This includes +layer information relevant for systems supporting overlays and/or underlay +planes, and information that allows applications better to determine the level +of hardware support for multiple colormaps. XeviGetVisualInfo returns +.BR Success +if successful, or an X error otherwise. +If the argument +.I visual +is NULL, then information for all visuals of all +screens is returned. Otherwise, it's a pointer to a list of visuals for which +extended visual information is desired. +.I n_visual +is the number of elements in the array visual. +.I evi_return +returns a pointer to a list of ExtendedVisualInfo. When done, the client +should free the list using XFree\. +.I n_info_return +returns the number of elements in the array evi_return. +.LP +The +.BR ExtendedVisualInfo +structure has the following fields: +.in +.5i +.nf +.ta 1.6i +VisualID \fIcore_visual_id\fR +int \fIscreen\fR +int \fIlevel\fR +unsigned int \fItransparency_type\fR +unsigned int \fItransparency_value\fR +unsigned int \fImin_hw_colormaps\fR +unsigned int \fImax_hw_colormaps\fR +unsigned int \fInum_colormap_conflicts\fR +VisualID * \fIcolormap_conflicts\fR +.fi +.LP +The combination of +.I core_visual_id +and +.I screen +number uniquely specify the visual being described. +.LP +.I level +returns the level number for the visual, 0 for normal planes, > 0 for +overlays, < 0 for underlays. +.LP +.I +transparency_type +returns the type of transparency supported by the visual. XEVI_TRANSPARENCY_NONE if +there are no transparent pixels, XEVI_TRANSPARENCY_PIXEL if the visual supports +a transparent pixel, XEVI_TRANSPARENCY_MASK if the visual supports transparent +plane(s). +.LP +.I transparency_value +returns the pixel/plane value to set for transparency if transparency_type isn't +XEVI_TRANSPARENCY_NONE. +.LP +.I min_hw_colormaps +and +.I max_hw_colormaps +return the minimum and maximum number of hardware colormaps backing up the +visual. +.LP +.I num_colormap_conflicts +returns the number of elements in +.I colormap_conflicts. +This array returns a list of visuals that may cause conflicts in the use of the +hardware colormap. For example, if a 12-bit hardware colormap is overloaded to +support 8-bit colormaps, the corresponding 8-bit visuals would conflict with the +12-bit visuals. + +.SH ERRORS +.BR XeviGetVisualInfo +will return +.I BadValue +if passed an illegal visual ID, +.I BadAccess +if the X server does not respond, +.I BadAlloc +if there is a memory allocation failure. |
