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.
.LP
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.

Protocol Formats

\*(SN Protocol Formats
.XE
.SH
Request Format
.LP
Every request contains an 8-bit major opcode and a 16-bit length field
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 extensions.
Extensions are intended to contain multiple requests, 
so extension requests typically have an additional minor opcode encoded 
in the second data byte in the request header.
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 sequence number, 
starting with one, that is used in replies, errors, and events.
.SH
Reply Format
.LP
Every reply 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.
.SH
Error Format
.LP
Error reports are 32 bytes long.
Every error includes an 8-bit error code.
Error codes 128 through 255 are reserved for extensions.
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 section 4), 
the failing resource ID is also returned: 
.PN Colormap ,
.PN Cursor , 
.PN Drawable , 
.PN Font , 
.PN GContext , 
.PN IDChoice , 
.PN Pixmap , 
and 
.PN Window .
For 
.PN Atom 
errors, the failing atom is returned.
For 
.PN Value 
errors, the failing value is returned.
Other core errors return no additional data.
Unused bytes within an error are not guaranteed to be zero.
.SH
Event Format
.LP
Events are 32 bytes long.
Unused bytes within an event are not guaranteed to be zero.
Every event contains an 8-bit type code.
The most significant bit in this code is set if the event was generated from a 
.PN SendEvent 
request.
Event codes 64 through 127 are reserved for extensions, although the core
protocol does not define a mechanism for selecting interest in such events.
Every core event (with the exception of 
.PN KeymapNotify ) 
also contains the least significant 16 bits of the sequence number of the last 
request issued by the client that was (or is currently being) processed by 
the server.

LISTofFOO	T{
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.

The types BITMASK and LISTofVALUE are somewhat special.
Various requests contain arguments of the form:
.br
\fIvalue-mask\fP\^: BITMASK
.br
\fIvalue-list\fP\^: LISTofVALUE
.br
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 
.PN Value 
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.

The [x,y] coordinates of a RECTANGLE specify the upper-left corner.
.LP
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.
.LP
The length, format, and interpretation of a HOST address are specific to the
family (see 
.PN ChangeHosts 
request).

