What's the easiest way to make a 'XClearPixmap' work
the same way as 'XClearWindow'.

> What's the easiest way to make a 'XClearPixmap' work the same way as > 'XClearWindow'. It doesn't make sense? XClearWindow clears a window to what. Its background, that's what? But pixmaps don't have backgrounds, so it doesn't make sense to speak of clearing a pixmap to its background? The Xlib documentation even says as much: 6.1. Clearing Areas Xlib provides functions that you can use to clear an area or the entire window. Because pixmaps do not have defined backgrounds, they cannot be filled by using the functions described in this section. Instead, to accomplish an analo- gous operation on a pixmap, you should use XFillRectangle, which sets the pixmap to a known value. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
