XtAllocateGC(3Xt)         XT FUNCTIONS          XtAllocateGC(3Xt)

NAME

     XtAllocateGC - obtain a sharable GC with modifiable fields

SYNTAX

     GC XtAllocateGC(Widget w, Cardinal depth, XtGCMask
          value_mask, XGCValues *values, XtGCMask dynamic_mask,
          XtGCMask unused_mask);

ARGUMENTS

     values    Specifies the actual values for this GC.

     value_mask
               Specifies which fields of the values are speci-
               fied.

     w         Specifies the widget.

     depth     Specifies the depth for which the returned GC is
               valid, or 0.

     dynamic_mask
               Specifies the fields of the GC that will be modi-
               fied by the caller.

     unused_mask
               Specifies the fields of the GC that will not be
               needed by the caller.

DESCRIPTION

     The XtAllocateGC function returns a sharable GC that may be
     modified by the client. The screen field of the specified
     widget or of the nearest widget ancestor of the specified
     object and the specified depth argument supply the root and
     drawable depths for which the GC is to be valid. If depth is
     zero the depth is taken from the depth field of the speci-
     fied widget or of the nearest widget ancestor of the speci-
     fied object.

     The value_mask argument specifies the fields of the GC that
     will be initialized with the respective members of the
     values structure. The dynamic_mask argument specifies fields
     that the caller intends to modify during program execution.
     The caller must ensure that the corresponding GC field is
     sdet prior to each use of the GC. The unused_mask argument
     specifies fields of the GC that are of no interest to the
     caller. The caller may make no assumptions about the con-
     tents of any fields specified in unused_mask. The caller may
     assume that at all times all fields not specified in either
     dynamic_mask or unused_mask have their default value if not
     specified in value_mask or the value specified by values. If
     a field is specified in both value_mask and dynamic_mask,
     the effect is as if it were specified only in dynamic_mask

     and then immediately set to the value in values. If a field
     is set in unused_mask and also in either value_mask or
     dynamic_mask, the specification in unused_mask is ignored.

     XtAllocateGC tries to minimize the number of unique GCs
     created by comparing the arguments with those of previous
     calls and returning an existing GC when there are no con-
     flicts. XtAllocateGC may modify and return an existing GC if
     it was allocated with a nonzero unused_mask.