A KEYCODE represents a physical (or logical) key.
Keycodes lie in the inclusive range [8,255].
A keycode value carries no intrinsic information,
although server implementors may attempt to encode geometry information
(for example, matrix) to be interpreted in a server-dependent fashion.
The mapping between keys and keycodes cannot be changed using the 
protocol.
.LP
A KEYSYM is an encoding of a symbol on the cap of a key.
The set of defined KEYSYMs include the character sets Latin-1, Latin-2, 
Latin-3, Latin-4, Kana, Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, Tech, Special, Publish, APL, 
Hebrew, Thai, and Korean as well as a set of symbols common on keyboards
(Return, Help, Tab, 
and so on).
KEYSYMs with the most significant bit (of the 29 bits) set are reserved 
as vendor-specific.
.LP
A list of KEYSYMs is associated with each KEYCODE.
The list is intended to convey the set of symbols on the corresponding key.
If the list (ignoring trailing
.PN NoSymbol 
entries) is a single KEYSYM ``\fIK\fP'',
then the list is treated as if it were 
the list ``\fIK\fP NoSymbol \fIK\fP NoSymbol''.
If the list (ignoring trailing NoSymbol entries) is a pair of KEYSYMs
``\fIK1 K2\fP'', then the list is treated as if it were the list
``\fIK1 K2 K1 K2\fP''. 
If the list (ignoring trailing
.PN NoSymbol 
entries) is 
a triple of KEYSYMs ``\fIK1 K2 K3\fP'',
then the list is treated as if it were the list ``\fIK1 K2 K3\fP NoSymbol''.
When an explicit ``void'' element is desired in the list,
the value
.PN VoidSymbol 
can be used.
.LP
The first four elements of the list are split into two groups of KEYSYMs.
Group 1 contains the first and second KEYSYMs, Group 2 contains the third and
fourth KEYSYMs.
Within each group, 
if the second element of the group is
.PN NoSymbol , 
then the group should be treated as if the second element were the
same as the first element, except when the first element is an alphabetic
KEYSYM ``\fIK\fP'' for which both lowercase and uppercase forms are defined.
In that case, the group should be treated as if the first element were the
lowercase form of ``\fIK\fP'' and the second element were the uppercase form
of ``\fIK\fP''.
.LP
The standard rules for obtaining a KEYSYM from a
.PN KeyPress 
event make use of only the Group 1 and Group 2 KEYSYMs; no interpretation of
other KEYSYMs in the list is defined.  The modifier state determines which 
group to use.  Switching between groups is controlled by the KEYSYM named
MODE SWITCH, by attaching that KEYSYM to some KEYCODE and attaching that
KEYCODE to any one of the modifiers
.PN Mod1 
through
.PN Mod5 . 
This modifier is
called the ``group modifier''.  For any KEYCODE, Group 1 is used when the
group modifier is off, and Group 2 is used when the group modifier is on.
.LP
The
.PN Lock 
modifier is interpreted as CapsLock when the KEYSYM named CAPS
LOCK is attached to some KEYCODE and that KEYCODE is attached to the
.PN Lock 
modifier.  The
.PN Lock 
modifier is interpreted as ShiftLock when the KEYSYM
named SHIFT LOCK is attached to some KEYCODE and that KEYCODE is attached
to the
.PN Lock 
modifier.  If the
.PN Lock 
modifier could be interpreted as both
CapsLock and ShiftLock, the CapsLock interpretation is used.
.LP
The operation of ``keypad'' keys is controlled by the KEYSYM named NUM LOCK,
by attaching that KEYSYM to some KEYCODE and attaching that KEYCODE to any
one of the modifiers
.PN Mod1 
through
.PN Mod5 . 
This modifier is called the
``numlock modifier''.  The standard KEYSYMs with the prefix KEYPAD in their
name are called ``keypad'' KEYSYMs; these are KEYSYMS with numeric value in
the hexadecimal range #xFF80 to #xFFBD inclusive.  In addition,
vendor-specific KEYSYMS in the hexadecimal range #x11000000 to #x1100FFFF
are also keypad KEYSYMs.
.LP
Within a group, the choice of KEYSYM is determined by applying the first
rule that is satisfied from the following list:
.IP \(bu 5
The numlock modifier is on and the second KEYSYM is a keypad KEYSYM.  In
this case, if the
.PN Shift 
modifier is on, or if the
.PN Lock 
modifier is on and
is interpreted as ShiftLock, then the first KEYSYM is used; otherwise, the
second KEYSYM is used.
.IP \(bu 5
The
.PN Shift 
and
.PN Lock 
modifiers are both off.  In this case, the first
KEYSYM is used.
.IP \(bu 5
The
.PN Shift 
modifier is off, and the
.PN Lock 
modifier is on and is
interpreted as CapsLock.  In this case, the first KEYSYM is used, but if
that KEYSYM is lowercase alphabetic, then the corresponding uppercase
KEYSYM is used instead.
.IP \(bu 5
The
.PN Shift 
modifier is on, and the
.PN Lock 
modifier is on and is interpreted
as CapsLock.  In this case, the second KEYSYM is used, but if that KEYSYM
is lowercase alphabetic, then the corresponding uppercase KEYSYM is used
instead.
.IP \(bu 5
The
.PN Shift 
modifier is on, or the
.PN Lock 
modifier is on and is interpreted
as ShiftLock, or both.  In this case, the second KEYSYM is used.
.LP
The mapping between KEYCODEs and KEYSYMs is not used directly by the server;
it is merely stored for reading and writing by clients.

Predefined atoms are not strictly necessary and may not be useful in all
environments, but they will eliminate many

requests in most applications.
Note that they are predefined only in the sense of having numeric values, 
not in the sense of having required semantics.
The core protocol imposes no semantics on these names,
but semantics are specified in other X Window System standards,
such as the \fIInter-Client Communication Conventions Manual\fP

.LP
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.

