+\section{Introduction}
+
+The Double Buffer Extension (DBE) provides a standard way to utilize
+double-buffering within the framework of the X Window System.
+Double-buffering uses two buffers, called front and back, which hold
+images.  The front buffer is visible to the user; the back buffer is
+not.  Successive frames of an animation are rendered into the back
+buffer while the previously rendered frame is displayed in the front
+buffer.  When a new frame is ready, the back and front buffers swap
+roles, making the new frame visible.  Ideally, this exchange appears to
+happen instantaneously to the user and with no visual artifacts.  Thus,
+only completely rendered images are presented to the user, and they remain
+visible during the entire time it takes to render a new frame.  The
+result is a flicker-free animation.
+
+\section{Goals}
+
+This extension should enable clients to:
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Allocate and deallocate double-buffering for a window.
+
+\item Draw to and read from the front and back buffers associated with
+a window.
+
+\item Swap the front and back buffers associated with a window.
+
+\item Specify a wide range of actions to be taken when a window is
+swapped.  This includes explicit, simple swap actions (defined
+below), and more complex actions (for example, clearing ancillary buffers)
+that can be put together within explicit ``begin'' and ``end''
+requests (defined below).
+
+\item Request that the front and back buffers associated with multiple
+double-buffered windows be swapped simultaneously.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+In addition, the extension should:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Allow multiple clients to use double-buffering on the same window.
+
+\item Support a range of implementation methods that can capitalize on
+existing hardware features.
+
+\item Add no new event types.
+
+\item Be reasonably easy to integrate with a variety of direct graphics
+hardware access (DGHA) architectures.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{Concepts}
+
+Normal windows are created using the core \requestname{CreateWindow}
+request, which allocates a set of window attributes and, for
+\literal{InputOutput} windows, a front buffer,
+into which an image can be drawn.
+The contents of this buffer will be displayed when the window is
+visible.
+
+This extension enables applications to use double-buffering with a
+window.  This involves creating a second buffer, called a back buffer,
+and associating one or more back buffer names (\typename{XID}s) with
+the window for use when referring to (that is, drawing to or reading
+from) the window's back buffer.  The back buffer name is a
+\typename{DRAWABLE} of type \typename{BACKBUFFER}.
+
+DBE provides a relative double-buffering model.  One XID, the window,
+always refers to the front buffer.  One or more other XIDs, the back buffer
+names, always refer to the back buffer.  After a buffer swap, the
+window continues to refer to the (new) front buffer, and the
+back buffer name continues to refer to the (new) back buffer.  Thus,
+applications and toolkits that want to just render to the back buffer
+always use the back buffer name for all drawing requests to the
+window.  Portions of an application that want to render to the front
+buffer always use the window XID for all drawing requests to the
+window.
+
+Multiple clients and toolkits can all use double-buffering on the same
+window.  DBE does not provide a request for querying whether a window
+has double-buffering support, and if so, what the back buffer name is.
+Given the asynchronous nature of the X Window System, this would cause
+race conditions.  Instead, DBE allows multiple back buffer names to
+exist for the same window; they all refer to the same physical back
+buffer.  The first time a back buffer name is allocated for a window,
+the window becomes double-buffered and the back buffer name is
+associated with the window.  Subsequently, the window already is a
+double-buffered window, and nothing about the window changes when a
+new back buffer name is allocated, except that the new back buffer
+name is associated with the window.  The window remains
+double-buffered until either the window is destroyed or until all of
+the back buffer names for the window are deallocated.
+
+In general, both the front and back buffers are treated the same.  In
+particular, here are some important characteristics:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Only one buffer per window can be visible at a time (the
+front buffer).
+
+\item Both buffers associated with a window have the same visual type,
+depth, width, height, and shape as the window.
+
+\item Both buffers associated with a window are ``visible'' (or
+``obscured'') in the same way.  When an \literal{Expose} event is
+generated for
+a window, both buffers should be considered to be damaged in the
+exposed area.  Damage that occurs to either buffer will result in an
+\literal{Expose} event on the window.  When a double-buffered window is
+exposed,
+both buffers are tiled with the window background, exactly as stated
+by the core protocol.  Even though the back buffer is not visible,
+terms such as obscure apply to the back buffer as well as to the front
+buffer.
+
+\item It is acceptable at any time to pass a \typename{BACKBUFFER} in
+any request, notably any core or extension drawing request, that
+expects a \typename{DRAWABLE}.  This enables an application to draw
+directly into \typename{BACKBUFFER}s in the same fashion as it would
+draw into any other \typename{DRAWABLE}.
+
+\item It is an error (\literal{Window}) to pass a \typename{BACKBUFFER} in a
+core request that expects a Window.
+
+\item A \typename{BACKBUFFER} will never be sent by core X in a reply,
+event, or error where a Window is specified.
+\item If core X11 backing-store and save-under applies to a
+double-buffered window, it applies to both buffers equally.
+
+\item If the core \requestname{ClearArea} request is executed on a
+double-buffered window, the same area in both the front and back
+buffers is cleared.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+The effect of passing a window to a request that accepts a
+\typename{DRAWABLE} is unchanged by this extension.  The window and
+front buffer are synonomous with each other.  This includes obeying
+the \requestname{GetImage} semantics and the subwindow-mode semantics
+if a core graphics context is involved.  Regardless of whether the
+window was explicitly passed in a \requestname{GetImage} request, or
+implicitly referenced (that is, one of the window's ancestors was passed
+in the request), the front (that is, visible) buffer is always referenced.
