<para>
This document does not attempt to provide the rationale or pragmatics required
to fully understand the protocol or to place it in perspective within a
complete system.
</para>

<para>
The protocol contains many management mechanisms that are not intended for
normal applications.
Not all mechanisms are needed to build a particular user interface.
It is important to keep in mind that the protocol is intended to
provide mechanism, not policy.

  <section id="request_format">
    <title>Request Format</title>
    <indexterm zone="request_format" significance="preferred"><primary>Request</primary><secondary>format</secondary></indexterm>
    <para>
Every request contains an 8-bit <firstterm id="major_opcode">major opcode</firstterm>
<indexterm zone="major_opcode" significance="preferred"><primary>Opcode</primary><secondary>major</secondary></indexterm>
and a 16-bit <firstterm id="request_length">length field</firstterm>
<indexterm zone="request_length" significance="preferred"><primary>Request</primary><secondary>length</secondary></indexterm>
expressed in units of four bytes.
Every request consists of four bytes of a header
(containing the major opcode, the length field, and a data byte)
followed by zero or more additional bytes of data.
The length field defines the total length of the request, including the header.
The length field in a request must equal the minimum length required to contain
the request.
If the specified length is smaller or larger than the required length,
an error is generated.
Unused bytes in a request are not required to be zero.
Major opcodes 128 through 255 are reserved for 
<firstterm id="extension">extensions</firstterm>.
<indexterm zone="extension"><primary>Extension</primary></indexterm>
Extensions are intended to contain multiple requests,
so extension requests typically have an additional 
<firstterm id="minor_opcode">minor opcode</firstterm> encoded
in the second data byte in the request header.
<indexterm zone="minor_opcode" significance="preferred"><primary>Opcode</primary><secondary>minor</secondary></indexterm>
However, the placement and interpretation of this minor opcode and of all
other fields in extension requests are not defined by the core protocol.
Every request on a given connection is implicitly assigned a
<firstterm id="sequence_number">sequence number</firstterm>,
<indexterm zone="sequence_number" significance="preferred"><primary>Sequence number</primary></indexterm>
starting with one, that is used in replies, errors, and events.

    <indexterm zone="reply_format" significance="preferred"><primary>Reply</primary><secondary>format</secondary></indexterm>
    <para>
Every <firstterm>reply</firstterm> contains a 32-bit length field
expressed in units of four bytes.
Every reply consists of 32 bytes followed by zero or more additional bytes of
data, as specified in the length field.
Unused bytes within a reply are not guaranteed to be zero.
Every reply also contains the least significant 16 bits of the sequence number
of the corresponding request.

    <indexterm zone="error_format" significance="preferred"><primary>Error report</primary><secondary>format</secondary></indexterm>

<indexterm zone="errors:extensions" significance="preferred"><primary>Error Codes</primary><secondary>extensions</secondary></indexterm>
<indexterm zone="errors:extensions" significance="preferred"><primary>Extension</primary><secondary>error codes</secondary></indexterm>
Every error also includes the major and minor opcodes of the failed request
and the least significant 16 bits of the sequence number of the request.
For the following errors (see <link linkend='Errors'>section 4</link>),
the failing resource ID is also returned:

and
<emphasis role='bold'>Window</emphasis>.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>Atom</emphasis>
errors, the failing atom is returned.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
errors, the failing value is returned.
Other core errors return no additional data.
Unused bytes within an error are not guaranteed to be zero.

Unused bytes within an event are not guaranteed to be zero.
Every event contains an 8-bit type code.

A type name of the form LISTofFOO means a counted list of elements of type
FOO.
The size of the length field may vary (it is not necessarily the same
size as a FOO), and in some cases, it may be implicit.
It is fully specified in Appendix B.
Except where explicitly noted,
zero-length lists are legal.

      <entry>
<para>
The types BITMASK and LISTofVALUE are somewhat special.
Various requests contain arguments of the form:
</para>
<para>
<emphasis remap='I'>value-mask</emphasis>: BITMASK
</para>
<para>
<emphasis remap='I'>value-list</emphasis>: LISTofVALUE
</para>
<para>
These are used to allow the client to specify a subset of a heterogeneous
collection of optional arguments.
The value-mask specifies which arguments are to be provided;
each such argument is assigned a unique bit position.
The representation of the BITMASK will typically contain more bits than
there are defined arguments.
The unused bits in the value-mask must be zero (or the server generates a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error).
The value-list contains one value for each bit set to 1 in the mask,
from least significant to most significant bit in the mask.
Each value is represented with four bytes,
but the actual value occupies only the least significant bytes as required.
The values of the unused bytes do not matter.

<para>
The primary interpretation of large characters in a STRING16 is that they
are composed of two bytes used to index a two-dimensional matrix,
hence, the use of CHAR2B rather than CARD16.
This corresponds to the JIS/ISO method of indexing 2-byte characters.
It is expected that most large fonts will be defined with 2-byte
matrix indexing.
For large fonts constructed with linear indexing,
a CHAR2B can be interpreted as a 16-bit number by treating byte1 as
the most significant byte.
This means that clients should always transmit such
16-bit character values most significant byte first, as the server will never
byte-swap CHAR2B quantities.

To avoid conflicts with possible future names for which semantics might be
imposed (either at the protocol level or in terms of higher level user
interface models),
names beginning with an underscore should be used for atoms
that are private to a particular vendor or organization.
To guarantee no conflicts between vendors and organizations,
additional prefixes need to be used.
However, the protocol does not define the mechanism for choosing such prefixes.
For names private to a single application or end user but stored in globally
accessible locations,
it is suggested that two leading underscores be used to avoid conflicts with
other names.

    <title>Server Information</title>

    <para>
The information that is global to the server is:
    </para>

    <para>
The protocol version numbers are an escape hatch in case future revisions of
the protocol are necessary.
In general,
the major version would increment for incompatible changes,
and the minor version would increment for small upward compatible changes.
Barring changes,
the major version will be 11, and the minor version will be 0.
The protocol version numbers returned indicate the protocol the server
actually supports.
This might not equal the version sent by the client.
The server can (but need not) refuse connections from clients that offer a
different version than the server supports.
A server can (but need not) support more than one version simultaneously.
    </para>
    <para>
The vendor string gives some identification of the owner of the server
implementation.
The vendor controls the semantics of the release number.
    </para>
    <para id="resource-id-mask">
The resource-id-mask contains a single contiguous set of bits (at least 18).
The client allocates resource IDs for types WINDOW, PIXMAP,
CURSOR, FONT, GCONTEXT, and COLORMAP by choosing a value with only
some subset of these bits set and ORing it with resource-id-base.
<indexterm zone="resource-id-mask"><primary>Resource</primary><secondary>ID</secondary></indexterm>
Only values constructed in this way can be used to name newly created
resources over this connection.
Resource IDs never have the top three bits set.
The client is not restricted to linear or contiguous allocation
of resource IDs.
Once an ID has been freed,
it can be reused.
An ID must be unique with respect to the IDs of all other resources,
not just other resources of the same type.
However, note that the value spaces of resource identifiers,
atoms, visualids, and keysyms are distinguished by context, and
as such, are not required to be disjoint; for example, a given numeric value
might be both a valid window ID, a valid atom, and a valid keysym.
    </para>
    <para>
Although the server is in general responsible for byte-swapping data to
match the client,
images are always transmitted and received in formats (including byte order)
specified by the server.
The byte order for images is given by image-byte-order and applies to each
scanline unit in XY format (bitmap format) and to each pixel value in Z format.
    </para>
    <para id="bitmap-format">
A bitmap is represented in <glossterm linkend="glossary:Scanline_order">scanline order</glossterm>.
<indexterm zone="bitmap-format"><primary>Bitmap</primary><secondary>format</secondary></indexterm>
Each <glossterm linkend="glossary:Scanline">scanline</glossterm>
is padded to a multiple of bits as given by bitmap-scanline-pad.
The pad bits are of arbitrary value.
The scanline is quantized in multiples of bits as given by bitmap-scanline-unit.
The bitmap-scanline-unit is always less than or equal to the
bitmap-scanline-pad.
Within each unit,
the leftmost bit in the bitmap is either the least significant
or most significant bit in the unit, as given by bitmap-bit-order.
<indexterm zone="bitmap-format"><primary>XYFormat</primary></indexterm>
If a pixmap is represented in XY format,
each plane is represented as a bitmap, and the planes appear from
most significant to least significant in bit order with no padding
between planes.
    </para>
    <para id="pixmap-formats">
Pixmap-formats contains one entry for each
<glossterm linkend="glossary:Depth">depth</glossterm> value.
<indexterm zone="pixmap-formats"><primary>Pixmap</primary><secondary>format</secondary></indexterm>
<indexterm zone="pixmap-formats"><primary>ZFormat</primary></indexterm>
The entry describes the <glossterm linkend="glossary:ZFormat">Z format</glossterm>
used to represent images of that depth.
An entry for a depth is included if any screen supports that depth,
and all screens supporting that depth must support only that Z format for that
depth.
In Z format,
the pixels are in scanline order, left to right within a scanline.
The number of bits used to hold each pixel is given by bits-per-pixel.
Bits-per-pixel may be larger than strictly required by the depth,
in which case the least significant bits are used to hold
the pixmap data, and the values of the unused high-order bits are
undefined.
When the bits-per-pixel is 4,
the order of nibbles in the byte is the same as the image byte-order.
When the bits-per-pixel is 1,
the format is identical for bitmap format.
Each scanline is padded to a multiple of bits as given by scanline-pad.
When bits-per-pixel is 1,
this will be identical to bitmap-scanline-pad.
    </para>
    <para>
How a pointing device roams the screens is up to the server
implementation and is transparent to the protocol.
No geometry is defined among screens.
    </para>
    <para>
The server may retain the recent history of pointer motion and do so to a
finer granularity than is reported by
<link linkend="events:MotionNotify"><emphasis role='bold'>MotionNotify</emphasis></link>
events.
The
<link linkend="requests:GetMotionEvents"><emphasis role='bold'>GetMotionEvents</emphasis></link>
request makes such history available.
The motion-buffer-size gives the approximate maximum number
of elements in the history buffer.
    </para>
    <para id="Maximum-request-length">
Maximum-request-length specifies the maximum length of a request
accepted by the server, in 4-byte units.
<indexterm zone="Maximum-request-length"><primary>Request</primary><secondary>length</secondary></indexterm>
That is, length is the maximum value that can appear in the length field of a
request.
Requests larger than this maximum generate a
<emphasis role='bold'>Length</emphasis>
error,
and the server will read and simply discard the entire request.
Maximum-request-length will always be at least 4096
(that is, requests of length up to and including 16384 bytes
will be accepted by all servers).
    </para>
    <para id="keycode_range">
<indexterm zone="keycode_range"><primary>Types</primary><secondary>KEYCODE</secondary></indexterm>
<indexterm zone="keycode_range"><primary>Keycode</primary></indexterm>
Min-keycode and max-keycode specify the smallest and largest keycode
values transmitted by the server.
Min-keycode is never less than 8,
and max-keycode is never greater than 255.
Not all keycodes in this range are required to have corresponding keys.

