XSetArcMode(3)

✨ XSetArcMode(3) ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, this is the XLIB FUNCTIONS page for XSetArcMode, XSetSubwindowMode, and XSetGraphicsExposure — the GC convenience routines 🎀

and yes, the NAME entry says XSetGraphicsExposure (singular) while the actual function below is XSetGraphicsExposures (plural). that’s the manual’s exact spelling, we do not edit the lore 💅

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

int XSetArcMode(Display *display, GC gc, int arc_mode);

int XSetSubwindowMode(Display *display, GC gc, int subwindow_mode);

int XSetGraphicsExposures(Display *display, GC gc, Bool
       graphics_exposures);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• arc_mode — the arc mode. you can pass ArcChord or ArcPieSlice ✨
• display — the connection to the X server.
• gc — the GC.
• graphics_exposures — a Boolean value that says whether you want GraphicsExpose and NoExpose events reported when calling XCopyArea and XCopyPlane with this GC 👀
• subwindow_mode — the subwindow mode. you can pass ClipByChildren or IncludeInferiors 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

XSetArcMode sets the arc mode in the specified GC. it can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue errors 🫶

XSetSubwindowMode sets the subwindow mode in the specified GC. it can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue errors too 🌈

XSetGraphicsExposures sets the graphics-exposures flag in the specified GC. and yeah, it can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue errors as well 💀

🔥 DIAGNOSTICS 🔥

• BadAlloc — the server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory 😭
• BadGC — a value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext 💀
• BadValue — some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request. unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined by the argument’s type is accepted. any argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error 🙈
