The argument +.I num_screens +specifies how many elements there are +in the +.I screen_specifiers +list. Each drawable in +.I screen_specifiers +designates a +screen for which the supported visuals are being requested. If +.I num_screens +is zero, information for all screens is requested. In this case, upon return +from this function, +.I num_screens +will be set to the number of screens that were +found. If an error occurs, this function returns NULL, else it returns a +pointer to a list of +.I XdbeScreenVisualInfo +structures of length +.I num_screens. +The nth +element in the returned list corresponds to the nth drawable in the +.I screen_specifiers +list, unless +.I num_screens +was passed in with the value zero, +in which case the nth element in the returned list corresponds to the nth screen +of the server, starting with screen zero. The +.I XdbeScreenVisualInfo +structure has the following fields: + + int count + XdbeVisualInfo *visinfo + +.I count +specifies the number of items in +.I visinfo. +.I visinfo +specifies a list of visuals, depths, and performance hints for this screen. + +The +.I XdbeVisualInfo +structure has the following fields: + + VisualID visual + int depth + int perflevel + +.I visual +specifies one visual ID that supports double-buffering. +.I depth +specifies the depth of the visual. +.I perflevel +is a performance hint. + +The only operation defined on a +.I perflevel +is comparison to a +.I perflevel +of another visual on the same screen. The visual having the higher +.I perflevel +is likely to have better double-buffering graphics performance than the visual +having the lower +.I perflevel. +Nothing can be deduced from the following: the magnitude of the difference +of two +.I perflevels, +a +.I perflevel +value in isolation, or comparing +.I perflevels +from different servers. + +.SH ERRORS +.IP BadDrawable +One or more values passed in +.I screen_specifiers +is not a valid drawable. +.SH SEE ALSO +DBE, +.I XdbeAllocateBackBufferName(), +.I XdbeBeginIdiom(), +.I XdbeDeallocateBackBufferName(), +.I XdbeEndIdiom(), +.I XdbeFreeVisualInfo(), +.I XdbeGetBackBufferAttributes(), +.I XdbeQueryExtension(), +.I XdbeSwapBuffers(). + |
