F.14 Standard Colormap Functions

XmuAllStandardColormaps creates all of the appropriate standard colormaps for every visual of every screen on a given display. If the property of any standard colormap is already defined, this function will redefine it. This function is intended to be used by window managers or a special client at the start of a session.

XmuVisualStandardColormaps creates all of the appropriate standard colormaps for a given visual on a given screen.

XmuLookupStandardColormap creates a standard colormap if one does not currently exist or replaces the currently existing standard colormap. Given a screen, a visual, and a property, this function will determine the best allocation for the property under the specified visual and whether to create a new colormap or use the default colormap of the screen.

XmuGetColormapAllocation determines the best allocation of reds, greens, and blues in a standard colormap. It is assumed that the visual is appropriate for the colormap property.

XmuStandardColormap creates any one standard colormap, given a visual, a standard colormap atom, and other input, and returns an XStandardColormap structure. XmuCreateColormap creates any one colormap, given an XStandardColormap structure.

All colormaps are created with read-only allocations, with the exception of read-only allocations of colors, which fail to return the expected pixel value, and these are individually defined as read/write allocations. This is done so that all the cells defined in ...