    <para>
The information that applies per screen is:
    </para>

    <para>
The allowed-depths specifies what pixmap and window depths are supported.
Pixmaps are supported for each depth listed,
and windows of that depth are supported if at least one visual type is listed
for the depth.
A pixmap depth of one is always supported and listed,
but windows of depth one might not be supported.
A depth of zero is never listed,
but zero-depth
<emphasis role='bold'>InputOnly</emphasis>
windows are always supported.
    </para>
    <para>
Root-depth and root-visual specify the depth and visual type of the
root window.
Width-in-pixels and height-in-pixels specify the size of
the root window (which cannot be changed).
The class of the root window is always
<emphasis role='bold'>InputOutput</emphasis>.
Width-in-millimeters and height-in-millimeters can be used to determine the
physical size and the aspect ratio.
    </para>
    <para>
The default-colormap is the one initially associated with the root window.
Clients with minimal color requirements creating windows of
the same depth as the root may want to allocate from this map by
default.
    </para>
    <para>
Black-pixel and white-pixel can be used in implementing a monochrome
application.
These pixel values are for permanently allocated entries in the
default-colormap.
The actual RGB values may be settable on some screens
and, in any case, may not actually be black and white.
The names are intended to convey the expected relative intensity of the colors.
    </para>
    <para>
The border of the root window is initially a pixmap filled with the black-pixel.
The initial background of the root window is a pixmap filled with some
unspecified two-color pattern using black-pixel and white-pixel.
    </para>
    <para>
Min-installed-maps specifies the number of maps that can be guaranteed
to be installed simultaneously (with
<link linkend="requests:InstallColormap"><emphasis role='bold'>InstallColormap</emphasis></link>),
regardless of the number of entries allocated in each map.
Max-installed-maps specifies the maximum number of maps that might possibly be
installed simultaneously, depending on their allocations.
Multiple static-visual colormaps with identical contents but differing in
resource ID should be considered as a single map for the purposes of this
number.
For the typical case of a single hardware colormap, both values will be 1.
    </para>
    <para id="Backing-stores">
<indexterm zone="Backing-stores"><primary>Backing store</primary></indexterm>
Backing-stores indicates when the server supports backing stores for
this screen, although it may be storage limited in the number of
windows it can support at once.
If save-unders is
<emphasis role='bold'>True</emphasis>,
the server can support the save-under mode in
<link linkend="requests:CreateWindow"><emphasis role='bold'>CreateWindow</emphasis></link>
and
<link linkend="requests:ChangeWindowAttributes"><emphasis role='bold'>ChangeWindowAttributes</emphasis></link>,
although again it may be storage limited.
    </para>
    <para>
The current-input-events is what
<link linkend="requests:GetWindowAttributes"><emphasis role='bold'>GetWindowAttributes</emphasis></link>

<indexterm zone="colormap_types"><primary>Pixel value</primary></indexterm>
For
<emphasis role='bold'>PseudoColor</emphasis>,
a pixel value indexes a colormap to produce independent RGB values;
the RGB values can be changed dynamically.
<emphasis role='bold'>GrayScale</emphasis>
is treated in the same way as
<emphasis role='bold'>PseudoColor</emphasis>
except which primary drives the screen is undefined;
thus, the client should always store the
same value for red, green, and blue in colormaps.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>DirectColor</emphasis>,
a pixel value is decomposed into separate RGB subfields,
and each subfield separately indexes the colormap for the corresponding value.
The RGB values can be changed dynamically.
<emphasis role='bold'>TrueColor</emphasis>
is treated in the same way as
<emphasis role='bold'>DirectColor</emphasis>
except the colormap has predefined read-only RGB values.
These values are server-dependent but provide linear or near-linear
increasing ramps in each primary.
<emphasis role='bold'>StaticColor</emphasis>
is treated in the same way as
<emphasis role='bold'>PseudoColor</emphasis>
except the colormap has predefined read-only RGB values,
which are server-dependent.
<emphasis role='bold'>StaticGray</emphasis>
is treated in the same way as
<emphasis role='bold'>StaticColor</emphasis>
except the red, green, and blue values are equal for any
single pixel value, resulting in shades of gray.
<emphasis role='bold'>StaticGray</emphasis>
with a two-entry colormap can be thought of as monochrome.
    </para>

    <para>
The red-mask, green-mask, and blue-mask are only defined for
<emphasis role='bold'>DirectColor</emphasis>
and
<emphasis role='bold'>TrueColor</emphasis>.
Each has one contiguous set of bits set to 1 with no intersections.
Usually each mask has the same number of bits set to 1.
    </para>

    <para>
The bits-per-rgb-value specifies the log base 2 of the number of
distinct color intensity values (individually) of red, green, and blue.
This number need not bear any relation to the number of colormap entries.
Actual RGB values are always passed in the protocol within a
16-bit spectrum, with 0 being minimum intensity and 65535 being the
maximum intensity.
On hardware that provides a linear zero-based intensity ramp,
the following relationship exists:
    </para>

    <para>
<literallayout class="monospaced">
       hw-intensity = protocol-intensity / (65536 / total-hw-intensities)
</literallayout>
    </para>

    <para>
Colormap entries are indexed from 0.
The colormap-entries defines the number of available colormap entries in a
newly created colormap.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>DirectColor</emphasis>
and
<emphasis role='bold'>TrueColor</emphasis>,
this will usually be 2 to the power of the maximum number of bits set to 1 in
red-mask, green-mask, and blue-mask.

A class of

means the class is taken from the parent.
A depth of zero for class
<emphasis role='bold'>InputOutput</emphasis>
or

means the depth is taken from the parent.
A visual of
<emphasis role='bold'>CopyFromParent</emphasis>

the visual type and depth must be a combination supported for the screen

The coordinate system has the X axis horizontal and the Y axis vertical
with the origin [0, 0] at the upper-left corner.
Coordinates are integral,

Each window and pixmap has its own coordinate system.
For a window,
the origin is inside the border at the inside, upper-left corner.
</para>

<para>
It is a

error to specify any other attributes for
<emphasis role='bold'>InputOnly</emphasis>
windows.
</para>
<para id="requests:CreateWindow:background">
<indexterm zone="requests:CreateWindow:background"><primary>Background</primary></indexterm>
If background-pixmap is given,
it overrides the default background-pixmap.
The background pixmap and the window must have the
same root and the same depth (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
Any size pixmap can be used, although some sizes may be faster than others.
If background
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>
is specified, the window has no defined background.
If background
<emphasis role='bold'>ParentRelative</emphasis>
is specified, the parent's background is used,
but the window must have the same depth as the parent (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
If the parent has background
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>,
then the window will also have background
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>.
A copy of the parent's background is not made.
The parent's background is reexamined each time the window background is
required.
If background-pixel is given, it overrides the default
background-pixmap and any background-pixmap given explicitly,
and a pixmap of undefined size filled with background-pixel is used for the
background.
Range checking is not performed on the background-pixel value;
it is simply truncated to the appropriate number of bits.
For a
<emphasis role='bold'>ParentRelative</emphasis>
background,
the background tile origin always aligns with the parent's background tile
origin.
Otherwise, the background tile origin is always the window origin.
</para>
<para>
When no valid contents are available for regions of a window
and the regions are either visible or the server is maintaining backing store,
the server automatically tiles the regions with the window's background
unless the window has a background of
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>.
If the background is
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>,
the previous screen contents from other windows of the same depth as the window
are simply left in place if the contents come from the parent of the window
or an inferior of the parent;
otherwise, the initial contents of the exposed regions are undefined.
Exposure events are then generated for the regions, even if the background is
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
The border tile origin is always the same as the background tile origin.
If border-pixmap is given,
it overrides the default border-pixmap.
The border pixmap and the window must have the same root
and the same depth (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
Any size pixmap can be used,
although some sizes may be faster than others.
If
<emphasis role='bold'>CopyFromParent</emphasis>
is given, the parent's border pixmap is copied (subsequent changes to
the parent's border attribute do not affect the child),
but the window must have the same depth as the parent (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
The pixmap might be copied by sharing the same pixmap object between the
child and parent or by making a complete copy of the pixmap contents.
If border-pixel is given,
it overrides the default border-pixmap and any border-pixmap given explicitly,
and a pixmap of undefined size filled with border-pixel is used for the border.
Range checking is not performed on the border-pixel value;
it is simply truncated to the appropriate number of bits.
</para>
<para>
Output to a window is always clipped to the inside of the window,
so that the border is never affected.
</para>
<para>
The bit-gravity defines which region of the window should be retained
if the window is resized, and win-gravity defines how the window should
be repositioned if the parent is resized (see
<link linkend="requests:ConfigureWindow"><emphasis role='bold'>ConfigureWindow</emphasis></link>
request).
</para>
<para>
A backing-store of
<emphasis role='bold'>WhenMapped</emphasis>
advises the server that maintaining contents of obscured regions
when the window is mapped would be beneficial.
A backing-store of
<emphasis role='bold'>Always</emphasis>
advises the server that maintaining contents even when the window is
unmapped would be beneficial.
In this case,
the server may generate an exposure event when the window is created.
A value of
<emphasis role='bold'>NotUseful</emphasis>
advises the server that maintaining contents is unnecessary,
although a server may still choose to maintain contents while the window
is mapped.
Note that if the server maintains contents,
then the server should maintain complete contents
not just the region within the parent boundaries,
even if the window is larger than its parent.
While the server maintains contents,
exposure events will not normally be generated,
but the server may stop maintaining contents at any time.
</para>
<para>
If save-under is
<emphasis role='bold'>True</emphasis>,
the server is advised that when this window is
mapped, saving the contents of windows it obscures would be beneficial.
</para>
<para>
When the contents of obscured regions of a window are being maintained,
regions obscured by noninferior windows are included in the
destination (and source, when the window is the source) of graphics
requests, but regions obscured by inferior windows are not included.
</para>
<para>
The backing-planes indicates (with bits set to 1) which bit planes
of the window hold dynamic data that must be preserved in backing-stores
and during save-unders.
The backing-pixel specifies what value to use in planes not
covered by backing-planes.
The server is free to save only the specified bit planes in the backing-store
or save-under and regenerate the remaining planes with the specified pixel
value.
Any bits beyond the specified depth of the window in these
values are simply ignored.
</para>
<para id="requests:CreateWindow:event-mask">
<indexterm zone="requests:CreateWindow:event-mask"><primary>Event</primary><secondary>mask</secondary></indexterm>
<indexterm zone="requests:CreateWindow:event-mask"><primary>Event</primary><secondary>propagation</secondary></indexterm>
The event-mask defines which events the client is interested in for
this window (or for some event types, inferiors of the window).
The do-not-propagate-mask defines which events should not be propagated to
ancestor windows when no client has the event type selected in this
window.
</para>
<para>
The override-redirect specifies whether map and configure requests on this
window should override a
<emphasis role='bold'>SubstructureRedirect</emphasis>
on the parent, typically to inform a window manager not to tamper with
the window.
</para>
<para>
The colormap specifies the colormap that best reflects the true
colors of the window.
Servers capable of supporting multiple hardware colormaps may use this
information, and window managers may use it for
<link linkend="requests:InstallColormap"><emphasis role='bold'>InstallColormap</emphasis></link>
requests.
The colormap must have the same visual type and root as the window (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
If
<emphasis role='bold'>CopyFromParent</emphasis>
is specified,
the parent's colormap is copied (subsequent changes to the parent's
colormap attribute do not affect the child).
However, the window must have the same visual type as the parent (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results), and the parent must not have a colormap of
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>
(or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
For an explanation of
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>,
see <link linkend="requests:FreeColormap"><emphasis role='bold'>FreeColormap</emphasis></link>
request.
The colormap is copied by sharing the colormap object between the child
and the parent,
not by making a complete copy of the colormap contents.
</para>
<para>
If a cursor is specified,
it will be used whenever the pointer is in the window.
If
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>
is specified,
the parent's cursor will be used when the pointer is in the window,
and any change in the parent's cursor will cause an immediate change
in the displayed cursor.
</para>
<para>
This request generates a
<link linkend="events:CreateNotify"><emphasis role='bold'>CreateNotify</emphasis></link>
event.
</para>
<para>
The background and border pixmaps and the cursor may be freed
immediately if no further explicit references to them are to be made.
</para>
<para>
Subsequent drawing into the background or border pixmap has an
undefined effect on the window state.
The server might or might not make a copy of the pixmap.