+Thus, DBE-na\"{\i}ve screen dump clients will always get the front buffer.
+\requestname{GetImage} on a back buffer returns undefined image
+contents for any obscured regions of the back buffer that fall within
+the image.
+
+Drawing to a back buffer always uses the clip region that would be
+used to draw to the front buffer with a GC subwindow-mode of
+\literal{ClipByChildren}.  If an ancestor of a double-buffered window is drawn
+to with a core GC having a subwindow-mode of \literal{IncludeInferiors}, the
+effect on the double-buffered window's back buffer depends on the
+depth of the double-buffered window and the ancestor.  If the depths
+are the same, the contents of the back buffer of the double-buffered
+window are not changed.  If the depths are different, the contents of
+the back buffer of the double-buffered window are undefined for the
+pixels that the \literal{IncludeInferiors} drawing touched.
+
+DBE adds no new events.  DBE does not extend the semantics of any
+existing events with the exception of adding a new \typename{DRAWABLE}
+type called \typename{BACKBUFFER}.  If events, replies, or errors that
+contain a \typename{DRAWABLE} (for example, \literal{GraphicsExpose}) are
+generated in
+response to a request, the \typename{DRAWABLE} returned will be the
+one specified in the request.
+
+DBE advertises which visuals support double-buffering.
+
+DBE does not include any timing or synchronization facilities.
+Applications that need such facilities (for example, to maintain a constant
+frame rate) should investigate the Synchronization Extension, an X
+Consortium standard.
+
+\subsection{Window Management Operations}
+
+The basic philosophy of DBE is that both buffers are treated the same by
+core X window management operations.
+
+When the core \requestname{DestroyWindow} is executed on a
+double-buffered window, both buffers associated with the window are
+destroyed, and all back buffer names associated with the window are
+freed.
+
+If the core \requestname{ConfigureWindow} request changes the size of
+a window, both buffers assume the new size.  If the window's size
+increases, the effect on the buffers depends on whether the
+implementation honors bit gravity for buffers.  If bit gravity is
+implemented, then the contents of both buffers are moved in accordance
+with the window's bit gravity (see the core
+\requestname{ConfigureWindow} request), and the remaining areas are
+tiled with the window background.  If bit gravity is not implemented,
+then the entire unobscured region of both buffers is tiled with the
+window background.  In either case, \literal{Expose} events are generated for
+the region that is tiled with the window background.
+
+If the core \requestname{GetGeometry} request is executed on a
+\typename{BACKBUFFER}, the returned x, y, and border-width will be
+zero.
+
+If the Shape extension \requestname{ShapeRectangles},
+\requestname{ShapeMask}, \requestname{ShapeCombine}, or
+\requestname{ShapeOffset} request is executed on a double-buffered
+window, both buffers are reshaped to match the new window shape.  The
+region difference is the following:
+
+\[ D = new shape - old shape \]
+
+It is tiled with the window background in both buffers,
+and \literal{Expose} events are generated for D.
+
+\subsection{Complex Swap Actions}
+
+DBE has no explicit knowledge of ancillary buffers (for example, depth buffers
+or alpha buffers), and only has a limited set of defined swap actions.
+Some applications may need a richer set of swap actions than DBE
+provides.  Some DBE implementations have knowledge of ancillary
+buffers, and/or can provide a rich set of swap actions.  Instead of
+continually extending DBE to increase its set of swap actions, DBE
+provides a flexible ``idiom'' mechanism.  If an application's needs
+are served by the defined swap actions, it should use them; otherwise,
+it should use the following method of expressing a complex swap action
+as an idiom.  Following this policy will ensure the best possible
+performance across a wide variety of implementations.
+
+As suggested by the term ``idiom,'' a complex swap action should be
+expressed as a group/series of requests.  Taken together, this group
+of requests may be combined into an atomic operation by the
+implementation, in order to maximize performance.  The set of idioms
+actually recognized for optimization is implementation dependent.  To
+help with idiom expression and interpretation, an idiom must be
+surrounded by two protocol requests: \requestname{DBEBeginIdiom} and
+\requestname{DBEEndIdiom}.  Unless this begin-end pair surrounds the
+idiom, it may not be recognized by a given implementation, and
+performance will suffer.
+
+For example, if an application wants to swap buffers for two windows,
+and use core X to clear only certain planes of the back buffers, the
+application would issue the following protocol requests as a group, and
+in the following order:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \requestname{DBEBeginIdiom} request.
+\item \requestname{DBESwapBuffers} request with XIDs for two windows, each
+of which uses a swap action of \literal{Untouched}.
+\item Core X \requestname{PolyFillRectangle} request to the back buffer of one window.
+\item Core X \requestname{PolyFillRectangle} request to the back buffer of the other window.
+\item \requestname{DBEEndIdiom} request.