Connection Setup
.XS
\*(SN Connection Setup
.XE
.LP
For remote clients, 
the X protocol can be built on top of any reliable byte stream.
.SH
Connection Initiation
.LP
The client must send an initial byte of data to identify the byte order to be
employed.
The value of the byte must be octal 102 or 154.
The value 102 (ASCII uppercase B) means values are transmitted most significant
byte first, and value 154 (ASCII lowercase l) means values are transmitted 
least significant byte first.
Except where explicitly noted in the protocol,
all 16-bit and 32-bit quantities sent by the client must be transmitted with 
this byte order,
and all 16-bit and 32-bit quantities returned by the server will be transmitted
with this byte order.
.LP
Following the byte-order byte,
the client sends the following information at connection setup:
.IP
protocol-major-version: CARD16
.br
protocol-minor-version: CARD16
.br
authorization-protocol-name: STRING8
.br
authorization-protocol-data: STRING8
.LP
The version numbers indicate what version of the protocol the client
expects the server to implement.
.LP
The authorization name indicates what authorization (and authentication)
protocol the client
expects the server to use, and the data is specific to that protocol.
Specification of valid authorization mechanisms is not part of the core
X protocol.
A server that does not implement the protocol the client expects 
or that only implements the host-based mechanism may simply ignore this
information.
If both name and data strings are empty,
this is to be interpreted as ``no explicit authorization.''
.SH
Server Response
.LP
The client receives the following information at connection setup:
.IP
success:
.Pn { Failed ,
.PN Success ,
.PN Authenticate }
.LP
The client receives the following additional data if the returned success
value is
.PN Failed ,
and the connection is not successfully established:
.IP
protocol-major-version: CARD16
.br

.br

.LP
The client receives the following additional data if the returned success
value is
.PN Authenticate ,
and further authentication negotiation is required:
.IP

.LP
The contents of the reason string are specific to the authorization
protocol in use.  The semantics of this authentication negotiation are
not constrained, except that the negotiation must eventually terminate
with a reply from the server containing a success value of
.PN Failed

Server Information
.LP
The information that is global to the server is:
.LP
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.
.LP
The vendor string gives some identification of the owner of the server
implementation.
The vendor controls the semantics of the release number.
.LP
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.
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
A bitmap is represented in scanline order.
Each scanline 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.
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.
.LP
Pixmap-formats contains one entry for each depth value.
The entry describes the Z format 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.
.LP
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.
.LP
The server may retain the recent history of pointer motion and do so to a
finer granularity than is reported by 
.PN MotionNotify 
events.
The 
.PN GetMotionEvents 
request makes such history available.
The motion-buffer-size gives the approximate maximum number 
of elements in the history buffer.
.LP
Maximum-request-length specifies the maximum length of a request
accepted by the server, in 4-byte units.
That is, length is the maximum value that can appear in the length field of a 
request.
Requests larger than this maximum generate a 
.PN Length 
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).
.LP
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.
.SH
Screen Information
.LP
The information that applies per screen is:
.LP
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
.PN InputOnly 
windows are always supported.
.LP
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 
.PN InputOutput .
Width-in-millimeters and height-in-millimeters can be used to determine the 
physical size and the aspect ratio.
.LP
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
Min-installed-maps specifies the number of maps that can be guaranteed
to be installed simultaneously (with 
.PN InstallColormap ), 
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.
.LP
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 
.PN True , 
the server can support the save-under mode in 
.PN CreateWindow 
and
.PN ChangeWindowAttributes , 
although again it may be storage limited.
.LP
The current-input-events is what 
.PN GetWindowAttributes 
would return for the all-event-masks for the root window.
.SH
Visual Information
.LP
The information that applies per visual-type is:
.LP
A given visual type might be listed for more than one depth or for
more than one screen.
.LP
For 
.PN PseudoColor , 
a pixel value indexes a colormap to produce independent RGB values; 
the RGB values can be changed dynamically.
.PN GrayScale 
is treated in the same way as 
.PN PseudoColor 
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 
.PN DirectColor , 
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.
.PN TrueColor 
is treated in the same way as 
.PN DirectColor 
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.
.PN StaticColor 
is treated in the same way as 
.PN PseudoColor 
except the colormap has predefined read-only RGB values,
which are server-dependent.
.PN StaticGray 
is treated in the same way as 
.PN StaticColor 
except the red, green, and blue values are equal for any
single pixel value, resulting in shades of gray.
.PN StaticGray 
with a two-entry colormap can be thought of as monochrome.
.LP
The red-mask, green-mask, and blue-mask are only defined for
.PN DirectColor 
and 
.PN TrueColor .
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.
.LP
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:
.LP
.RS
.DS
hw-intensity = protocol-intensity / (65536 / total-hw-intensities)
.DE
.RE
.LP
Colormap entries are indexed from 0.
The colormap-entries defines the number of available colormap entries in a 
newly created colormap.
For 
.PN DirectColor 
and 
.PN TrueColor , 
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 depth is taken from the parent.
A visual of

