Hello!
I'm currently developing a preliminary object orientated framework for
Graphical Input Output (GIO) based on a concurrent native implementation
of the X protocol in Scheme (SCA/X).
The early pixmap support fails for the /GetImage/ and /PutImage/
requests: /GetImage/ provokes and /undefined/ error from the X server
where /PutImage/ always seems to result in a match error. My question to
the experienced ones: what are the prerequisites especially for
/PutImage/? Is it the X security extensions, the big request extension,
the shared memory extension, the render extension or some other "magic"
again? (Currently the only extension implemented is the X keyboard
extension.)
Maybe some extension provides better means to achieve the following task
which serves as an example to guide development of GIO and SCA/X:
1) a matrix of exact color vectors is converted to a pixel array
(should equal Zpixmap) and it should be displayed in a window.
2) X server / hardware drawing routines should be used on an image /
pixmap which should then be retrieved to be further processed by the
client's exact / double precision color routines or to be stored in a
file or similar
I hope there's an easy answer similar to the case of the keyboard
mappings where the server just didn't respond to the core protocol
request anymore. Since the implementation of the X keyboard extension
those mappings work and the core protocol request isn't needed anymore.
The current request arguments used are the following (/depth/
and/left-pad/ are hardcoded in the early prototype but do match the
visual type and the protocol specifications):
(xrp-put-image:set-format! rb (byte->byte-string 2)) ; 0
bitmap 1 xypixmap 2 zpixmap
(xrp-put-image:set-depth! rb (byte->byte-string 8))
(xrp-put-image:set-left-pad! rb (byte->byte-string 0)) ; 0 for
zpixmap pp.55
(xrp-put-image:set-drawable! rb drawable)
(xrp-put-image:set-gc! rb gc)
(xrp-put-image:set-dst-x! rb (number+sign->byte-string-2 dst-x))
(xrp-put-image:set-dst-y! rb (number+sign->byte-string-2 dst-y))
(xrp-put-image:set-width! rb (number->byte-string-2 width))
(xrp-put-image:set-height! rb (number->byte-string-2 height))
(xrp-put-image:set-request-length! rb (number->byte-string-2 (/ (+ rl
(byte-string-length pad)) 4)))
(X-request connection (byte-string-adjoin rb pixel pad) no-response)
No matter how the window, the pixmap and the graphics context are
associated this request currently always results in a match error event.
Regards,
Michael