+\end{itemize}
+
+The \requestname{DBEBeginIdiom} and \requestname{DBEEndIdiom} requests
+do not perform any actions themselves.  They are treated as markers by
+implementations that can combine certain groups/series of requests as
+idioms, and are ignored by other implementations or for nonrecognized
+groups/series of requests.  If these requests are sent out of order,
+or are mismatched, no errors are sent, and the requests are executed
+as usual, though performance may suffer.
+
+An idiom need not include a \requestname{DBESwapBuffers} request.  For
+example, if a swap action of \literal{Copied} is desired, but only some of the
+planes should be copied, a core X \requestname{CopyArea} request may
+be used instead of \requestname{DBESwapBuffers}.  If
+\requestname{DBESwapBuffers} is included in an idiom, it should
+immediately follow the \requestname{DBEBeginIdiom} request.  Also,
+when the \requestname{DBESwapBuffers} is included in an idiom, that
+request's swap action will still be valid, and if the swap action
+might overlap with another request, then the final result of the idiom
+must be as if the separate requests were executed serially.  For
+example, if the specified swap action is \literal{Untouched}, and if a
+\requestname{PolyFillRectangle} using a client clip rectangle is done
+to the window's back buffer after the \requestname{DBESwapBuffers}
+request, then the contents of the new back buffer (after the idiom)
+will be the same as if the idiom was not recognized by the
+implementation.
+
+It is highly recommended that Application Programming Interface (API) 
+providers define, and application developers use, ``convenience'' functions 
+that allow client applications to call one procedure that encapsulates common idioms.
+These functions will generate the \requestname{DBEBeginIdiom} request,
+the idiom requests, and \requestname{DBEEndIdiom} request.  Usage of
+these functions will ensure best possible performance across a wide
+variety of implementations.

+\section{C Language Binding}
+
+The header for this extension is \verb|<X11/extensions/Xdbe.h>|.  All
+identifier names provided by this header begin with Xdbe.
+
+\subsection{Types}
+
+The type \libtypename{XdbeBackBuffer} is a \libtypename{Drawable}.
+
+The type \libtypename{XdbeSwapAction} can be one of the constants
+\literal{XdbeUndefined}, \literal{XdbeBackground},
+\literal{XdbeUntouched}, or \literal{XdbeCopied}.
+
+\subsection{C Functions}
+
+The C functions provide direct access to the protocol and add no
+additional semantics.  For complete details on the effects of these
+functions, refer to the appropriate protocol request, which can be
+derived by replacing Xdbe at the start of the function name with DBE\@.
+All functions that have return type \libtypename{Status} will return
+nonzero for success and zero for failure.

+
+\cfunctionname{XdbeQueryExtension} sets major\_version\_return and
+minor\_version\_return to the major and minor DBE protocol
+version supported by the server.  If the DBE library is compatible
+with the version returned by the server, it returns

+there was an error during communication with the server, or if the
+server and library protocol versions are incompatible, it

+\cfunctionname{XdbeGetVisualInfo}  returns information about which visuals support
+double buffering.  The argument num\_screens specifies how many
+elements there are in the screen\_specifiers list.  Each
+drawable in screen\_specifiers designates a screen for which
+the supported visuals are being requested.  If num\_screens
+is zero, information for all screens is requested.  In this case, upon
+return from this function, num\_screens will be set to the
+number of screens that were found.  If an error occurs, this function
+returns NULL; otherwise, it returns a pointer to a list of
+\libtypename{XdbeScreenVisualInfo} structures of length num\_screens.
+The {\it n}th element in the returned list corresponds to the {\it n}th
+drawable in the screen\_specifiers list, unless
+num\_screens was passed in with the value zero, in which

+The Double Buffer Extension (DBE) provides a standard way to utilize
+double-buffering within the framework of the X Window System.
+Double-buffering uses two buffers, called front and back, which hold images.
+The front buffer is visible to the user; the back buffer is not. Successive
+frames of an animation are rendered into the back buffer while the previously
+rendered frame is displayed in the front buffer. When a new frame is ready,
+the back and front buffers swap roles, making the new frame visible. Ideally,
+this exchange appears to happen instantaneously to the user and with no
+visual artifacts. Thus, only completely rendered images are presented to the
+user, and they remain visible during the entire time it takes to render a new
+frame. The result is a flicker-free animation.

+<para>
+Normal windows are created using the core CreateWindow request, which
+allocates a set of window attributes and, for InputOutput windows, a front
+buffer, into which an image can be drawn. The contents of this buffer will be
+displayed when the window is visible.
+</para>
+<para>
+This extension enables applications to use double-buffering with a window.
+This involves creating a second buffer, called a back buffer, and associating
+one or more back buffer names (XIDs) with the window for use when referring
+to (that is, drawing to or reading from) the window’s back buffer. The back
+buffer name is a DRAWABLE of type BACKBUFFER.
+</para>
+<para>
+DBE provides a relative double-buffering model. One XID, the window,
+always refers to the front buffer. One or more other XIDs, the back buffer
+names, always refer to the back buffer. After a buffer swap, the window
+continues to refer to the (new) front buffer, and the back buffer name
+continues to refer to the (new) back buffer. Thus, applications and toolkits
+that want to just render to the back buffer always use the back buffer name
+for all drawing requests to the window. Portions of an application that want
+to render to the front buffer always use the window XID for all drawing
+requests to the window.