Changing the background does not cause the window contents to be changed.
Setting the border or changing the background such that the

Changing the background of a root window to

<para>
Multiple clients can select input on the same window;
their event-masks are disjoint.
When an event is generated,
it will be reported to all interested clients.
However, only one client at a time can select for
<emphasis role='bold'>SubstructureRedirect</emphasis>,
only one client at a time can select for
<emphasis role='bold'>ResizeRedirect</emphasis>,
and only one client at a time can select for
<link linkend="events:ButtonPress"><emphasis role='bold'>ButtonPress</emphasis></link>.
An attempt to violate these restrictions results in an
<emphasis role='bold'>Access</emphasis>
error.
</para>
<para>
There is only one do-not-propagate-mask for a window, not one per
client.
</para>
<para>
Changing the colormap of a window (by defining a new map, not by
changing the contents of the existing map) generates a
<link linkend="events:ColormapNotify"><emphasis role='bold'>ColormapNotify</emphasis></link>
event.
Changing the colormap of a visible window might have no immediate effect
on the screen (see
<link linkend="requests:InstallColormap"><emphasis role='bold'>InstallColormap</emphasis></link>
request).
</para>
<para>
Changing the cursor of a root window to
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>

The order in which attributes are verified and altered is server-dependent.
If an error is generated,
a subset of the attributes may have been altered.

If the window is mapped,
an
<link linkend="requests:UnmapWindow"><emphasis role='bold'>UnmapWindow</emphasis></link>
request is performed automatically first.
The window is then removed from its current position in the hierarchy
and is inserted as a child of the specified parent.
The x and y coordinates are relative to the parent's origin
and specify the new position of the upper-left outer corner of the
window.
The window is placed on top in the stacking order with respect
to siblings.
A
<link linkend="events:ReparentNotify"><emphasis role='bold'>ReparentNotify</emphasis></link>
event is then generated.
The override-redirect attribute of the window is passed on in this event;
a value of
<emphasis role='bold'>True</emphasis>
indicates that a window manager should not tamper with this window.
Finally, if the window was originally mapped, a
<link linkend="requests:MapWindow"><emphasis role='bold'>MapWindow</emphasis></link>
request is performed automatically.

Normal exposure processing on formerly obscured windows is performed.

<para>
The x and y coordinates are relative to the parent's origin
and specify the position of the upper-left outer corner of the window.
The width and height specify the inside size, not including the border, and
must be nonzero (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error results).
Those values not specified are taken from the existing geometry of the window.
Note that changing just the border-width leaves the outer-left corner
of the window in a fixed position but moves the absolute position of the
window's origin.
It is a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error to attempt to make the border-width of an

window nonzero.

The geometry of the window is changed as specified,
the window is restacked among siblings, and a

If the inside width or height of the window has actually changed,
then children of the window are affected,
according to their win-gravity.
Exposure processing is performed on formerly obscured windows
(including the window itself and its inferiors if regions of them were
obscured but now are not).
Exposure processing is also performed on any new regions of the window
(as a result of increasing the width or height)
and on any regions where window contents are lost.
</para>
<para>
If the inside width or height of a window is not changed
but the window is moved or its border is changed,
then the contents of the window are not lost but move with the window.
Changing the inside width or height of the window causes its contents to be
moved or lost, depending on the bit-gravity of the window.
It also causes children to be reconfigured, depending on their win-gravity.
For a change of width and height of W and H,
we define the [x, y] pairs as:

When a window with one of these bit-gravities is resized,
the corresponding pair defines the change in position of each pixel in the
window.
When a window with one of these win-gravities has its parent window resized,
the corresponding pair defines the change in position
of the window within the parent.
This repositioning generates a
<link linkend="events:GravityNotify"><emphasis role='bold'>GravityNotify</emphasis></link>
event.
<emphasis role='bold'>GravityNotify</emphasis>
events are generated after the
<link linkend="events:ConfigureNotify"><emphasis role='bold'>ConfigureNotify</emphasis></link>

<para>
A gravity of
<emphasis role='bold'>Static</emphasis>
indicates that the contents or origin should not move relative to the origin
of the root window.
If the change in size of the window is coupled with a change
in position of [X, Y],
then for bit-gravity the change in position of each pixel is [-X, -Y] and for
win-gravity the change in position of a child when its parent is so
resized is [-X, -Y].
Note that
<emphasis role='bold'>Static</emphasis>
gravity still only takes effect when the width or height of the
window is changed, not when the window is simply moved.

<para>
A bit-gravity of
<emphasis role='bold'>Forget</emphasis>
indicates that the window contents are always discarded after a size change,
even if backing-store or save-under has been requested.
The window is tiled with its background (except, if no background is defined,
the existing screen contents are not altered)
and zero or more exposure events are generated.

<para>
This request returns the root and current geometry of the drawable.
The depth is the number of bits per pixel for the object.
The x, y, and border-width will always be zero for pixmaps.
For a window,
the x and y coordinates specify the upper-left outer corner of the window
relative to its parent's origin,
and the width and height specify the inside size, not including the border.
</para>
<para>
It is legal to pass an
<emphasis role='bold'>InputOnly</emphasis>
window as a drawable to this request.

<para>
This request alters the property for the specified window.
The type is uninterpreted by the server.
The format specifies whether the data should be viewed as a list of 8-bit,
16-bit, or 32-bit quantities so that the server can correctly byte-swap
as necessary.
</para>
<para>
If the mode is
<emphasis role='bold'>Replace</emphasis>,
the previous property value is discarded.
If the mode is
<emphasis role='bold'>Prepend</emphasis>
or
<emphasis role='bold'>Append</emphasis>,
then the type and format must match the existing property value (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
If the property is undefined,
it is treated as defined with the correct type
and format with zero-length data.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>Prepend</emphasis>,
the data is tacked on to the beginning of the existing data, and for
<emphasis role='bold'>Append</emphasis>,
it is tacked on to the end of the existing data.
</para>
<para>
This request generates a
<link linkend="events:PropertyNotify"><emphasis role='bold'>PropertyNotify</emphasis></link>

</para>
<para>
The lifetime of a property is not tied to the storing client.
Properties remain until explicitly deleted, until the window is destroyed,
or until server reset (see <link linkend='Connection_Close'>section 10</link>).

The maximum size of a property is server-dependent and may vary dynamically.

<para>
If the specified property does not exist for the specified window,
then the return type is
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>,
the format and bytes-after are zero,
and the value is empty.
The delete argument is ignored in this case.
If the specified property exists but its type does not match the specified type,
then the return type is the actual type of the property,
the format is the actual format of the property (never zero),
the bytes-after is the length of the property in bytes
(even if the format is 16 or 32),
and the value is empty.
The delete argument is ignored in this case.
If the specified property exists and either
<emphasis role='bold'>AnyPropertyType</emphasis>
is specified or the specified type matches the actual type of the property,
then the return type is the actual type of the property,
the format is the actual format of the property (never zero),
and the bytes-after and value are as follows, given:
<literallayout class="monospaced">
	N = actual length of the stored property in bytes
	    (even if the format is 16 or 32)
	I = 4 * long-offset
	T = N - I
	L = MINIMUM(T, 4 * long-length)
	A = N - (I + L)
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
The returned value starts at byte index I in the property (indexing from 0),
and its length in bytes is L.
However, it is a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error if long-offset is given such that L is negative.
The value of bytes-after is A,
giving the number of trailing unread bytes in the stored
property.
If delete is
<emphasis role='bold'>True</emphasis>
and the bytes-after is zero,
the property is also deleted from the window,
and a
<link linkend="events:PropertyNotify"><emphasis role='bold'>PropertyNotify</emphasis></link>
event is generated on the window.

If the property names in the list are viewed as being numbered starting
from zero, and there are N property names in the list,
then the value associated with property name I becomes the value
associated with property name (I + delta) mod N, for all I from zero to N - 1.
The effect is to rotate the states by delta places around the virtual ring
of property names (right for positive delta, left for negative delta).
</para>

a

<para>
This request changes the owner, owner window,
and last-change time of the specified selection.
This request has no effect if the specified time is earlier
than the current last-change time of the specified selection or is
later than the current server time.
Otherwise, the last-change time is set to the specified time
with
<emphasis role='bold'>CurrentTime</emphasis>
replaced by the current server time.
If the owner window is specified as
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>,
then the owner of the selection becomes
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>
(that is, no owner).
Otherwise, the owner of the selection becomes the client executing the request.
If the new owner (whether a client or
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>)
is not the same as the current owner
and the current owner is not
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>,
then the current owner is sent a
<link linkend="events:SelectionClear"><emphasis role='bold'>SelectionClear</emphasis></link>
event.
</para>
<para>
If the client that is the owner of a selection is later terminated
(that is, its connection is closed) or if the owner window it has
specified in the request is later destroyed,
then the owner of the selection automatically reverts to
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>,
but the last-change time is not affected.
</para>
<para>
The selection atom is uninterpreted by the server.
The owner window is returned by the
<link linkend="requests:GetSelectionOwner"><emphasis role='bold'>GetSelectionOwner</emphasis></link>
request and is reported in
<link linkend="events:SelectionRequest"><emphasis role='bold'>SelectionRequest</emphasis></link>
and
<link linkend="events:SelectionClear"><emphasis role='bold'>SelectionClear</emphasis></link>

If

destination is replaced with the window that the pointer is in.

is specified and the focus window contains the pointer,
destination is replaced with the window that the pointer is in.
Otherwise, destination is replaced with the focus window.

If propagate is

</para>
<para>
If propagate is

and no clients have selected on destination any
of the event types in event-mask,
then destination is replaced with the
closest ancestor of destination for which some client has selected a
type in event-mask and no intervening window has that type in its
do-not-propagate-mask.
If no such window exists or if the window is an ancestor of the focus window

was originally specified as the destination,
then the event is not sent to any clients.
Otherwise, the event is reported to every client selecting on the final

<para>
The event code must be one of the core events or one of the events
defined by an extension (or a

error results) so that the server can correctly byte-swap the
contents as necessary.
The contents of the event are otherwise unaltered and unchecked
by the server except to force on the most significant bit of the event code
and to set the sequence number in the event correctly.

This request actively grabs control of the pointer.
Further pointer events are only reported to the grabbing client.
The request overrides any active pointer grab by this client.
</para>
<para>
If owner-events is
<emphasis role='bold'>False</emphasis>,
all generated pointer events are reported with respect to grab-window
and are only reported if selected by event-mask.
If owner-events is
<emphasis role='bold'>True</emphasis>
and a generated pointer event would normally be reported to this client,
it is reported normally.
Otherwise, the event is reported with respect to the grab-window and is
only reported if selected by event-mask.
For either value of owner-events,
unreported events are simply discarded.
</para>
<para>
If pointer-mode is
<emphasis role='bold'>Asynchronous</emphasis>,
pointer event processing continues normally.
If the pointer is currently frozen by this client,
then processing of pointer events is resumed.
If pointer-mode is

the state of the pointer (as seen by means of the protocol) appears to freeze,
and no further pointer events are generated by the server until the
grabbing client issues a releasing

request or until the pointer grab is released.
Actual pointer changes are not lost while the pointer is frozen.
They are simply queued for later processing.

