xcb_create_glyph_cursor(3) XCB Requests xcb_create_glyph_cursor(3)
NAME
xcb_create_glyph_cursor - create cursor
SYNOPSIS
#include <xcb/xproto.h>
Request function
xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_create_glyph_cursor(xcb_connection_t *conn,
xcb_cursor_t cid, xcb_font_t source_font, xcb_font_t mask_font,
uint16_t source_char, uint16_t mask_char, uint16_t fore_red,
uint16_t fore_green, uint16_t fore_blue, uint16_t back_red,
uint16_t back_green, uint16_t back_blue);
REQUEST ARGUMENTS
conn The XCB connection to X11.
cid The ID with which you will refer to the cursor, created by
xcb_generate_id.
source_font
In which font to look for the cursor glyph.
mask_font In which font to look for the mask glyph.
source_char
The glyph of source_font to use.
mask_char The glyph of mask_font to use as a mask: Pixels which are set
to 1 define which source pixels are displayed. All pixels
which are set to 0 are not displayed.
fore_red The red value of the foreground color.
fore_green
The green value of the foreground color.
fore_blue The blue value of the foreground color.
back_red The red value of the background color.
back_green
The green value of the background color.
back_blue The blue value of the background color.
DESCRIPTION
Creates a cursor from a font glyph. X provides a set of standard cursor
shapes in a special font named cursor. Applications are encouraged to
use this interface for their cursors because the font can be customized
for the individual display type.
All pixels which are set to 1 in the source will use the foreground
color (as specified by fore_red, fore_green and fore_blue). All pixels
set to 0 will use the background color (as specified by back_red,
back_green and back_blue).
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_create_glyph_cursor_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
ERRORS
xcb_alloc_error_t
The X server could not allocate the requested resources (no
memory?).
xcb_font_error_t
The specified source_font or mask_font does not exist.
xcb_value_error_t
Either source_char or mask_char are not defined in
source_font or mask_font, respectively.
