XFillRectangle

Syntax

XFillRectangle(display, d, gc, x, y, width, height)
      Display *display;
      Drawable d;
      GC gc;
      int x, y;
      unsigned int width, height;

Arguments

display Specifies the connection to the X server.
d Specifies the drawable.
gc Specifies the GC.
x
y
Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the drawable and specify the upper-left corner of the rectangle.
width
height
Specify the width and height, which are the dimensions of the rectangle to be filled.

Description

The XFillRectangle() function fills the specified rectangle as if a four-point FillPolygon protocol request were specified for each rectangle:

[x,y] [x+width,y] [x+width,y+height] [x,y+height]

The function uses the x and y coordinates, width and height dimensions, and GC you specify.

For any given rectangle, XFillRectangle() does not draw a pixel more than once. If rectangles intersect, the intersecting pixels are drawn multiple times.

The function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, fill-style, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. They also use these GC mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin, and tile-stipple-y-origin.

XFillRectangle() can generate BadDrawable , BadGC , and BadMatch errors.

Diagnostics

BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
BadGC A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext.
BadMatch An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.
BadMatch Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but fails to match in some other way required by the request.