<para>
If keyboard-mode is

keyboard event processing is unaffected by activation of the grab.
If keyboard-mode is

<para>
If a cursor is specified,

If no cursor is specified,
then when the pointer is in grab-window or one of its subwindows,
the normal cursor for that window is displayed.
Otherwise, the cursor for grab-window is displayed.
</para>
<para>
If a confine-to window is specified,
then the pointer will be restricted to stay contained in that window.
The confine-to window need have no relationship to the grab-window.
If the pointer is not initially in the confine-to window,
then it is warped automatically to the closest edge
(and enter/leave events are generated normally) just before the grab activates.
If the confine-to window is subsequently reconfigured,
the pointer will be warped automatically as necessary to
keep it contained in the window.

This request establishes a passive grab.
<indexterm zone="requests:GrabButton"><primary>Passive grab</primary><secondary>pointer</secondary></indexterm>
In the future,
the pointer is actively grabbed as described in
<link linkend="requests:GrabPointer"><emphasis role='bold'>GrabPointer</emphasis></link>,
the last-pointer-grab time is set to the time at which the button was
pressed (as transmitted in the
<link linkend="events:ButtonPress"><emphasis role='bold'>ButtonPress</emphasis></link>
event), and the
<emphasis role='bold'>ButtonPress</emphasis>
event is reported if all of the following conditions are true:
<!-- .IP bu 5 -->
The pointer is not grabbed and the specified button is logically pressed
when the specified modifier keys are logically down,
and no other buttons or modifier keys are logically down.
<!-- .IP bu 5 -->
The grab-window contains the pointer.
<!-- .IP bu 5 -->
The confine-to window (if any) is viewable.
<!-- .IP bu 5 -->
A passive grab on the same button/key combination does not exist
on any ancestor of grab-window.
</para>
<para>
The interpretation of the remaining arguments is the same as for
<link linkend="requests:GrabPointer"><emphasis role='bold'>GrabPointer</emphasis></link>.
The active grab is terminated automatically when
the logical state of the pointer has all buttons released,
independent of the logical state of modifier keys.
Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by means of the protocol)
may lag the physical state if device event processing is frozen.
</para>
<para>
This request overrides all previous passive grabs by the same client on
the same button/key combinations on the same window.
A modifier of
<emphasis role='bold'>AnyModifier</emphasis>
is equivalent to issuing the request for all possible modifier combinations
(including the combination of no modifiers).
It is not required that all specified modifiers have currently assigned
keycodes.
A button of
<emphasis role='bold'>AnyButton</emphasis>
is equivalent to issuing the request for all possible buttons.
Otherwise, it is not required that the button specified currently be assigned
to a physical button.
</para>
<para>
An
<emphasis role='bold'>Access</emphasis>
error is generated if some other client has already issued a
<emphasis role='bold'>GrabButton</emphasis>
request with the same button/key combination on the same window.
When using
<emphasis role='bold'>AnyModifier</emphasis>
or
<emphasis role='bold'>AnyButton</emphasis>,
the request fails completely (no grabs are established), and an
<emphasis role='bold'>Access</emphasis>
error is generated if there is a conflicting grab for any combination.
The request has no effect on an active grab.

<para>
This request establishes a passive grab on the keyboard.
<indexterm zone="requests:GrabKey"><primary>Passive grab</primary><secondary>keyboard</secondary></indexterm>
In the future,
the keyboard is actively grabbed as described in
<link linkend="requests:GrabKeyboard"><emphasis role='bold'>GrabKeyboard</emphasis></link>,
the last-keyboard-grab time is set to the time at which the key was pressed
(as transmitted in the
<link linkend="events:KeyPress"><emphasis role='bold'>KeyPress</emphasis></link>
event), and the
<emphasis role='bold'>KeyPress</emphasis>
event is reported if all of the following conditions are true:
<!-- .IP bu 5 -->
The keyboard is not grabbed and the specified key
(which can itself be a modifier key) is logically pressed
when the specified modifier keys are logically down,
and no other modifier keys are logically down.
<!-- .IP bu 5 -->
Either the grab-window is an ancestor of (or is) the focus window,
or the grab-window is a descendent of the focus window and contains the pointer.
<!-- .IP bu 5 -->
A passive grab on the same key combination does not exist
on any ancestor of grab-window.
</para>
<para>
The interpretation of the remaining arguments is the same as for
<link linkend="requests:GrabKeyboard"><emphasis role='bold'>GrabKeyboard</emphasis></link>.
The active grab is terminated automatically when the logical state
of the keyboard has the specified key released,
independent of the logical state of modifier keys.
Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by means of the protocol)
may lag the physical state if device event processing is frozen.
</para>
<para>
This request overrides all previous passive grabs by the same client
on the same key combinations on the same window.
A modifier of
<emphasis role='bold'>AnyModifier</emphasis>
is equivalent to issuing the request for all possible modifier combinations
(including the combination of no modifiers).
It is not required that all modifiers specified have
currently assigned keycodes.
A key of
<emphasis role='bold'>AnyKey</emphasis>
is equivalent to issuing the request for all possible keycodes.
Otherwise, the key must be in the range specified by min-keycode
and max-keycode in the connection setup (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error results).
</para>
<para>
An
<emphasis role='bold'>Access</emphasis>
error is generated if some other client has issued a
<emphasis role='bold'>GrabKey</emphasis>
with the same key combination on the same window.
When using
<emphasis role='bold'>AnyModifier</emphasis>
or
<emphasis role='bold'>AnyKey</emphasis>,
the request fails completely (no grabs are established),
and an
<emphasis role='bold'>Access</emphasis>
error is generated if there is a conflicting grab for any combination.

<para>
It is possible for both a pointer grab and a keyboard grab to be active
simultaneously (by the same or different clients).
When a device is frozen on behalf of either grab,
no event processing is performed for the device.
It is possible for a single device to be frozen because of both grabs.
In this case, the freeze must be released on behalf of both grabs
before events can again be processed.
If a device is frozen twice by a single client, then a single
<emphasis role='bold'>AllowEvents</emphasis>
releases both.

<para>
This request changes the input focus and the last-focus-change time.
The request has no effect if the specified time is earlier than the current
last-focus-change time or is later than the current server time.
Otherwise, the last-focus-change time is set to the specified time
with
<emphasis role='bold'>CurrentTime</emphasis>
replaced by the current server time.
</para>
<para>
If
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>
is specified as the focus,
all keyboard events are discarded until a new focus window is set.
In this case, the revert-to argument is ignored.
</para>
<para>
If a window is specified as the focus,
it becomes the keyboard's focus window.
If a generated keyboard event would normally be reported to
this window or one of its inferiors, the event is reported normally.
Otherwise, the event is reported with respect to the focus window.
</para>
<para>
If
<emphasis role='bold'>PointerRoot</emphasis>
is specified as the focus,
the focus window is dynamically taken to be the root window of whatever screen
the pointer is on at each keyboard event.
In this case,
the revert-to argument is ignored.
</para>
<para>
This request generates
<link linkend="events:FocusIn"><emphasis role='bold'>FocusIn</emphasis></link>
and
<link linkend="events:FocusOut"><emphasis role='bold'>FocusOut</emphasis></link>
events.
</para>
<para>
The specified focus window must be viewable at the time of the request (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
If the focus window later becomes not viewable,
the new focus window depends on the revert-to argument.
If revert-to is
<emphasis role='bold'>Parent</emphasis>,
the focus reverts to the parent (or the closest viewable ancestor)
and the new revert-to value is taken to be
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>.
If revert-to is
<emphasis role='bold'>PointerRoot</emphasis>
or
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>,
the focus reverts to that value.
When the focus reverts,
<link linkend="events:FocusIn"><emphasis role='bold'>FocusIn</emphasis></link>
and
<link linkend="events:FocusOut"><emphasis role='bold'>FocusOut</emphasis></link>
events are generated,
but the last-focus-change time is not affected.

This request returns a bit vector for the logical state of the keyboard.
Each bit set to 1 indicates that the corresponding key is currently pressed.
The vector is represented as 32 bytes.
Byte N (from 0) contains the bits for keys 8N to 8N + 7
with the least significant bit in the byte representing key 8N.
Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by means of the protocol)
may lag the physical state if device event processing is frozen.

This request loads the specified font, if necessary,
and associates identifier fid with it.
The font name should use the ISO Latin-1 encoding,
and uppercase and lowercase do not matter.
When the characters <quote>?</quote> and <quote>*</quote> are used in a font name, a
pattern match is performed and any matching font is used.
In the pattern,
the <quote>?</quote> character (octal value 77) will match any single character,
and the <quote>*</quote> character (octal value 52) will match any number
of characters.
A structured format for font names is specified in the
X.Org standard <citetitle>X Logical Font Description Conventions</citetitle>.

<para>
This request returns logical information about a font.
If a gcontext is given for font,
the currently contained font is used.
</para>
<para>
The draw-direction is just a hint
and indicates whether most char-infos have a positive,
<emphasis role='bold'>LeftToRight</emphasis>,
or a negative,
<emphasis role='bold'>RightToLeft</emphasis>,
character-width metric.
The core protocol defines no support for vertical text.
</para>
<para>
If min-byte1 and max-byte1 are both zero,
then min-char-or-byte2 specifies the linear character index corresponding
to the first element of char-infos,
and max-char-or-byte2 specifies the linear character index of the last element.
If either min-byte1 or max-byte1 are nonzero,
then both min-char-or-byte2 and max-char-or-byte2 will be less than 256,
and the 2-byte character index values corresponding to char-infos element N
(counting from 0) are:
<literallayout class="monospaced">
	byte1 = N/D + min-byte1
	byte2 = N\\D + min-char-or-byte2
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
where:
<literallayout class="monospaced">
	D = max-char-or-byte2 - min-char-or-byte2 + 1
	/ = integer division
	\\ = integer modulus
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
If char-infos has length zero,
then min-bounds and max-bounds will be identical,
and the effective char-infos is one filled with this char-info, of length:
<literallayout class="monospaced">
	L = D * (max-byte1 - min-byte1 + 1)
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
That is,
all glyphs in the specified linear or matrix range have the same information,
as given by min-bounds (and max-bounds).
If all-chars-exist is
<emphasis role='bold'>True</emphasis>,
then all characters in char-infos have nonzero bounding boxes.
</para>
<para>
The default-char specifies the character that will be used when an
undefined or nonexistent character is used.
Note that default-char is a CARD16, not CHAR2B.
For a font using 2-byte matrix format,
the default-char has byte1 in the most significant byte
and byte2 in the least significant byte.
If the default-char itself specifies an undefined or nonexistent character,
then no printing is performed for an undefined or nonexistent character.
</para>
<para>
The min-bounds and max-bounds contain the minimum and maximum values of
each individual CHARINFO component over all char-infos (ignoring
nonexistent characters).
The bounding box of the font (that is, the
smallest rectangle enclosing the shape obtained by superimposing all
characters at the same origin [x,y]) has its upper-left coordinate at:
<literallayout class="monospaced">
	[x + min-bounds.left-side-bearing, y - max-bounds.ascent]
</literallayout>
with a width of:
<literallayout class="monospaced">
	max-bounds.right-side-bearing - min-bounds.left-side-bearing
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
and a height of:
<literallayout class="monospaced">
	max-bounds.ascent + max-bounds.descent
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
The font-ascent is the logical extent of the font above the baseline
and is used for determining line spacing.
Specific characters may extend beyond this.
The font-descent is the logical extent of the font at or below the baseline
and is used for determining line spacing.
Specific characters may extend beyond this.
If the baseline is at Y-coordinate y,
then the logical extent of the font is inclusive
between the Y-coordinate values (y - font-ascent) and (y + font-descent - 1).
</para>
<para>
A font is not guaranteed to have any properties.
The interpretation of the property value (for example, INT32, CARD32)
must be derived from <emphasis remap='I'>a priori</emphasis> knowledge of the property.
A basic set of font properties is specified in the X.Org
standard <citetitle>X Logical Font Description Conventions</citetitle>.
</para>
<para>
For a character origin at [x,y],
the bounding box of a character (that is,
the smallest rectangle enclosing the character's shape), described in
terms of CHARINFO components, is a rectangle with its upper-left corner at:
<literallayout class="monospaced">
	[x + left-side-bearing, y - ascent]
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
with a width of:
<literallayout class="monospaced">
	right-side-bearing - left-side-bearing
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
and a height of:
<literallayout class="monospaced">
	ascent + descent
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
and the origin for the next character is defined to be:
<literallayout class="monospaced">
	[x + character-width, y]
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
Note that the baseline is logically viewed as being just below
nondescending characters (when descent is zero, only pixels with
Y-coordinates less than y are drawn) and that the origin is logically
viewed as being coincident with the left edge of a nonkerned character
(when left-side-bearing is zero, no pixels with X-coordinate less than
x are drawn).
</para>
<para>
Note that CHARINFO metric values can be negative.
</para>
<para>
A nonexistent character is represented with all CHARINFO components
zero.
</para>
<para>
The interpretation of the per-character attributes field is
server-dependent.

