XpmCreatePixmap(3) libXpm functions XpmCreatePixmap(3)
NAME XpmCreatePixmap - create a pixmap
SYNOPSIS
int XpmCreatePixmapFromData(Display *display, Drawable d, char **data, Pixmap *pixmap_return, Pixmap *shapemask_return, XpmAttributes *attributes);
int XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer(Display *display, Drawable d, char *buffer, Pixmap *pixmap_return, Pixmap *shapemask_return, XpmAttributes *attributes);
int XpmCreatePixmapFromXpmImage(Display *display, Drawable d, XpmImage *image, Pixmap *pixmap_return, Pixmap *shapemask_return, XpmAttributes *attributes);

ARGUMENTS display Specifies the connection to the X server.
d Specifies which screen the pixmap is created on.
buffer Specifies the location of the buffer.
pixmap_return Returns the pixmap which is created if the color None.
shapemask_return Returns the shape mask pixmap which is created if the color None is used.
attributes Specifies the location of a structure to get and store information.
image Specifies the XpmImage.

DESCRIPTION XpmCreatePixmapFromData To create a Pixmap from an XPM data, use XpmCreatePixmapFromData(). The XpmCreatePixmapFromData() function creates X images using XpmCreateImageFromData(3) and thus returns the same errors. In addition on success it then creates the related pixmaps, using XPutImage(3), which are returned to pixmap_return and shapemask_return if not NULL, and finally destroys the created images using XDestroyImage(3). Do not forget to free the returned pixmaps, the colors, and possibly the data returned into the XpmAttributes structure when done.

XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer To create a Pixmap from an XPM buffer, use XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer(). The XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer() function works the same way as XpmReadFileToPixmap(3), it just calls XpmCreateImageFromBuffer(3) to pixmap_return and shapemask_return using XPutImage(3). Finally it destroys the X images with XDestroyImage(3). When finished the caller must free the pixmaps using XFreePixmap(3), the colors using XFreeColors(3) or the application equivalent function when the standard Xlib functions are not used, and possibly the data returned into the XpmAttributes using XpmFreeAttributes(3).