.LP
The server essentially acts as if
.PN InputOnly 
windows do not exist for the purposes of graphics requests,
exposure processing, and 
.PN VisibilityNotify

An

requests).
.PN InputOnly 
and 
.PN InputOutput 
windows act identically in other respects\-properties,
grabs, input control, and so on.
.LP
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,
in terms of pixels,
and coincide with pixel centers.
Each window and pixmap has its own coordinate system.
For a window, 
the origin is inside the border at the inside, upper-left corner.
.LP
The x and y coordinates
for the window are relative to the parent's origin
and specify the position of the upper-left outer corner of the window

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

Any size pixmap can be used, although some sizes may be faster than others.
If background
.PN None 
is specified, the window has no defined background.
If background
.PN ParentRelative 
is specified, the parent's background is used, 
but the window must have the same depth as the parent (or a

If the parent has background 
.PN None , 
then the window will also have background 
.PN None .
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

background, 
the background tile origin always aligns with the parent's background tile 
origin.
Otherwise, the background tile origin is always the window origin.

If the background is 
.PN None , 
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
.PN None .
.LP
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 
.PN Match 
error results).
Any size pixmap can be used,
although some sizes may be faster than others.
If 
.PN CopyFromParent 
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 
.PN Match 
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.
.LP
Output to a window is always clipped to the inside of the window, 
so that the border is never affected.
.LP
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 
.PN ConfigureWindow 
request).
.LP
A backing-store of 
.PN WhenMapped 
advises the server that maintaining contents of obscured regions 
when the window is mapped would be beneficial.
A backing-store of
.PN Always 
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
.PN NotUseful 
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.
.LP
If save-under is 
.PN True , 
the server is advised that when this window is
mapped, saving the contents of windows it obscures would be beneficial.
.LP
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
The override-redirect specifies whether map and configure requests on this
window should override a 
.PN SubstructureRedirect
on the parent, typically to inform a window manager not to tamper with 
the window.
.LP
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
.PN InstallColormap 
requests.
The colormap must have the same visual type and root as the window (or a 
.PN Match
error results).
If 
.PN CopyFromParent 
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 
.PN Match 
error results), and the parent must not have a colormap of 
.PN None 
(or a 
.PN Match 
error results).
For an explanation of
.PN None ,
see
.PN FreeColormap 
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.
.LP
If a cursor is specified, 
it will be used whenever the pointer is in the window.
If 
.PN None 
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.
.LP
This request generates a 
.PN CreateNotify 
event.
.LP
The background and border pixmaps and the cursor may be freed
immediately if no further explicit references to them are to be made.
.LP
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.

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 
.PN SubstructureRedirect , 
only one client at a time can select for 
.PN ResizeRedirect , 
and only one client at a time can select for
.PN ButtonPress .
An attempt to violate these restrictions results in an
.PN Access 
error.
.LP
There is only one do-not-propagate-mask for a window, not one per
client.
.LP
Changing the colormap of a window (by defining a new map, not by
changing the contents of the existing map) generates a 
.PN ColormapNotify 
event.
Changing the colormap of a visible window might have no immediate effect 
on the screen (see

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 
.PN Value 
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 
.PN Match 
error to attempt to make the border-width of an

If the override-redirect attribute of the window is

and some other client has selected 
.PN SubstructureRedirect 
on the parent, a

Otherwise, the following is performed:
.LP
If some other client has selected 
.PN ResizeRedirect 
on the window and the inside width or height of the window is being changed, 
a
.PN ResizeRequest 
event is generated, 
and the current inside width and height are used instead.
Note that the override-redirect attribute of the window has no effect on
.PN ResizeRedirect 
and that 
.PN SubstructureRedirect 
on the parent has precedence over 
.PN ResizeRedirect 
on the window.
.LP
The geometry of the window is changed as specified, 
the window is restacked among siblings, and a 
.PN ConfigureNotify 
event is generated if the state of the window actually changes.
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.
.LP
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.

