Tk_SetWindowVisual(3) Tk Library Procedures Tk_SetWindowVisual(3)______________________________________________________________________________NAMETk_SetWindowVisual - change visual characteristics of window
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
int
Tk_SetWindowVisual(tkwin, visual, depth, colormap)
ARGUMENTS
Tk_Window tkwin (in) Token for window.

_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
When Tk creates a new window it assigns it the default visual charac-
teristics (visual, depth, and colormap) for its screen. Tk_SetWin-
dowVisual may be called to change them. Tk_SetWindowVisual must be
called before the window has actually been created in X (e.g. before
Tk_MapWindow or Tk_MakeWindowExist has been invoked for the window).
The safest thing is to call Tk_SetWindowVisual immediately after call-
ing Tk_CreateWindow. If tkwin has already been created before
Tk_SetWindowVisual is called then it returns 0 and doesn't make any
changes; otherwise it returns 1 to signify that the operation com-
pleted successfully.
Note: Tk_SetWindowVisual should not be called if you just want to
change a window's colormap without changing its visual or depth; call
Tk_SetWindowColormap instead.
