.Ds +.TA .5i 2.5i +.ta .5i 2.5i +[x1-(w*sn/2), y1+(w*cs/2)], [x1+(w*sn/2), y1-(w*cs/2)], +[x2-(w*sn/2), y2+(w*cs/2)], [x2+(w*sn/2), y2-(w*cs/2)] +.De +.LP +Here sn is the sine of the angle of the line, +and cs is the cosine of the angle of the line. +A pixel is part of the line and so is drawn +if the center of the pixel is fully inside the bounding box +(which is viewed as having infinitely thin edges). +If the center of the pixel is exactly on the bounding box, +it is part of the line if and only if the interior is immediately to its right +(x increasing direction). +Pixels with centers on a horizontal edge are a special case and are part of +the line if and only if the interior or the boundary is immediately below +(y increasing direction) and the interior or the boundary is immediately +to the right (x increasing direction). +.LP +Thin lines (zero line-width) are one-pixel-wide lines drawn using an +unspecified, device-dependent algorithm. +There are only two constraints on this algorithm. +.IP 1. 5 +If a line is drawn unclipped from [x1,y1] to [x2,y2] and +if another line is drawn unclipped from [x1+dx,y1+dy] to [x2+dx,y2+dy], +a point [x,y] is touched by drawing the first line +if and only if the point [x+dx,y+dy] is touched by drawing the second line. +.IP 2. 5 +The effective set of points comprising a line cannot be affected by clipping. +That is, a point is touched in a clipped line if and only if the point +lies inside the clipping region and the point would be touched +by the line when drawn unclipped. +.LP +A wide line drawn from [x1,y1] to [x2,y2] always draws the same pixels +as a wide line drawn from [x2,y2] to [x1,y1], not counting cap-style +and join-style. +It is recommended that this property be true for thin lines, +but this is not required. +A line-width of zero may differ from a line-width of one in which pixels are +drawn. +This permits the use of many manufacturers' line drawing hardware, +which may run many times faster than the more precisely specified +wide lines. +.LP +In general, +drawing a thin line will be faster than drawing a wide line of width one. +However, because of their different drawing algorithms, +thin lines may not mix well aesthetically with wide lines. +If it is desirable to obtain precise and uniform results across all displays, +a client should always use a line-width of one rather than a line-width of zero. +.LP +The line-style defines which sections of a line are drawn: +.TS +lw(1.3i) lw(4.5i). +T{ +.ZN LineSolid +T} T{ +The full path of the line is drawn. +T} +.sp 6p

dimensions. +When that plane is superimposed on the drawable +for use in a graphics operation, the upper-left corner +of some instance of the tile/stipple is at the coordinates within +the drawable specified by the tile/stipple origin. +The tile/stipple and clip origins are interpreted relative to the +origin of whatever destination drawable is specified in a graphics +request. +The tile pixmap must have the same root and depth as the GC, +or a +.ZN BadMatch +error results. +The stipple pixmap must have depth one and must have the same root as the +GC, or a +.ZN BadMatch +error results. +For stipple operations where the fill-style is +.ZN FillStippled +but not +.ZN FillOpaqueStippled , +the stipple pattern is tiled in a +single plane and acts as an additional clip mask to be ANDed with the clip-mask. +Although some sizes may be faster to use than others, +any size pixmap can be used for tiling or stippling. +.LP +The fill-style defines the contents of the source for line, text, and

+the change might or might not be reflected in the GC. +If the pixmap is used simultaneously in a graphics request both as +a destination and as a tile or stipple, +the results are undefined. +.LP +For optimum performance, +you should draw as much as possible with the same GC +(without changing its components). +The costs of changing GC components relative to using different GCs +depend on the display hardware and the server implementation. +It is quite likely that some amount of GC information will be +cached in display hardware and that such hardware can only cache a small number +of GCs. +.LP +The dashes value is actually a simplified form of the +more general patterns that can be set with +.ZN XSetDashes . +Specifying a +value of N is equivalent to specifying the two-element list [N, N] in +.ZN XSetDashes . +The value must be nonzero, +or a +.ZN BadValue +error results. +.LP +The clip-mask restricts writes to the destination drawable. +If the clip-mask is set to a pixmap, +it must have depth one and have the same root as the GC, +or a +.ZN BadMatch +error results. +If clip-mask is set to +.ZN None , +the pixels are always drawn regardless of the clip origin. +The clip-mask also can be set by calling the +.ZN XSetClipRectangles +or +.ZN XSetRegion +functions. +Only pixels where the clip-mask has a bit set to 1 are drawn. +Pixels are not drawn outside the area covered by the clip-mask +or where the clip-mask has a bit set to 0. +The clip-mask affects all graphics requests. +The clip-mask does not clip sources. +The clip-mask origin is interpreted relative to the origin of whatever +destination drawable is specified in a graphics request. +.LP +You can set the subwindow-mode to +.ZN ClipByChildren +or +.ZN IncludeInferiors . +For +.ZN ClipByChildren , +both source and destination windows are +additionally clipped by all viewable +.ZN InputOutput +children. +For +.ZN IncludeInferiors , +neither source nor destination window is clipped by inferiors. +This will result in including subwindow contents in the source +and drawing through subwindow boundaries of the destination. +The use of +.ZN IncludeInferiors +on a window of one depth with mapped +inferiors of differing depth is not illegal, but the semantics are +undefined by the core protocol. +.LP +The fill-rule defines what pixels are inside (drawn) for +paths given in +.ZN XFillPolygon +requests and can be set to +.ZN EvenOddRule +or +.ZN WindingRule . +For +.ZN EvenOddRule , +a point is inside if +an infinite ray with the point as origin crosses the path an odd number +of times. +For +.ZN WindingRule , +a point is inside if an infinite ray with the +point as origin crosses an unequal number of clockwise and +counterclockwise directed path segments. +A clockwise directed path segment is one that crosses the ray from left to +right as observed from the point. +A counterclockwise segment is one that crosses the ray from right to left +as observed from the point. +The case where a directed line segment is coincident with the ray is +uninteresting because you can simply choose a different ray that is not +coincident with a segment. +.LP +For both +.ZN EvenOddRule +and +.ZN WindingRule , +a point is infinitely small, +and the path is an infinitely thin line. +A pixel is inside if the center point of the pixel is inside +and the center point is not on the boundary. +If the center point is on the boundary, +the pixel is inside if and only if the polygon interior is immediately to +its right (x increasing direction). +Pixels with centers on a horizontal edge are a special case +and are inside if and only if the polygon interior is immediately below +(y increasing direction). +.LP +The arc-mode controls filling in the +.ZN XFillArcs +function and can be set to