<para>
This request returns the logical extents of the specified string of characters
in the specified font.
If a gcontext is given for font,
the currently contained font is used.
The draw-direction, font-ascent, and font-descent are the same as
described in
<link linkend="requests:QueryFont"><emphasis role='bold'>QueryFont</emphasis></link>.
The overall-ascent is the maximum of the ascent metrics of all characters
in the string, and the overall-descent is the maximum of the descent metrics.
The overall-width is the sum of the character-width metrics of all characters
in the string.
For each character in the string,
let W be the sum of the character-width metrics of all characters preceding it
in the string,
let L be the left-side-bearing metric of the character plus W,
and let R be the right-side-bearing metric of the character plus W.
The overall-left is the minimum L of all characters in the string,
and the overall-right is the maximum R.
</para>
<para>
For fonts defined with linear indexing rather than 2-byte matrix indexing,
the server will interpret each CHAR2B as a 16-bit number that
has been transmitted most significant byte first (that is, byte1 of the
CHAR2B is taken as the most significant byte).
</para>
<para>
Characters with all zero metrics are ignored.
If the font has no defined default-char,
then undefined characters in the string are also ignored.

<para>
This request is similar to
<link linkend="requests:ListFonts"><emphasis role='bold'>ListFonts</emphasis></link>,
but it also returns information about each font.
The information returned for each font is identical to what
<link linkend="requests:QueryFont"><emphasis role='bold'>QueryFont</emphasis></link>
would return except that the per-character metrics are not returned.
Note that this request can generate multiple replies.
With each reply,
replies-hint may provide an indication of how many more fonts will be returned.
This number is a hint only and may be larger or smaller than
the number of fonts actually returned.
A zero value does not guarantee that no more fonts will be returned.
After the font replies,
a reply with a zero-length name is sent to indicate the end of the reply
sequence.

In graphics operations,
given a source and destination pixel,
the result is computed bitwise on corresponding bits of the pixels;
that is, a Boolean operation is performed in each bit plane.
The plane-mask restricts the operation to a subset of planes,
so the result is:

<para id="requests:CreateGC:line-width">
<indexterm zone="requests:CreateGC:line-width"><primary>Line</primary><secondary>drawing</secondary></indexterm>
The line-width is measured in pixels and can be greater than or equal to
one, a wide line, or the special value zero, a thin line.
</para>

<para>
Wide lines are drawn centered on the path described by the graphics request.
Unless otherwise specified by the join or cap style,
the bounding box of a wide line with endpoints [x1, y1], [x2, y2] and
width w is a rectangle with vertices at the following real coordinates:
</para>

<literallayout class="monospaced">
	[x1-(w*sn/2), y1+(w*cs/2)], [x1+(w*sn/2), y1-(w*cs/2)],
	[x2-(w*sn/2), y2+(w*cs/2)], [x2+(w*sn/2), y2-(w*cs/2)]
</literallayout>

<para>
The sn is the sine of the angle of the line and cs is the cosine of
the angle of the line.
A pixel is part of the line (and hence drawn) if the center of the pixel
is fully inside the bounding box, which is viewed as having infinitely thin
edges.
If the center of the pixel is exactly on the bounding box,
it is part of the line if and only if the interior is immediately to its right
(x increasing direction).
Pixels with centers on a horizontal edge are a special case and are part of
the line if and only if the interior or the boundary is immediately below
(y increasing direction) and if the interior or the boundary is immediately
to the right (x increasing direction).
Note that this description is a mathematical model describing the pixels
that are drawn for a wide line and does not imply that trigonometry is required
to implement such a model.
Real or fixed point arithmetic is recommended for computing the corners of the
line endpoints for lines greater than one pixel in width.
</para>
<para>
Thin lines (zero line-width) are nominally one pixel wide lines drawn using an
unspecified, device-dependent algorithm.
There are only two constraints on this algorithm.
First, if a line is drawn unclipped from [x1,y1] to [x2,y2]
and another line is drawn unclipped from [x1+dx,y1+dy] to [x2+dx,y2+dy],
then a point [x,y] is touched by drawing the first line if
and only if the point [x+dx,y+dy] is touched by drawing the second line.
Second, the effective set of points comprising a line cannot be affected
by clipping.
Thus, a point is touched in a clipped line if and only if the point lies
inside the clipping region and the point would be touched by the line
when drawn unclipped.
</para>
<para>
Note that a wide line drawn from [x1,y1] to [x2,y2] always draws the
same pixels as a wide line drawn from [x2,y2] to [x1,y1], not counting
cap-style and join-style.
Implementors are encouraged to make this property true for thin lines,
but it is not required.
A line-width of zero may differ from a line-width of one in which pixels
are drawn.
In general,
drawing a thin line will be faster than drawing a wide line of width one,
but thin lines may not mix well aesthetically with wide lines
because of the different drawing algorithms.
If it is desirable to obtain precise and uniform results across all displays,
a client should always use a line-width of one, rather than a line-width of
zero.

The tile/stipple represents an infinite two-dimensional plane
with the tile/stipple
replicated in all dimensions.  When that plane is superimposed on
the drawable for use in a graphics operation, the upper-left corner
of some instance of the tile/stipple is at the coordinates within
the drawable specified by the tile/stipple origin.
The tile/stipple and clip origins are interpreted relative to the
origin of whatever destination drawable is specified in a graphics
request.
</para>
<para>
The tile pixmap must have the same root and depth as the gcontext (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
The stipple pixmap must have depth one and must have the same root
as the gcontext (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
For fill-style
<emphasis role='bold'>Stippled</emphasis>
(but not fill-style
<emphasis role='bold'>OpaqueStippled</emphasis>),
the stipple pattern is tiled in a single plane
and acts as an additional clip mask to be ANDed with the clip-mask.
Any size pixmap can be used for tiling or stippling,
although some sizes may be faster to use than others.

The dashes value allowed here is actually a simplified form of the more
general patterns that can be set with
<link linkend="requests:SetDashes"><emphasis role='bold'>SetDashes</emphasis></link>.
Specifying a value of N here is equivalent to specifying
the two element list [N, N] in
<link linkend="requests:SetDashes"><emphasis role='bold'>SetDashes</emphasis></link>.
The value must be nonzero (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error results).
The meaning of dash-offset and dashes are explained in the

<para id="requests:CreateGC:clip-mask">
<indexterm zone="requests:CreateGC:clip-mask"><primary>Clipping region</primary></indexterm>
The clip-mask restricts writes to the destination drawable.
Only pixels where the clip-mask has bits set to 1 are drawn.
Pixels are not drawn outside the area covered by the clip-mask
or where the clip-mask has bits set to 0.
The clip-mask affects all graphics requests,
but it does not clip sources.
The clip-mask origin is interpreted relative to the origin of whatever
destination drawable is specified in a graphics request.
If a pixmap is specified as the clip-mask,
it must have depth 1 and have the same root as the gcontext (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
If clip-mask is
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>,
then pixels are always drawn, regardless of the clip origin.
The clip-mask can also be set with the
<link linkend="requests:SetClipRectangles"><emphasis role='bold'>SetClipRectangles</emphasis></link>
request.
</para>
<para>
For
<emphasis role='bold'>ClipByChildren</emphasis>,
both source and destination windows are additionally clipped by all viewable
<emphasis role='bold'>InputOutput</emphasis>
children.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>IncludeInferiors</emphasis>,
neither source nor destination window is clipped by inferiors.
This will result in including subwindow contents in the
source and drawing through subwindow boundaries of the destination.
The use of
<emphasis role='bold'>IncludeInferiors</emphasis>
with a source or destination window of one depth with mapped inferiors
of differing depth is not illegal,
but the semantics is undefined by the core protocol.

<indexterm zone="requests:CreateGC:fill-rule" significance="preferred"><primary>Winding rule</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm zone="requests:CreateGC:fill-rule" significance="preferred"><primary>Fill rule</primary></indexterm>
The fill-rule defines what pixels are inside (that is, are drawn) for
paths given in
<link linkend="requests:FillPoly"><emphasis role='bold'>FillPoly</emphasis></link>
requests.
<emphasis role='bold'>EvenOdd</emphasis>
means a point is inside if an infinite ray with the point as origin crosses
the path an odd number of times.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>Winding</emphasis>,
a point is inside if an infinite ray with the point as origin crosses an
unequal number of clockwise and counterclockwise directed path segments.
A clockwise directed path segment is one that crosses the ray from left
to right as observed from the point.
A counter-clockwise segment is one that crosses the ray from right to left
as observed from the point.
The case where a directed line segment is coincident with the ray is
uninteresting because one can simply choose a different ray that is not
coincident with a segment.
</para>
<para>
For both fill rules,
a point is infinitely small and the path is an infinitely thin line.
A pixel is inside if the center point of the pixel is inside
and the center point is not on the boundary.
If the center point is on the boundary,
the pixel is inside if and only if the polygon interior is immediately
to its right (x increasing direction).
Pixels with centers along a horizontal edge are a special case
and are inside if and only if the polygon interior is immediately below
(y increasing direction).

<para>
Storing a pixmap in a gcontext might or might not result in a copy
being made.
If the pixmap is later used as the destination for a graphics request,
the change might or might not be reflected in the gcontext.
If the pixmap is used simultaneously in a graphics request
as both a destination and as a tile or stipple,
the results are not defined.
</para>
<para>
It is quite likely that some amount of gcontext information will be
cached in display hardware and that such hardware can only cache a
small number of gcontexts.
Given the number and complexity of components,
clients should view switching between gcontexts with nearly
identical state as significantly more expensive than making minor
changes to a single gcontext.