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 
.PN GravityNotify 
event.
.PN GravityNotify 
events are generated after the 
.PN ConfigureNotify 
event is generated.
.LP
A gravity of 
.PN Static 
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 
.PN Static 
gravity still only takes effect when the width or height of the 
window is changed, not when the window is simply moved.
.LP
A bit-gravity of 
.PN Forget 
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.

The contents and borders of inferiors are not affected by their parent's
bit-gravity.
A server is permitted to ignore the specified bit-gravity and use 
.PN Forget 
instead.

A win-gravity of

This request establishes a passive grab on the keyboard.
In the future,
the keyboard is actively grabbed as described in
.PN GrabKeyboard , 
the last-keyboard-grab time is set to the time at which the key was pressed 
(as transmitted in the 
.PN KeyPress 
event), and the 
.PN KeyPress 
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.
.LP
The interpretation of the remaining arguments is the same as for 
.PN GrabKeyboard .
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.
.LP
This request overrides all previous passive grabs by the same client
on the same key combinations on the same window.
A modifier of 
.PN AnyModifier 
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 
.PN AnyKey 
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

error results).
.LP
An 
.PN Access 
error is generated if some other client has issued a

with the same key combination on the same window.
When using

and an

However, if the reported event causes the grab to be released,
then the devices do not freeze (but if the other device is still
grabbed, then a subsequent event for it will still cause both devices
to freeze).
.PN SyncBoth 
has no effect unless both pointer and keyboard are frozen by the client.
If the pointer or keyboard is frozen twice by the client on behalf 
of two separate grabs, 
.PN SyncBoth 
thaws for both (but a subsequent freeze for 
.PN SyncBoth 
will only freeze each device once).
.LP
For

event processing for both devices continues normally.
If a device is frozen twice by the client on behalf of two separate grabs,

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
.PN AllowEvents 
releases both.

The draw-direction is just a hint

The core protocol defines no support for vertical text.
.LP
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,

.LP
That is, 
all glyphs in the specified linear or matrix range have the same information,

If all-chars-exist is

then all characters in char-infos have nonzero bounding boxes.
.LP
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.
.LP
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:
.DS
[x + min-bounds.left-side-bearing, y \- max-bounds.ascent]

and a height of:
.DS
max-bounds.ascent + max-bounds.descent
.DE
.LP
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).
.LP
A font is not guaranteed to have any properties.
The interpretation of the property value (for example, INT32, CARD32) 
must be derived from \fIa priori\fP knowledge of the property.
A basic set of font properties is specified in the X.Org
standard \fIX Logical Font Description Conventions\fP.
.LP
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:
.DS
[x + left-side-bearing, y \- ascent]

.LP
with a width of:
.DS
right-side-bearing \- left-side-bearing
.DE
.LP
and a height of:
.DS
ascent + descent
.DE
.LP
and the origin for the next character is defined to be:
.DS
[x + character-width, y]
.DE
.LP
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).
.LP
Note that CHARINFO metric values can be negative.

A nonexistent character is represented with all CHARINFO components
zero.

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.
.LP
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:
.DS
[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)]
.DE
.LP
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
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.

For a line with coincident endpoints (x1=x2, y1=y2), 
when the join-style is applied at one or both endpoints, 
the effect is as if the line was removed from the overall path.
However, if the total path consists of (or is reduced to) a single point 
joined with itself, 
the effect is the same as when the cap-style is applied at both endpoints.