+</para>
+<para>
+Multiple clients and toolkits can all use double-buffering on the same window.
+DBE does not provide a request for querying whether a window has
+double-buffering support, and if so, what the back buffer name is. Given the
+asynchronous nature of the X Window System, this would cause race
+conditions. Instead, DBE allows multiple back buffer names to exist for the
+same window; they all refer to the same physical back buffer. The first time a
+back buffer name is allocated for a window, the window becomes
+double-buffered and the back buffer name is associated with the window.
+Subsequently, the window already is a double-buffered window, and nothing
+about the window changes when a new back buffer name is allocated, except
+that the new back buffer name is associated with the window. The window
+remains double-buffered until either the window is destroyed or until all of the
+back buffer names for the window are deallocated.
+</para>
+<para>
+In general, both the front and back buffers are treated the same.
+particular, here are some important characteristics:
+</para>
+<itemizedlist>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+Only one buffer per window can be visible at a time (the front buffer).
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+Both buffers associated with a window have the same visual type, depth,
+width, height, and shape as the window.
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+Both buffers associated with a window are "visible" (or "obscured") in
+the same way. When an Expose event is generated for a window, both
+buffers should be considered to be damaged in the exposed area.
+Damage that occurs to either buffer will result in an Expose event on
+the window. When a double-buffered window is exposed, both buffers
+are tiled with the window background, exactly as stated by the core
+protocol. Even though the back buffer is not visible, terms such as
+obscure apply to the back buffer as well as to the front buffer.
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+It is acceptable at any time to pass a BACKBUFFER in any request,
+notably any core or extension drawing request, that expects a
+DRAWABLE.  This enables an application to draw directly into
+BACKBUFFERs in the same fashion as it would draw into any other
+DRAWABLE.
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+It is an error (Window) to pass a BACKBUFFER in a core request that
+expects a Window.
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+A BACKBUFFER will never be sent by core X in a reply, event, or
+error where a Window is specified.
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+If core X11 backing-store and save-under applies to a double-buffered
+window, it applies to both buffers equally.
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+If the core ClearArea request is executed on a double-buffered window,
+the same area in both the front and back buffers is cleared.
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+The effect of passing a window to a request that accepts a
+<function>DRAWABLE</function> is
+unchanged by this extension. The window and front buffer are synonomous
+with each other. This includes obeying the <function>GetImage</function>
+semantics and the
+subwindow-mode semantics if a core graphics context is involved. Regardless
+of whether the window was explicitly passed in a
+<function>GetImage</function> request, or
+implicitly referenced (that is, one of the window’s ancestors was passed in the
+request), the front (that is, visible) buffer is always referenced. Thus,
+DBE-naive screen dump clients will always get the front buffer.
+<function>GetImage</function> on
+a back buffer returns undefined image contents for any obscured regions of the
+back buffer that fall within the image.
+</para>
+<para>
+Drawing to a back buffer always uses the clip region that would be used to
+draw to the front buffer with a GC subwindow-mode of
+<function>ClipByChildren</function>. If
+an ancestor of a double-buffered window is drawn to with a core GC having a
+subwindow-mode of IncludeInferiors, the effect on the double-buffered
+window’s back buffer depends on the depth of the double-buffered window
+and the ancestor. If the depths are the same, the contents of the back buffer
+of the double-buffered window are not changed. If the depths are different,
+the contents of the back buffer of the double-buffered window are undefined
+for the pixels that the <function>IncludeInferiors</function> drawing touched.
+</para>
+
+
+<para>
+DBE adds no new events. DBE does not extend the semantics of any existing
+events with the exception of adding a new DRAWABLE type called
+BACKBUFFER. If events, replies, or errors that contain a DRAWABLE (for
+example, <function>GraphicsExpose</function>) are generated in response to
+a request, the
+DRAWABLE returned will be the one specified in the request.
+</para>
+<para>
+DBE advertises which visuals support double-buffering.
+</para>
+<para>
+DBE does not include any timing or synchronization facilities. Applications
+that need such facilities (for example, to maintain a constant frame rate)
+should investigate the Synchronization Extension, an X Consortium standard.
+</para>
+
+<sect1 id="window_management_operations">
+<title>Window Management Operations</title>
+
+<para>
+The basic philosophy of DBE is that both buffers are treated the same by core
+X window management operations.
+</para>
+<para>
+When the core <function>DestroyWindow</function> is executed on a
+double-buffered window, both buffers associated with the window are
+destroyed, and all back buffer names associated with the window are freed.
+</para>
+<para>
+If the core <function>ConfigureWindow</function> request changes the size
+of a window, both buffers assume the new size. If the window’s size
+increases, the effect on the buffers depends on whether the implementation
+honors bit gravity for buffers.
+If bit gravity is implemented, then the contents of both buffers are moved in
+accordance with the window’s bit gravity (see the core
+<function>ConfigureWindow</function>
+request), and the remaining areas are tiled with the window background. If
+bit gravity is not implemented, then the entire unobscured region of both
+buffers is tiled with the window background. In either case,
+<function>Expose</function> events are
+generated for the region that is tiled with the window background.
+If the core GetGeometry request is executed on a BACKBUFFER, the
+returned x, y, and border-width will be zero.