<para>
This request sets dash-offset and dashes in gc for dashed line styles.
Dashes cannot be empty (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error results).
Specifying an odd-length list is equivalent to specifying the same list
concatenated with itself to produce an even-length list.
The initial and alternating elements of dashes are the even dashes;
the others are the odd dashes.
Each element specifies a dash length in pixels.
All of the elements must be nonzero (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error results).
The dash-offset defines the phase of the pattern,
specifying how many pixels into dashes the pattern should actually begin in
any single graphics request.
Dashing is continuous through path elements combined with a join-style
but is reset to the dash-offset between each sequence of joined lines.
</para>
<para>
The unit of measure for dashes is the same as in the ordinary
coordinate system.
Ideally, a dash length is measured along the slope of the line,
but implementations are only required to match this ideal
for horizontal and vertical lines.
Failing the ideal semantics,
it is suggested that the length be measured along the major axis of the line.
The major axis is defined as the x axis for lines drawn at an angle of
between -45 and +45 degrees or between 135 and 225 degrees from the x axis.
For all other lines, the major axis is the y axis.
</para>
<para>
For any graphics primitive, the computation of the endpoint of an individual
dash only depends on the geometry of the primitive, the start position
of the dash, the direction of the dash, and the dash length.
</para>
<para>
For any graphics primitive, the total set of pixels used to render the
primitive (both even and odd numbered dash elements) with
<emphasis role='bold'>DoubleDash</emphasis>
line-style is the same as the set of pixels used to render the
primitive with
<emphasis role='bold'>Solid</emphasis>
line-style.
</para>
<para>
For any graphics primitive, if the primitive is drawn with
<emphasis role='bold'>OnOffDash</emphasis>
or
<emphasis role='bold'>DoubleDash</emphasis>
line-style unclipped at position [x,y] and again at position
[x+dx,y+dy], then a point [x1,y1] is included in a dash in the first
instance if and only if the point [x1+dx,y1+dy] is included in the dash in
the second instance.  In addition, the effective set of points comprising a
dash cannot be affected by clipping.  A point is included in a clipped dash
if and only if the point lies inside the clipping region and the point
would be included in the dash when drawn unclipped.

<para>
This request changes clip-mask in gc to the specified list of rectangles
and sets the clip origin.
Output will be clipped to remain contained within the rectangles.
The clip origin is interpreted relative to the origin of
whatever destination drawable is specified in a graphics request.
The rectangle coordinates are interpreted relative to the clip origin.
The rectangles should be nonintersecting, or graphics results will be
undefined.
Note that the list of rectangles can be empty,
which effectively disables output.
This is the opposite of passing
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>
as the clip-mask in
<link linkend="requests:CreateGC"><emphasis role='bold'>CreateGC</emphasis></link>
and
<link linkend="requests:ChangeGC"><emphasis role='bold'>ChangeGC</emphasis></link>.
</para>
<para>
If known by the client,
ordering relations on the rectangles can be specified with the ordering
argument.
This may provide faster operation by the server.
If an incorrect ordering is specified,
the server may generate a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error, but it is not required to do so.
If no error is generated,
the graphics results are undefined.
<emphasis role='bold'>UnSorted</emphasis>
means that the rectangles are in arbitrary order.
<emphasis role='bold'>YSorted</emphasis>
means that the rectangles are nondecreasing in their Y origin.
<emphasis role='bold'>YXSorted</emphasis>
additionally constrains
<emphasis role='bold'>YSorted</emphasis>
order in that all rectangles with an equal Y origin are
nondecreasing in their X origin.
<emphasis role='bold'>YXBanded</emphasis>
additionally constrains
<emphasis role='bold'>YXSorted</emphasis>
by requiring that, for every possible Y scanline,
all rectangles that include that scanline have identical Y origins and Y
extents.

This request combines the specified rectangle of src-drawable with the
specified rectangle of dst-drawable.
The src-x and src-y coordinates are relative to src-drawable's origin.
The dst-x and dst-y are relative to dst-drawable's origin,
each pair specifying the upper-left corner of the rectangle.
The src-drawable must have the same root and the same depth
as dst-drawable (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
</para>
<para>
If regions of the source rectangle are obscured and have not been retained
in backing store
or if regions outside the boundaries of the source drawable are specified,
then those regions are not copied,
but the following occurs on all corresponding destination regions that are
either visible or are retained in backing-store.
If the dst-drawable is a window with a background other than
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>,
these corresponding destination regions are tiled
(with plane-mask of all ones and function
<emphasis role='bold'>Copy</emphasis>)
with that background.
Regardless of tiling and whether the destination is a window or a pixmap,
if graphics-exposures in gc is
<emphasis role='bold'>True</emphasis>,
then
<link linkend="events:GraphicsExposure"><emphasis role='bold'>GraphicsExposure</emphasis></link>

<para>
The src-drawable must have the same root as dst-drawable (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results), but it need not have the same depth.
The bit-plane must have exactly one bit set to 1 and the value of bit-plane
must be less than %2 sup n% where <emphasis remap='I'>n</emphasis> is the depth of src-drawable (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error results).
Effectively, a pixmap of the same depth as dst-drawable and with size specified
by the source region is formed using the foreground/background pixels in gc
(foreground everywhere the bit-plane in src-drawable contains a bit set to 1,
background everywhere the bit-plane contains a bit set to 0),
and the equivalent of a
<link linkend="requests:CopyArea"><emphasis role='bold'>CopyArea</emphasis></link>
is performed, with all the same exposure semantics.
This can also be thought of as using the specified region of the source
bit-plane as a stipple with a fill-style of
<emphasis role='bold'>OpaqueStippled</emphasis>
for filling a rectangular area of the destination.

This request draws circular or elliptical arcs.
Each arc is specified by a rectangle and two angles.
The angles are signed integers in degrees scaled by 64,
with positive indicating counterclockwise motion and
negative indicating clockwise motion.
The start of the arc is specified by angle1 relative to the three-o'clock
position from the center of the rectangle,
and the path and extent of the arc is specified by angle2 relative to the
start of the arc.
If the magnitude of angle2 is greater than 360 degrees,
it is truncated to 360 degrees.
The x and y coordinates of the rectangle are relative to the origin of
the drawable.
For an arc specified as [x,y,w,h,a1,a2],
the origin of the major and minor axes is at [x+(w/2),y+(h/2)],
and the infinitely thin path describing the entire circle/ellipse intersects
the horizontal axis at [x,y+(h/2)] and [x+w,y+(h/2)] and intersects the
vertical axis at [x+(w/2),y] and [x+(w/2),y+h].
These coordinates are not necessarily integral; that is,
they are not truncated to discrete coordinates.
</para>
<para>
For a wide line with line-width lw, the ideal bounding outlines for filling
are given by the two infinitely thin paths consisting of all points whose
perpendicular distance from a tangent to the path of the circle/ellipse is
equal to lw/2 (which may be a fractional value).  When the width and height
of the arc are not equal and both are nonzero, then the actual bounding
outlines are implementation dependent.  However, the computation of the
shape and position of the bounding outlines (relative to the center of the
arc) only depends on the width and height of the arc and the
line-width.
</para>
<para>
The cap-style is applied the same as for a line corresponding to the
tangent of the circle/ellipse at the endpoint.  When the angle of an arc
face is not an integral multiple of 90 degrees, and the width and height of
the arc are both are nonzero, then the shape and position of the cap at
that face is implementation dependent.  However, for a
<emphasis role='bold'>Butt</emphasis>
cap, the face
is defined by a straight line, and the computation of the position
(relative to the center of the arc) and the slope of the line only
depends on the width and height of the arc and the angle of the arc face.
For other cap styles, the computation of the position (relative to the
center of the arc) and the shape of the cap only depends on the width
and height of the arc, the line-width, the angle of the arc face, and the
direction (clockwise or counter clockwise) of the arc from the endpoint.
</para>
<para>
The join-style is applied the same as for two lines corresponding to the
tangents of the circles/ellipses at the join point.  When the width and
height of both arcs are nonzero, and the angle of either arc face is not an
integral multiple of 90 degrees, then the shape of the join is
implementation dependent.  However, the computation of the shape only
depends on the width and height of each arc, the line-width, the angles of
the two arc faces, the direction (clockwise or counter clockwise) of the
arcs from the join point, and the relative orientation of the two arc
center points.
</para>
<para>
For an arc specified as [x,y,w,h,a1,a2],
the angles must be specified in the effectively skewed coordinate system of
the ellipse (for a circle, the angles and coordinate systems are identical).
The relationship between these angles and angles expressed in the normal
coordinate system of the screen (as measured with a protractor) is as
follows:
<literallayout class="monospaced">
	skewed-angle = atan(tan(normal-angle) * w/h) + adjust
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
The skewed-angle and normal-angle are expressed in radians (rather
than in degrees scaled by 64) in the range [0,2*PI).
The atan returns a value in the range [-PI/2,PI/2].
The adjust is:

The arcs are drawn in the order listed.
If the last point in one arc coincides with the first point in the following
arc,
the two arcs will join correctly.
If the first point in the first arc coincides with the last point
in the last arc,
the two arcs will join correctly.
For any given arc,
no pixel is drawn more than once.
If two arcs join correctly and the line-width is greater than zero
and the arcs intersect,
no pixel is drawn more than once.
Otherwise, the intersecting pixels of intersecting arcs are drawn multiple
times.
Specifying an arc with one endpoint and a clockwise extent draws the
same pixels as specifying the other endpoint and an equivalent
counterclockwise extent, except as it affects joins.

<para>
For each arc,
this request fills the region closed by the infinitely thin path
described by the specified arc and one or two line segments,
depending on the arc-mode.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>Chord</emphasis>,
the single line segment joining the endpoints of the arc is used.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>PieSlice</emphasis>,
the two line segments joining the endpoints of the arc with the center point
are used.
</para>
<para>
For an arc specified as [x,y,w,h,a1,a2], the origin of the major and minor
axes is at [x+(w/2),y+(h/2)], and the infinitely thin path describing the
entire circle/ellipse intersects the horizontal axis at [x,y+(h/2)] and
[x+w,y+(h/2)] and intersects the vertical axis at [x+(w/2),y] and
[x+(w/2),y+h].  These coordinates are not necessarily integral; that is,
they are not truncated to discrete coordinates.
</para>
<para>
The arc angles are interpreted as specified in the
<link linkend="requests:PolyArc"><emphasis role='bold'>PolyArc</emphasis></link>

the angle of an arc face is not an integral multiple of 90 degrees, then
the precise endpoint on the arc is implementation dependent.  However, for
<emphasis role='bold'>Chord</emphasis>
arc-mode, the computation of the pair of endpoints (relative to the
center of the arc) only depends on the width and height of the arc and
the angles of the two arc faces.  For

an endpoint only depends on the angle of the arc face for that
endpoint and the ratio of the arc width to arc height.

