.SH ARGUMENTS

.IP \fIdisplay\fP li
Specifies the connection to the X server.
.IP \fId\fP li
Specifies which screen the pixmap is created on.
.IP \fIbuffer\fP li
Specifies the location of the buffer.
.IP \fIpixmap_return\fP li
Returns the pixmap which is created if the color None.
.IP \fIshapemask_return\fP li
Returns the shape mask pixmap which is created if the color None is used.
.IP \fIattributes\fP li
Specifies the location of a structure to get and store information.
.IP \fIimage\fP li
Specifies the XpmImage.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.SS XpmCreatePixmapFromData
.PP
To create a Pixmap from an XPM data, use
.BR XpmCreatePixmapFromData ().
The
.BR XpmCreatePixmapFromData ()
function creates X images using
.BR XpmCreateImageFromData (__libmansuffix__)
and thus returns the same errors.
In addition on success it then creates the related pixmaps, using
.BR XPutImage (__libmansuffix__),
which are returned to
.I pixmap_return
and
.I shapemask_return
if not NULL, and finally destroys the created images using
.BR XDestroyImage (__libmansuffix__).
Do not forget to free the returned pixmaps, the colors, and possibly the data
returned into the XpmAttributes structure when done.

.SS XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer
.PP
To create a Pixmap from an XPM buffer, use
.BR XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer ().
The
.BR XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer ()
function works the same way as
.BR XpmReadFileToPixmap (__libmansuffix__),
it just calls
.BR XpmCreateImageFromBuffer (__libmansuffix__)
instead of
.BR XpmReadFileToImage (__libmansuffix__).

.SS XpmCreatePixmapFromXpmImage
.PP
.BR XpmCreatePixmapFromXpmImage ()
creates X images calling
.BR XpmCreateImageFromXpmImage (__libmansuffix__)
with the given XpmImage and XpmAttributes, then it creates the related pixmaps
which are returned to
.I pixmap_return
and
.I shapemask_return
using
.BR XPutImage (__libmansuffix__).
Finally it destroys the X images with
.BR XDestroyImage (__libmansuffix__).
When finished the caller must free the pixmaps using
.BR XFreePixmap (__libmansuffix__),
the colors using
.BR XFreeColors (__libmansuffix__)
or the application equivalent function when the standard Xlib functions are not
used, and possibly the data returned into the XpmAttributes using
.BR XpmFreeAttributes (__libmansuffix__).