+</para>
+<para>
+If the Shape extension
+<function>ShapeRectangles</function>,
+<function>ShapeMask</function>,
+<function>ShapeCombine</function>, or
+<function>ShapeOffset</function>
+request is executed on a double-buffered window, both buffers
+are reshaped to match the new window shape. The region difference is the
+following:
+</para>
+
+<literallayout remap='Ds'>
+        D = newshape − oldshape
+</literallayout>
+
+<para>
+It is tiled with the window background in both buffers, and
+<function>Expose</function>
+events are generated for D.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1 id="complex_swap_actions">
+<title>Complex Swap Actions</title>
+<para>
+DBE has no explicit knowledge of ancillary buffers (for example, depth buffers
+or alpha buffers), and only has a limited set of defined swap actions. Some
+applications may need a richer set of swap actions than DBE provides. Some
+DBE implementations have knowledge of ancillary buffers, and/or can provide
+a rich set of swap actions. Instead of continually extending DBE to increase
+its set of swap actions, DBE provides a flexible "idiom" mechanism. If an
+application’s needs are served by the defined swap actions, it should use them;
+otherwise, it should use the following method of expressing a complex swap
+action as an idiom. Following this policy will ensure the best possible
+performance across a wide variety of implementations.
+</para>
+<para>
+As suggested by the term "idiom," a complex swap action should be expressed
+as a group/series of requests. Taken together, this group of requests may be
+combined into an atomic operation by the implementation, in order to
+maximize performance. The set of idioms actually recognized for optimization
+is implementation dependent.
+To help with idiom expression and
+interpretation, an idiom must be surrounded by two protocol requests:
+<function>DBEBeginIdiom</function> and <function>DBEEndIdiom</function>.
+Unless this begin-end pair surrounds the idiom, it may not be recognized
+by a given implementation, and performance will suffer.
+</para>
+<para>
+For example, if an application wants to swap buffers for two windows, and use
+core X to clear only certain planes of the back buffers, the application would
+issue the following protocol requests as a group, and in the following order:
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+<function>DBEBeginIdiom</function> request.
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+<function>DBESwapBuffers</function> request with XIDs for two windows, each of which uses
+a swap action of Untouched.
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+Core X <function>PolyFillRectangle</function> request to the back buffer of one window.
+    </para>

+    <para>
+Core X <function>PolyFillRectangle</function> request to the back buffer of the other

+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+<function>DBEEndIdiom</function> request.
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+The <function>DBEBeginIdiom</function> and <function>DBEEndIdiom</function>
+requests do not perform any actions
+themselves. They are treated as markers by implementations that can
+combine certain groups/series of requests as idioms, and are ignored by other
+implementations or for nonrecognized groups/series of requests. If these
+requests are sent out of order, or are mismatched, no errors are sent, and the
+requests are executed as usual, though performance may suffer.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+
+An idiom need not include a <function>DBESwapBuffers</function> request.
+For example, if a swap action of <function>Copied</function> is desired,
+but only some of the planes should be copied, a core X
+<function>CopyArea</function> request may be used instead of
+<function>DBESwapBuffers</function>. If
+<function>DBESwapBuffers</function> is included in an idiom, it should
+immediately follow the
+<function>DBEBeginIdiom</function> request. Also, when the
+<function>DBESwapBuffers</function> is included in an idiom, that
+request’s swap action will still be valid, and if the swap action
+might overlap with another request, then the final result of the idiom must be
+as if the separate requests were executed serially. For example, if the
+specified swap action is <function>Untouched</function>, and if a
+<function>PolyFillRectangle</function> using a client clip
+rectangle is done to the window’s back buffer after the
+<function>DBESwapBuffers</function> request, then the contents of the new
+back buffer (after the idiom) will be the
+same as if the idiom was not recognized by the implementation.
+</para>
+<para>
+It is highly recommended that Application Programming Interface (API)
+providers define, and application developers use, "convenience" functions that
+allow client applications to call one procedure that encapsulates common
+idioms. These functions will generate the
+<function>DBEBeginIdiom</function> request, the idiom
+requests, and <function>DBEEndIdiom</function> request. Usage of these
+functions will ensure best possible performance across a wide
+variety of implementations.

+<title>Overview</title>
+
+<para>This extension provides X Protocol control over the VESA Display
+Power Management Signaling (DPMS) characteristics of video boards
+under control of the X Window System.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Traditionally, the X Window System has provided for both blanking and
+non-blanking screen savers.  Timeouts associated with these built-in
+screen saver mechanisms are limited to idle (dwell) time, and a change
+timeout that specifies the change interval for non-blanking screen savers.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The United States' Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star program
+requires that monitors power down after some idle time by default.
+While it is possible to simply overload the existing screen saver timeouts,
+this solution leaves the non-privileged user little to no control over
+the DPMS characteristics of his or her system.  For example, disabling
+DPMS would require some unintended side effect in the core screen saver,
+such as disabling the changing of a non-blanking screen saver.  Providing
+clients with this control requires an extension to the core X Window System
+Protocol, and this extension seeks to fill this gap.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There are four power levels specified by the Video Electronics Standards
+Association (VESA) Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard.