<para>
This request returns the contents of the given rectangle of the drawable in the
given format.
The x and y coordinates are relative to the drawable's origin
and define the upper-left corner of the rectangle.
If
<emphasis role='bold'>XYPixmap</emphasis>
is specified,
only the bit planes specified in plane-mask are transmitted,
with the planes appearing from most significant to least significant
in bit order.
If
<emphasis role='bold'>ZPixmap</emphasis>
is specified, then bits in all planes not specified in plane-mask are
transmitted as zero.
Range checking is not performed on plane-mask;
extraneous bits are simply ignored.
The returned depth is as specified when the drawable was created
and is the same as a depth component in a FORMAT structure (in the connection
setup), not a bits-per-pixel component.
If the drawable is a window,
its visual type is returned.
If the drawable is a pixmap,
the visual is
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
If the drawable is a pixmap,
then the given rectangle must be wholly contained within the pixmap (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
If the drawable is a window,
the window must be viewable,
and it must be the case that,
if there were no inferiors or overlapping windows,
the specified rectangle of the window would be fully visible on the screen
and wholly contained within the outside edges of the window (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
Note that the borders of the window can be included and read with this request.
If the window has a backing store,
then the backing-store contents are returned for regions of the window
that are obscured by noninferior windows;
otherwise, the returned contents of such obscured regions are undefined.
Also undefined are the returned contents of visible
regions of inferiors of different depth than the specified window.
The pointer cursor image is not included in the contents returned.

<para>
The x and y coordinates are relative to the drawable's origin
and specify the baseline starting position (the initial character origin).
Each text item is processed in turn.
A font item causes the font to be stored in gc
and to be used for subsequent text.
Switching among fonts does not affect the next character origin.
A text element delta specifies an additional change in the position
along the x axis before the string is drawn;
the delta is always added to the character origin.
Each character image, as defined by the font in gc,
is treated as an additional mask for a fill operation on the drawable.
</para>

If a

<para>
This request creates a colormap of the specified visual type for the screen
on which the window resides and associates the identifier mid with it.
The visual type must be one supported by the screen (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
The initial values of the colormap entries are undefined for classes
<emphasis role='bold'>GrayScale</emphasis>,
<emphasis role='bold'>PseudoColor</emphasis>,
and
<emphasis role='bold'>DirectColor</emphasis>.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>StaticGray</emphasis>,
<emphasis role='bold'>StaticColor</emphasis>,
and
<emphasis role='bold'>TrueColor</emphasis>,
the entries will have defined values,
but those values are specific to the visual and are not defined
by the core protocol.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>StaticGray</emphasis>,
<emphasis role='bold'>StaticColor</emphasis>,
and
<emphasis role='bold'>TrueColor</emphasis>,
alloc must be specified as
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>
(or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
For the other classes, if alloc is
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>,
the colormap initially has no allocated entries,
and clients can allocate entries.
</para>
<para>
If alloc is
<emphasis role='bold'>All</emphasis>,
then the entire colormap is allocated writable.
The initial values of all allocated entries are undefined.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>GrayScale</emphasis>
and
<emphasis role='bold'>PseudoColor</emphasis>,
the effect is as if an
<link linkend="requests:AllocColorCells"><emphasis role='bold'>AllocColorCells</emphasis></link>
request returned all pixel values from zero to N - 1,
where N is the colormap-entries value in the specified visual.
For
<emphasis role='bold'>DirectColor</emphasis>,
the effect is as if an
<link linkend="requests:AllocColorPlanes"><emphasis role='bold'>AllocColorPlanes</emphasis></link>
request returned a pixel value of zero and red-mask,
green-mask, and blue-mask values containing the same bits as the
corresponding masks in the specified visual.

This request deletes the association between the resource ID and the colormap

If the colormap is an installed map for a screen,
it is uninstalled (see

This request creates a colormap of the same visual type
and for the same screen as src-cmap,
and it associates identifier mid with it.
It also moves all of the client's existing allocations from src-cmap
to the new colormap with their color values intact
and their read-only or writable characteristics intact,
and it frees those entries in src-cmap.
Color values in other entries in the new colormap are undefined.
If src-cmap was created by the client with alloc
<emphasis role='bold'>All</emphasis>
(see
<link linkend="requests:CreateColormap"><emphasis role='bold'>CreateColormap</emphasis></link>
request),
then the new colormap is also created with alloc
<emphasis role='bold'>All</emphasis>,
all color values for all entries are copied from src-cmap,
and then all entries in src-cmap are freed.
If src-cmap was not created by the client with alloc
<emphasis role='bold'>All</emphasis>,
then the allocations to be moved are all those pixels and planes that have
been allocated by the client using either
<link linkend="requests:AllocColor"><emphasis role='bold'>AllocColor</emphasis></link>,
<link linkend="requests:AllocNamedColor"><emphasis role='bold'>AllocNamedColor</emphasis></link>,

This request makes this colormap an installed map for its screen.
All windows associated with this colormap immediately display with true colors.
As a side effect,
additional colormaps might be implicitly installed
or uninstalled by the server.
Which other colormaps get installed or uninstalled is server-dependent
except that the required list must remain installed.
</para>
<para>
If cmap is not already an installed map, a
<link linkend="events:ColormapNotify"><emphasis role='bold'>ColormapNotify</emphasis></link>
event is generated on every window having cmap as an attribute.
In addition,
for every other colormap that is installed or uninstalled as a result
of the request, a
<emphasis role='bold'>ColormapNotify</emphasis>
event is generated on every window having that colormap as an attribute.
</para>
<para>
At any time, there is a subset of the installed maps that are viewed as an
ordered list and are called the required list.
The length of the required list is at most M,
where M is the min-installed-maps specified for the screen in the
connection setup.
The required list is maintained as follows.
When a colormap is an explicit argument to
<emphasis role='bold'>InstallColormap</emphasis>,
it is added to the head of the list; the list is truncated at the
tail, if necessary, to keep the length of the list to at most M.
When a colormap is an explicit argument to
<link linkend="requests:UninstallColormap"><emphasis role='bold'>UninstallColormap</emphasis></link>
and it is in the required list, it is removed from the list.
A colormap is not added to the required list when it is installed implicitly
by the server, and the server cannot implicitly uninstall a colormap that is
in the required list.
</para>
<para>
Initially the default colormap for a screen is installed (but is not in
the required list).

This request looks up the named color with respect to the screen associated
with the colormap.
Then, it does an
<link linkend="requests:AllocColor"><emphasis role='bold'>AllocColor</emphasis></link>

The name should use the ISO Latin-1 encoding,
and uppercase and lowercase do not matter.
The exact RGB values specify the true values for the color,

The number of colors must be positive,

<para>
The plane-mask should not have any bits in common with any of the
pixels.
The set of all pixels is produced by ORing together subsets of
plane-mask with the pixels.
The request frees all of these pixels that
were allocated by the client (using
<link linkend="requests:AllocColor"><emphasis role='bold'>AllocColor</emphasis></link>,
<link linkend="requests:AllocNamedColor"><emphasis role='bold'>AllocNamedColor</emphasis></link>,
<link linkend="requests:AllocColorCells"><emphasis role='bold'>AllocColorCells</emphasis></link>,
and
<link linkend="requests:AllocColorPlanes"><emphasis role='bold'>AllocColorPlanes</emphasis></link>).
Note that freeing an
individual pixel obtained from
<link linkend="requests:AllocColorPlanes"><emphasis role='bold'>AllocColorPlanes</emphasis></link>
may not actually allow it to be reused until all of its related pixels
are also freed.
Similarly, a read-only entry is not actually freed until it has been
freed by all clients, and if a client allocates the same read-only entry
multiple times, it must free the entry that many times before the
entry is actually freed.
</para>
<para>
All specified pixels that are allocated by the client in cmap are freed,
even if one or more pixels produce an error.
A
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error is generated if a specified pixel is not a valid index into cmap.
An
<emphasis role='bold'>Access</emphasis>
error is generated if a specified pixel is not allocated by the
client (that is, is unallocated or is only allocated by another client)
or if the colormap was created with all entries writable (using an alloc
value of
<emphasis role='bold'>All</emphasis>
in
<link linkend="requests:CreateColormap"><emphasis role='bold'>CreateColormap</emphasis></link>).
If more than one pixel is in error,
it is arbitrary as to which pixel is reported.

This request creates a cursor and associates identifier cid with it.
The foreground and background RGB values must be specified,
even if the server only has a
<emphasis role='bold'>StaticGray</emphasis>
or
<emphasis role='bold'>GrayScale</emphasis>
screen.
The foreground is used for the bits set to 1 in the source,
and the background is used for the bits set to 0.
Both source and mask (if specified) must have depth one (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results), but they can have any root.
The mask pixmap defines the shape of the cursor.
That is,
the bits set to 1 in the mask define which source pixels will be displayed,
and where the mask has bits set to 0,
the corresponding bits of the source pixmap are ignored.
If no mask is given,
all pixels of the source are displayed.
The mask, if present, must be the same size as the source (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
The x and y coordinates define the hotspot relative to the source's origin
and must be a point within the source (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Match</emphasis>
error results).
</para>
<para>
The components of the cursor may be transformed arbitrarily to meet
display limitations.
</para>
<para>
The pixmaps can be freed immediately if no further explicit references
to them are to be made.
</para>

Subsequent drawing in the source or mask pixmap has an undefined effect

This request is similar to
<link linkend="requests:CreateCursor"><emphasis role='bold'>CreateCursor</emphasis></link>,
except the source and mask bitmaps are obtained from the specified font glyphs.
The source-char must be a defined glyph in source-font,
and if mask-font is given, mask-char must be a defined glyph in mask-font
(or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error results).
The mask font and character are optional.
The origins of the source and mask (if it is defined) glyphs
are positioned coincidently and define the hotspot.
The source and mask need not have the same bounding box metrics,

<para>
This request specifies the keycodes (if any) of the keys to be used as
modifiers.
The number of keycodes in the list must be 8*keycodes-per-modifier (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Length</emphasis>
error results).
The keycodes are divided into eight sets,
with each set containing keycodes-per-modifier elements.
The sets are assigned to the modifiers
<emphasis role='bold'>Shift</emphasis>,
<emphasis role='bold'>Lock</emphasis>,
<emphasis role='bold'>Control</emphasis>,
<emphasis role='bold'>Mod1</emphasis>,
<emphasis role='bold'>Mod2</emphasis>,
<emphasis role='bold'>Mod3</emphasis>,
<emphasis role='bold'>Mod4</emphasis>,
and
<emphasis role='bold'>Mod5</emphasis>,
in order.
Only nonzero keycode values are used within each set;
zero values are ignored.
All of the nonzero keycodes must be in the range specified by min-keycode
and max-keycode in the connection setup (or a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error results).
The order of keycodes within a set does not matter.
If no nonzero values are specified in a set,
the use of the corresponding modifier is disabled,
and the modifier bit will always be zero.
Otherwise, the modifier bit will be one whenever
at least one of the keys in the corresponding set is in the down
position.
</para>
<para>
A server can impose restrictions on how modifiers can be changed (for example,
if certain keys do not generate up transitions in hardware,
if auto-repeat cannot be disabled on certain keys,
or if multiple keys per modifier are not supported).
The status reply is
<emphasis role='bold'>Failed</emphasis>
if some such restriction is violated,
and none of the modifiers is changed.
</para>
<para>
If the new nonzero keycodes specified for a modifier differ from those
currently defined and any (current or new) keys for that modifier are
logically in the down state, then the status reply is
<emphasis role='bold'>Busy</emphasis>,
and none of the modifiers is changed.

It is a

error if a key is specified without an auto-repeat-mode.
Each key has an individual mode of whether or not it should auto-repeat

In addition, there is a global mode of whether auto-repeat should be

When the global mode is
<emphasis role='bold'>On</emphasis>,
keys should obey their individual auto-repeat modes.
When the global mode is

An auto-repeating key generates alternating

and

When a key is used as a modifier,

This request returns the current control values for the keyboard.
For the LEDs,
the least significant bit of led-mask corresponds to LED one,
and each one bit in led-mask indicates an LED that is lit.
The auto-repeats is a bit vector;
each one bit indicates that auto-repeat is enabled for the corresponding key.
The vector is represented as 32 bytes.
Byte N (from 0) contains the bits for keys 8N to 8N + 7,
with the least significant bit in the byte representing key 8N.

