✨ xcb_render_create_linear_gradient — from the XCB Requests manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the glow-up manual for xcb_render_create_linear_gradient, straight outta the XCB Requests section. it's giving "let's make a gradient and make it linear" 💅

🌈 NAME 🌈

xcb_render_create_linear_gradient -

(yes, that's it. the original is literally just a dash. the NAME section said nothing else, and I'm not about to invent lore. iconic minimalism, honestly 🎀)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <xcb/render.h>

Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t
       xcb_render_create_linear_gradient(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_render_picture_t picture, xcb_render_pointfix_t p1,
       xcb_render_pointfix_t p2, uint32_t num_stops, const
       xcb_render_fixed_t *stops, const xcb_render_color_t *colors);

like. look at that signature. seven whole arguments. she's high maintenance and she's worth it 🫶

🎀 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. your link to the mothership, your group chat with the X server, your whole entire situationship with display 💖
  • picture — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (the docs really said "no thoughts, head empty" on this one 😭)
  • p1 — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • p2 — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • num_stops — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • stops — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • colors — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
ngl bestie, the upstream docs left these as blank as my weekend plans. I'm keeping them exactly as-is because making stuff up is not the vibe. 🚫 no cap.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

...and that's it. the DESCRIPTION section is empty. literally nothing. an absolute void. the silence is deafening 🔥

we move. periodt.

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.

If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_render_create_linear_gradient_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

so like, the cookie is your little receipt 🍪 and if something goes wrong you find out later in the event loop, not right away. if you're the impatient type (same, bestie 🙈) then grab the _checked version and yell at it directly. the full tea is in xcb-requests(3).

💀 ERRORS 💀

This request does never generate any errors.

zero drama. no errors. she's unbothered, moisturized, in her lane, thriving. 👑

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

(the original SEE ALSO section is empty — nothing listed. so there's nothing to link here, and I'm not gonna manifest references out of thin air ✨)

like, if something's wrong, tell the list. they're the ones who actually wrote it, I'm just the messenger with better vibes 💌

okay that's the whole page bestie, thanks for reading my lil manual rant 🫶💖

this was X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0 — slay, mwah, bye 🎀✨