+These are mapped onto the X DPMS Extension like this:

+The DPMSSetTimeouts function permits applications to set the timeout values
+used by the X server for DPMS timings.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The value <emphasis remap='I'>standby</emphasis> is the amount of time of
+inactivity in seconds before standby mode is invoked. The actual effects of
+this mode are implementation defined, but in the case of DPMS compliant
+hardware, it is implemented by shutting off the horizontal sync signal,
+and pulsing the vertical sync signal.
+Standby mode provides the quickest monitor recovery time.  Note also that
+many monitors implement this mode identically to suspend mode.  A value
+of zero disables this mode.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The value <emphasis remap='I'>suspend</emphasis> is the amount of time of
+inactivity in seconds before the second level of power savings is invoked.
+Suspend mode's physical and electrical characteristics are implementation
+defined, but in DPMS compliant hardware, results in the pulsing of the
+horizontal sync signal, and shutting off of the vertical sync signal.
+Suspend mode recovery is considered to be slower than standby mode, but
+faster than off mode, however this is monitor dependent.  As noted above,
+many monitors implement this mode identically to standby mode.  A value of
+zero disables this mode.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The value <emphasis remap='I'>off</emphasis> is the amount of time of
+inactivity in seconds before the third and final level of power savings is
+invoked. Off mode's physical and electrical characteristics are
+implementation defined, but in DPMS compliant hardware, is implemented by
+shutting off both horizontal and vertical sync signals, resulting in
+the power-down of the monitor.  Recovery time is implementation dependant,
+but frequently is similar to the power-up time of the monitor.  A value
+of zero disables this mode.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Chronologically, standby mode occurs before or simultaneously with
+suspend mode, and suspend mode must occur before or simultaneously with
+off mode.  Therefore, non-zero mode timeout values must be greater than
+or equal to the timeout values of earlier modes.  If inconsistent values
+are supplied, a BadValue error will result.

+<title>Overview</title>
+
+<para>This extension provides arbitrary window and border shapes within
+the X11 protocol.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The restriction of rectangular windows within the X protocol is a significant
+limitation in the implementation of many styles of user interface.  For
+example, many transient windows would like to display a
+&ldquo;drop shadow&rdquo; to give the illusion of 3 dimensions.  As
+another example, some user interface style guides call for buttons with
+rounded corners; the full simulation of a nonrectangular shape,
+particularly with respect to event distribution and cursor shape, is not
+possible within the core X protocol.  As a final example, round clocks
+and nonrectangular icons are desirable visual addition to the desktop.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This extension provides mechanisms for changing the visible shape of a
+window to an arbitrary, possibly disjoint, nonrectangular form.  The intent
+of the extension is to supplement the existing semantics, not replace them.
+In particular, it is desirable for clients that are unaware of the
+extension to still be able to cope reasonably with shaped windows.  For
+example, window managers should still be able to negotiate screen
+real estate in rectangular pieces.  Toward this end, any shape specified for
+a window is clipped by the bounding rectangle for the window as specified by
+the window's geometry in the core protocol.  An expected convention would be
+that client programs expand their shape to fill the area offered by the
+window manager.
+</para>
+</chapter>
+
+<chapter id='description'>
+<title>Description</title>
+
+<para>
+Each window (even with no shapes specified) is defined by two regions:  the
+<emphasis remap='I'>bounding region</emphasis> and the
+<emphasis remap='I'>clip region</emphasis>.  The bounding region is the
+area of the parent window that the window will occupy (including border).
+The clip region is the subset of the bounding region that is available for
+subwindows and graphics.  The area between the bounding region and the
+clip region is defined to be the border of the window.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+A nonshaped window will have a bounding region that is a rectangle spanning
+the window, including its border; the clip region will be a rectangle
+filling the inside dimensions (not including the border).  In this document,
+these areas are referred to as the
+<emphasis remap='I'>default bounding region</emphasis> and the
+<emphasis remap='I'>default clip region</emphasis>.  For a window with
+inside size of <emphasis remap='I'>width</emphasis> by
+<emphasis remap='I'>height</emphasis> and border width
+<emphasis remap='I'>bwidth</emphasis>, the default bounding and clip
+regions are the rectangles (relative to the window origin):
+</para>
+
+<literallayout remap='Ds'>
+bounding.x = -<emphasis remap='I'>bwidth</emphasis>
+bounding.y = -<emphasis remap='I'>bwidth</emphasis>
+bounding.width = <emphasis remap='I'>width</emphasis> + 2 * <emphasis remap='I'>bwidth</emphasis>
+bounding.height = <emphasis remap='I'>height</emphasis> + 2 * <emphasis remap='I'>bwidth</emphasis>
+
+clip.x = 0
+clip.y = 0
+clip.width = <emphasis remap='I'>width</emphasis>
+clip.height = <emphasis remap='I'>height</emphasis>
+</literallayout>
+
+<para>
+This extension allows a client to modify either or both of the bounding or
+clip regions by specifying new regions that combine with the default
+regions.  These new regions are called the
+<emphasis remap='I'>client bounding region</emphasis> and the
+<emphasis remap='I'>client clip region</emphasis>.  They are specified
+relative to the origin of the window and are always defined by offsets
+relative to the window origin (that is, region adjustments are not
+required when the window is moved).  Three mechanisms for specifying
+regions are provided:  a list of rectangles, a bitmap, and an existing
+bounding or clip region from a window.  This is modeled on the specification
+of regions in graphics contexts in the core protocol and allows a variety
+of different uses of the extension.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When using an existing window shape as an operand in specifying a new shape,
+the client region is used, unless none has been set, in which case the
+default region is used instead.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The <emphasis remap='I'>effective bounding region</emphasis> of a window is