This request defines how the pointer moves.
The acceleration is a multiplier for movement expressed as a fraction.
For example,
specifying 3/1 means the pointer moves three times as fast as normal.
The fraction can be rounded arbitrarily by the server.
Acceleration only takes effect if the pointer moves more than threshold
number of pixels at once and only applies to the amount beyond the threshold.
Setting a value to -1 restores the default.
Other negative values generate a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error, as does a zero value for acceleration-denominator.

<para>
The timeout and interval are specified in seconds;
setting a value to -1 restores the default.
Other negative values generate a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error.
If the timeout value is zero,
screen-saver is disabled (but an activated screen-saver is not deactivated).
If the timeout value is nonzero,
screen-saver is enabled.
Once screen-saver is enabled,
if no input from the keyboard or pointer is generated for timeout seconds,
screen-saver is activated.
For each screen,
if blanking is preferred and the hardware supports video blanking,
the screen will simply go blank.
Otherwise,
if either exposures are allowed or the screen can be regenerated without
sending exposure events to clients,
the screen is changed in a server-dependent fashion to avoid phosphor burn.
Otherwise,
the state of the screens does not change, and screen-saver is not activated.
At the next keyboard or pointer input or at the next
<link linkend="requests:ForceScreenSaver"><emphasis role='bold'>ForceScreenSaver</emphasis></link>
with mode
<emphasis role='bold'>Reset</emphasis>,
screen-saver is deactivated, and all screen states are restored.
</para>
<para>
If the server-dependent screen-saver method is amenable to periodic change,
interval serves as a hint about how long the change period should be,
with zero hinting that no periodic change should be made.
Examples of ways to change the screen include scrambling the color map
periodically, moving an icon image about the screen periodically, or
tiling the screen with the root window background tile,
randomly reorigined periodically.

This request adds or removes the specified host from the access control list.
<indexterm zone="requests:ChangeHosts"><primary>Access control list</primary></indexterm>
When the access control mechanism is enabled and a client attempts to
establish a connection to the server,
the host on which the client resides must be in the access control list,
or the client must have been granted permission by a server-dependent
method, or the server will refuse the connection.
</para>
<para>
The client must reside on the same host as the server and/or have been granted
permission by a server-dependent method to execute this request (or an
<emphasis role='bold'>Access</emphasis>
error results).
</para>
<para>
An initial access control list can usually be specified,
typically by naming a file that the server reads at startup and reset.
</para>
<para id="address_families">
The following address families are defined.
<indexterm zone="address_families"><primary>Types</primary><secondary>HOST</secondary></indexterm>
A server is not required to support these families
and may support families not listed here.
Use of an unsupported family, an improper address format,
or an improper address length within a supported family results in a
<emphasis role='bold'>Value</emphasis>
error.
</para>
<para>
For the Internet family,
the address must be four bytes long.
The address bytes are in standard IP order;
the server performs no automatic swapping on the address bytes.
The Internet family supports IP version 4 addresses only.
</para>
<para>
For the InternetV6 family, the address must be sixteen bytes
long.  The address bytes are in standard IP order; the
server performs no automatic swapping on the address bytes.
The InternetV6 family supports IP version 6 addresses only.
</para>
<para>
For the DECnet family,
the server performs no automatic swapping on the address bytes.
A Phase IV address is two bytes long:
the first byte contains the least significant eight bits of the node number,
and the second byte contains the most significant two bits of the node number in
the least significant two bits of the byte and the area in the most
significant six bits of the byte.
</para>
<para>
For the Chaos family,
the address must be two bytes long.
The host number is always the first byte in the address,
and the subnet number is always the second byte.
The server performs no automatic swapping on the address bytes.
</para>
<para>
For the ServerInterpreted family, the address may be of any
length up to 65535 bytes.  The address consists of two strings
of ASCII characters, separated by a byte with a value of 0.
The first string represents the type of address, and the second
string contains the address value.  Address types and the syntax
for their associated values will be registered via the X.Org Registry.
Implementors who wish to add implementation specific types may register
a unique prefix with the X.Org registry to prevent namespace
collisions.
</para>
<para>
Use of a host address in the ChangeHosts request is deprecated.  It is
only useful when a host has a unique, constant address, a requirement
that is increasingly unmet as sites adopt dynamically assigned
addresses, network address translation gateways, IPv6 link local
addresses, and various other technologies.  It also assumes all users of
a host share equivalent access rights, and as such has never been
suitable for many multi-user machine environments.  Instead, more
secure forms of authentication, such as those based on shared secrets
or public key encryption, are recommended.

When a client's resources are destroyed,

The reparenting leaves unchanged the absolute coordinates
(with respect to the root window) of the upper-left outer corner of the
save-set window.
After save-set processing,
all windows created by the client are destroyed.
For each nonwindow resource created by the client,
the appropriate

A server goes through a cycle of having no connections and having some
connections.
At every transition to the state of having no connections
as a result of a connection closing with a
<emphasis role='bold'>Destroy</emphasis>
close-down mode,
the server resets its state as if it had just been started.
This starts by destroying all lingering resources from clients
that have terminated in
<emphasis role='bold'>RetainPermanent</emphasis>
or
<emphasis role='bold'>RetainTemporary</emphasis>
mode.
It additionally includes deleting all but the predefined atom identifiers,
deleting all properties on all root windows, resetting all device maps and
attributes (key click, bell volume, acceleration), resetting the access
control list, restoring the standard root tiles and cursors, restoring
the default font path, and restoring the input focus to state
<emphasis role='bold'>PointerRoot</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
Note that closing a connection with a close-down mode of
<emphasis role='bold'>RetainPermanent</emphasis>
or
<emphasis role='bold'>RetainTemporary</emphasis>
will not cause the server to reset.

When a button press is processed with the pointer in some window W
and no active pointer grab is in progress,
the ancestors of W are searched from the root down,
looking for a passive grab to activate.
If no matching passive grab on the button exists,
then an active grab is started automatically for the client receiving the event,
and the last-pointer-grab time is set to the current server time.
The effect is essentially equivalent to a

<para>
These events are generated either when a key or button logically changes state
or when the pointer logically moves.
The generation of these logical changes may lag the physical changes
if device event processing is frozen.
Note that
<emphasis role='bold'>KeyPress</emphasis>
and
<emphasis role='bold'>KeyRelease</emphasis>
are generated for all keys, even those mapped to modifier bits.
<phrase id="events:input:source">
The source of the event is the window the pointer is in.
</phrase>
<indexterm zone="events:input:source"><primary>Event</primary><secondary>source</secondary></indexterm>
The window the event is reported with respect to is called the event window.
The event window is found by starting with the source window and
looking up the hierarchy for the first window on which any client has selected
interest in the event (provided no intervening window prohibits event
generation by including the event type in its do-not-propagate-mask).
The actual window used for reporting can be modified by active grabs and,
in the case of keyboard events, can be modified by the focus window.
</para>
<para>
The root is the root window of the source window,
and root-x and root-y are the pointer coordinates relative to root's origin
at the time of the event.
Event is the event window.
If the event window is on the same screen as root,
then event-x and event-y are the pointer coordinates relative to the
event window's origin.
Otherwise, event-x and event-y are zero.
If the source window is an inferior of the event window,
then child is set to the child of the event window that is an
ancestor of (or is) the source window.
Otherwise, it is set to
<emphasis role='bold'>None</emphasis>.
The state component gives the logical state of the buttons and modifier keys
just before the event.
The detail component type varies with the event type:

<para>
<emphasis role='bold'>MotionNotify</emphasis>
events are only generated when the motion begins and ends in the window.
The granularity of motion events is not guaranteed,
but a client selecting for motion events is guaranteed to get at least one
event when the pointer moves and comes to rest.
Selecting
<emphasis role='bold'>PointerMotion</emphasis>
receives events independent of the state of the pointer buttons.
By selecting some subset of
<emphasis role='bold'>Button[1-5]Motion</emphasis>
instead,
<emphasis role='bold'>MotionNotify</emphasis>
events will only be received when one or more of the
specified buttons are pressed.
By selecting
<emphasis role='bold'>ButtonMotion</emphasis>,
<emphasis role='bold'>MotionNotify</emphasis>
events will be received only when at least one button is pressed.
The events are always of type
<emphasis role='bold'>MotionNotify</emphasis>,
independent of the selection.
If
<emphasis role='bold'>PointerMotionHint</emphasis>
is selected,
the server is free to send only one
<emphasis role='bold'>MotionNotify</emphasis>
event (with detail
<emphasis role='bold'>Hint</emphasis>)
to the client for the event window until
either the key or button state changes,
the pointer leaves the event window,
or the client issues a

This event is reported to clients selecting

on the window.
It is generated when no valid contents are available for regions of a window,
and either the regions are visible, the regions are viewable
and the server is (perhaps newly) maintaining backing store on the window,
or the window is not viewable but the server is (perhaps newly) honoring
window's backing-store attribute of
<emphasis role='bold'>Always</emphasis>
or
<emphasis role='bold'>WhenMapped</emphasis>.
The regions are decomposed into an arbitrary set of rectangles,
and an
<emphasis role='bold'>Expose</emphasis>
event is generated for each rectangle.

For a given action causing exposure events,
the set of events for a given window are guaranteed to be reported contiguously.
If count is zero,

If count is nonzero,
then at least that many more
<emphasis role='bold'>Expose</emphasis>
events for this window follow (and possibly more).

The x and y coordinates are relative to window's origin
and specify the upper-left corner of a rectangle.

<para>
This event is only generated by clients using
<link linkend="requests:SendEvent"><emphasis role='bold'>SendEvent</emphasis></link>.
The type specifies how the data is to be interpreted by the receiving client;
the server places no interpretation on the type or the data.
The format specifies whether the data should be viewed as a list of 8-bit,
16-bit, or 32-bit quantities, so that the server can correctly
byte-swap, as necessary.
The data always consists of either 20 8-bit values or 10 16-bit values
or 5 32-bit values, although particular message types might not make use
of all of these values.

<para>
Whenever the server is writing to a given connection,
it is permissible for the server to stop reading from that connection
(but if the writing would block, it must continue to service other connections).
The server is not required to buffer more than a single request per connection
at one time.
For a given connection to the server,
a client can block while reading from the connection
but should undertake to read (events and errors) when writing would block.
Failure on the part of a client to obey this rule could result
in a deadlocked connection,
although deadlock is probably unlikely unless either
the transport layer has very little buffering or the client attempts to
send large numbers of requests without ever reading replies or checking for
errors and events.
</para>
<para>
Whether or not a server is implemented with internal concurrency,
the overall effect must be as if individual requests are executed to completion
in some serial order,
and requests from a given connection must be executed in delivery order
(that is, the total execution order is a shuffle of the individual streams).
The execution of a request includes validating all arguments,
collecting all data for any reply,
and generating and queueing all required events.
However,
it does not include the actual transmission of the reply and the events.
In addition, the effect of any other cause that can generate multiple events
(for example, activation of a grab or pointer motion) must effectively generate
and queue all required events indivisibly with respect to all other causes
and requests.
For a request from a given client,
any events destined for that client that are caused by executing the request
must be sent to the client before any reply or error is sent.