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.
.LP
The tile pixmap must have the same root and depth as the gcontext (or a 
.PN Match 
error results).
The stipple pixmap must have depth one and must have the same root 
as the gcontext (or a 
.PN Match 
error results).
For fill-style 
.PN Stippled 
(but not fill-style 
.PN OpaqueStippled ), 
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

Specifying a value of N here is equivalent to specifying 
the two element list [N, N] in

The value must be nonzero (or a

error results).
The meaning of dash-offset and dashes are explained in the

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 
.PN Match 
error results).
If clip-mask is 
.PN None , 
then pixels are always drawn, regardless of the clip origin.
The clip-mask can also be set with the 
.PN SetClipRectangles 
request.
.LP
For 
.PN ClipByChildren , 
both source and destination windows are additionally clipped by all viewable 
.PN InputOutput 
children.
For
.PN IncludeInferiors , 
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 
.PN IncludeInferiors 
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.
.LP
The fill-rule defines what pixels are inside (that is, are drawn) for
paths given in 
.PN FillPoly 
requests.
.PN EvenOdd 
means a point is inside if an infinite ray with the point as origin crosses 
the path an odd number of times.
For 
.PN Winding , 
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.
.LP
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).

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.

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.

This request sets dash-offset and dashes in gc for dashed line styles.
Dashes cannot be empty (or a 
.PN Value 
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 
.PN Value 
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
For any graphics primitive, the total set of pixels used to render the
primitive (both even and odd numbered dash elements) with
.PN DoubleDash 
line-style is the same as the set of pixels used to render the
primitive with
.PN Solid 
line-style.
.LP
For any graphics primitive, if the primitive is drawn with
.PN OnOffDash 
or
.PN DoubleDash 
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.

This request changes clip-mask in gc to the specified list of rectangles

Output will be clipped to remain contained within the rectangles.
The clip origin is interpreted relative to the origin of

The rectangle coordinates are interpreted relative to the clip origin.
The rectangles should be nonintersecting, or graphics results will be
undefined.

The src-drawable must have the same root as dst-drawable (or a

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 \fIn\fP is the depth of src-drawable (or a 
.PN Value

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
.PN CopyArea 
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 
.PN OpaqueStippled 
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
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
.PN Butt 
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
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:
.DS
skewed-angle = atan(tan(normal-angle) * w/h) + adjust
.DE
.LP
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:
.RS
.TS
l l.
0	for normal-angle in the range [0,PI/2)
PI	for normal-angle in the range [PI/2,(3*PI)/2)
2*PI	for normal-angle in the range [(3*PI)/2,2*PI)
.TE
.RE
.LP
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.
.LP
By specifying one axis to be zero, 
a horizontal or vertical line can be drawn.

Angles are computed based solely on the coordinate system,
ignoring the aspect ratio.

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 
.PN Chord , 
the single line segment joining the endpoints of the arc is used.
For 
.PN PieSlice , 
the two line segments joining the endpoints of the arc with the center point 
are used.
.LP
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.
.LP
The arc angles are interpreted as specified in the
.PN PolyArc 
request.  When
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
.PN Chord 
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
.PN PieSlice 
arc-mode, the computation of
an endpoint only depends on the angle of the arc face for that
endpoint and the ratio of the arc width to arc height.
.LP
The arcs are filled in the order listed.
For any given arc, 
no pixel is drawn more than once.
If regions intersect, 
the intersecting pixels are drawn multiple times.

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 
.PN XYPixmap 
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 
.PN ZPixmap 
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 
.PN None .

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 
.PN Value 
error, as does a zero value for acceleration-denominator.

If the timeout value is zero, 
screen-saver is disabled (but an activated screen-saver is not deactivated).

the screen will simply go blank.
Otherwise,

This request adds or removes the specified host from the access control list.
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.
.LP
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

An initial access control list can usually be specified,
typically by naming a file that the server reads at startup and reset.
.LP
The following address families are defined.
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 
.PN Value 
error.
.LP
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
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.
.LP
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. 
.LP
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.

If the save-set window is unmapped, a

The reparenting leaves unchanged the absolute coordinates

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 
.PN Destroy 
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 
.PN RetainPermanent 
or 
.PN RetainTemporary 
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
.PN PointerRoot .

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
.PN KeyPress 
and 
.PN KeyRelease 
are generated for all keys, even those mapped to modifier bits.
The source of the event is the window the pointer is in.
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.
.LP
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 
.PN None .

This event is only generated by clients using 
.PN SendEvent .
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.

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.
.LP
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.