+defined to be the intersection of the client bounding region with the default
+bounding region.  Any portion of the client bounding region that is not
+included in the default bounding region will not be included in the
+effective bounding region on the screen.  This means that window managers
+(or other geometry managers) used to dealing with rectangular client windows
+will be able to constrain the client to a rectangular area of the screen.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Construction of the effective bounding region is dynamic; the client bounding
+region is not mutated to obtain the effective bounding region.  If a client
+bounding region is specified that extends beyond the current default bounding
+region, and the window is later enlarged, the effective bounding region will
+be enlarged to include more of the client bounding region.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The <emphasis remap='I'>effective clip region</emphasis> of a window is
+defined to be the intersection of the client clip region with both the
+default clip region and the client bounding region.  Any portion of the
+client clip region that is not included in both the default clip region
+and the client bounding region will not be included in the effective clip
+region on the screen.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Construction of the effective clip region is dynamic; the client clip region is
+not mutated to obtain the effective clip region.  If a client clip region is
+specified that extends beyond the current default clip region and the
+window or its bounding region is later enlarged, the effective clip region will
+be enlarged to include more of the client clip region if it is included in
+the effective bounding region.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The border of a window is defined to be the difference between the effective
+bounding region and the effective clip region.  If this region is empty, no
+border is displayed.  If this region is nonempty, the border is filled
+using the border-tile or border-pixel of the window as specified in the core
+protocol.  Note that a window with a nonzero border width will never be able
+to draw beyond the default clip region of the window.  Also note that a zero
+border width does not prevent a window from having a border, since the clip
+shape can still be made smaller than the bounding shape.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+All output to the window and visible regions of any subwindows will be
+clipped to the effective clip region.  The server must not retain window
+contents beyond the effective bounding region with backing store.  The window's
+origin (for graphics operations, background tiling, and subwindow placement)
+is not affected by the existence of a bounding region or clip region.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Areas that are inside the default bounding region but outside the effective
+bounding region are not part of the window; these areas of the screen will
+be occupied by other windows.  Input events that occur within the default
+bounding region but outside the effective bounding region will be delivered as
+if the window was not occluding the event position.  Events that occur in
+a nonrectangular border of a window will be delivered to that window, just
+as for events that occur in a normal rectangular border.
+</para>
+
+<para>An
+<function>InputOnly</function>
+window can have its bounding region set, but it is a
+<function>Match</function>
+error to attempt to set a clip region on an
+<function>InputOnly</function>
+window or to specify its clip region as a source to a request
+in this extension.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The server must accept changes to the clip region of a root window, but
+the server is permitted to ignore requested changes to the bounding region
+of a root window.  If the server accepts bounding region changes, the contents
+of the screen outside the bounding region are implementation dependent.

+\section{Synchronization Protocol}
+
+The core X protocol makes no guarantees about the relative order of execution
+of requests for different clients. This means that any synchronization between
+clients must be done at the client level in an operating system-dependent and
+network-dependent manner. Even if there was an accepted standard for such
+synchronization, the use of a network introduces unpredictable delays between
+the synchronization of the clients and the delivery of the resulting requests
+to the X server.
+
+The core X protocol also makes no guarantees about the time at which requests
+are executed, which means that all clients with real-time constraints must
+implement their timing on the host computer. Any such timings are subject to
+error introduced by delays within the operating system and network and are
+inefficient because of the need for round-trip requests that keep the client and
+server synchronized.
+
+The synchronization extension provides primitives that allow synchronization
+between clients to take place entirely within the X server. This removes any
+error introduced by the network and makes it possible to synchronize clients
+on different hosts running different operating systems. This is important for
+multimedia applications, where audio, video, and graphics data streams are
+being synchronized. The extension also provides internal timers within the X
+server to which client requests can be synchronized. This allows simple
+animation applications to be implemented without any round-trip requests and
+makes best use of buffering within the client, network, and server.
+
+\subsection{Description}
+
+The mechanism used by this extension for synchronization within the X server
+is to block the processing of requests from a client until a specific
+synchronization condition occurs. When the condition occurs, the client is
+released and processing of requests continues. Multiple clients may block on
+the same condition to give inter-client synchronization.  Alternatively, a
+single client may block on a condition such as an animation frame marker.
+
+The extension adds \defn{Counter} and \defn{Alarm} to the set of resources
+managed by the server. A counter has a 64-bit integer value that may be
+increased or decreased by client requests or by the server internally. A
+client can block by sending an \request{Await} request that waits until
+one of a set of synchronization conditions, called TRIGGERs, becomes TRUE.
+
+The \request{CreateCounter} request allows a client to create a
+\defn{Counter} that can be changed by explicit \request{SetCounter} and
+\request{ChangeCounter} requests. These can be used to implement
+synchronization between different clients.
+
+There are some counters, called \defn{System Counters}, that are changed by
+the server internally rather than by client requests. The effect of any change
+to a system counter is not visible until the server has finished processing the
+current request. In other words, system counters are apparently updated in the
+gaps between the execution of requests rather than during the actual execution
+of a request. The extension provides a system counter that advances with the
+server time as defined by the core protocol, and it may also provide counters
+that advance with the real-world time or that change each time the CRT
+screen is refreshed.  Other extensions may provide their own
+extension-specific system counters.
+
+The extension provides an \defn{Alarm} mechanism that allows clients to
+receive an event on a regular basis when a particular counter is changed.
+
+\section{C Language Binding}
+
+The C routines provide direct access to	the protocol and add
+no additional semantics.
+
+The include file for this extension is \verb|<X11/extensions/sync.h>|.
+
+Most of the names in the language binding are derived from the
+protocol names by prepending \cfunctionname{XSync} to the protocol name and changing
+the capitalization.
+
+\subsection{C Functions}
+
+Most of the following functions generate SYNC protocol requests.
+
+% start marker
+\cstartfunction{Status}{XSyncQueryExtension}
+\cargdecl{Display *}{dpy},
+\cargdecl{int *}{event\_base\_return},
+\cargdecl{int *}{error\_base\_return}
+\cendfunctiondecl
+% end marker
+
+If dpy supports the SYNC extension, \cfunctionname{XSyncQueryExtension}
+returns \cconst{True}, sets *event\_base\_return to the event number for the
+first SYNC event, and sets
+*error\_base\_return to the error number for the first SYNC
+error.  If dpy does not support the SYNC extension, it
+returns \cconst{False}.

+\cargdecl{Display *}{dpy},
+\cargdecl{int *}{major\_version\_return},
+\cargdecl{int *}{minor\_version\_return}
+\cendfunctiondecl
+% end marker
+
+\cfunctionname{XSyncInitialize} sets *major\_version\_return and
+*minor\_version\_return to the major/minor SYNC protocol
+version supported by the server.  If the XSync library is compatible
+with the version returned by the server, this function returns \cconst{True}.
+If dpy does not support the SYNC extension, or if there was an error during
+communication with the server, or if the server and library protocol
+versions are incompatible, this function returns \cconst{False}.  The only
+XSync function that may be called before this function is
+\cfunctionname{XSyncQueryExtension}.  If a client violates this rule,
+the effects of all XSync calls that it makes are undefined.

+<chapter id="synchronization_protocol">
+<title>Synchronization Protocol</title>
+
+<para>
+The core X protocol makes no guarantees about the relative order of
+execution of requests for different clients.  This means that any
+synchronization between clients must be done at the client level in an
+operating system-dependent and network-dependent manner. Even if there
+was an accepted standard for such synchronization, the use of a network
+introduces unpredictable delays between the synchronization of the clients and
+the delivery of the resulting requests to the X server.
+</para>
+<para>
+The core X protocol also makes no guarantees about the time at which
+requests are executed, which means that all clients with real-time constraints
+must implement their timing on the host computer. Any such timings are
+subject to error introduced by delays within the operating system and
+network and are ineﬃcient because of the need for round-trip requests that
+keep the client and server synchronized.
+</para>
+<para>
+The synchronization extension provides primitives that allow synchronization
+between clients to take place entirely within the X server. This removes any
+error introduced by the network and makes it possible to synchronize clients
+on different hosts running different operating systems. This is important for
+multimedia applications, where audio, video, and graphics data streams are
+being synchronized. The extension also provides internal timers within the X
+server to which client requests can be synchronized. This allows simple
+animation applications to be implemented without any round-trip requests
+and makes best use of buffering within the client, network, and server.
+</para>
+
+<sect1 id="description">
+<title>Description</title>
+<para>
+The mechanism used by this extension for synchronization within the X server
+is to block the processing of requests from a client until a specific
+synchronization condition occurs. When the condition occurs, the client is
+released and processing of requests continues. Multiple clients may block on
+the same condition to give inter-client synchronization. Alternatively, a single
+client may block on a condition such as an animation frame marker.
+</para>
+<para>
+The extension adds <function>Counter</function> and
+<function>Alarm</function> to the set of resources managed by
+the server. A counter has a 64-bit integer value that may be increased or
+decreased by client requests or by the server internally. A client can
+block by sending an <function>Await</function> request that waits until
+one of a set of synchronization conditions, called TRIGGERs, becomes TRUE.
+</para>
+<para>
+The <function>CreateCounter</function> request allows a client to create
+a <function>Counter</function> that can be changed by explicit
+<function>SetCounter</function> and <function>ChangeCounter</function>
+requests. These can be used to implement synchronization between
+different clients.
+</para>
+<para>
+There are some counters, called <function>System Counters</function>,
+that are changed by the server internally rather than by client
+requests. The effect of any change to a system counter is not visible
+until the server has finished processing the current request. In other
+words, system counters are apparently updated in the gaps between the
+execution of requests rather than during the actual execution of a
+request. The extension provides a system counter that advances with the
+server time as defined by the core protocol, and it may also provide
+counters that advance with the real-world time or that change each
+time the CRT screen is refreshed. Other extensions may provide their own
+extension-specific system counters.
+</para>
+<para>
+The extension provides an <function>Alarm</function> mechanism that allows clients to receive an
+event on a regular basis when a particular counter is changed.
