I'm trying to create server-side RGBA pixmap from client side buffer. CreatePixmap & CreateImage work ok for 32 and 24 bit, but XPutImage result in Match Error returned by server
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 72 (X_PutImage)
Serial number of failed request: 8
Current serial number in output stream: 8
server does support 32 bit pixmaps (xdpyinfo output: https://gist.github.com/2582961). Same behaviour on ubuntu 12.04 (X.Org version: 1.11.3) and OSX with X.app (X.Org version: 1.10.3)
Why following code fails?
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int width = 100;
int height = 100;
int depth = 32; // works fine with depth = 24
int bitmap_pad = 32; // 32 for 24 and 32 bpp, 16, for 15&16
int bytes_per_line = 0; // number of bytes in the client image between the start of one scanline and the start of the next
Display *display=XOpenDisplay(0);
unsigned char *image32=(unsigned char *)malloc(width*height*4);
XImage *img = XCreateImage(display, CopyFromParent, depth, ZPixmap, 0, image32, width, height, bitmap_pad, bytes_per_line);
Pixmap p = XCreatePixmap(display, XDefaultRootWindow(display), width, height, depth);
XPutImage(display, p, DefaultGC(display, 0), img, 0, 0, 0, 0, width, height); // 0, 0, 0, 0 are src x,y and dst x,y
XEvent ev;
while (1) {
XNextEvent(display, &ev);
}
}
Update: It looks like I finally got answer: use GC associated with pixmap instead of DefaultGC (which has depth of root window)
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int width = 100;
int height = 100;
int depth = 32; // works fine with depth = 24
int bitmap_pad = 32; // 32 for 24 and 32 bpp, 16, for 15&16
int bytes_per_line = 0; // number of bytes in the client image between the start of one scanline and the start of the next
Display *display=XOpenDisplay(0);
unsigned char *image32=(unsigned char *)malloc(width*height*4);
XImage *img = XCreateImage(display, CopyFromParent, depth, ZPixmap, 0, image32, width, height, bitmap_pad, bytes_per_line);
Pixmap p = XCreatePixmap(display, XDefaultRootWindow(display), width, height, depth);
XGCValues gcvalues;
GC gc = XCreateGC(display, p, 0, &gcvalues);
XPutImage(display, p, gc, img, 0, 0, 0, 0, width, height); // 0, 0, 0, 0 are src x,y and dst x,y
XEvent ev;
while (1) {
XNextEvent(display, &ev);
}
}
The problem is with DefaultGC()
which return a GC with bit depth of system default screen. If you look at line 53 of your gist paste you see that this is 24:
depth of root window: 24 planes
On line 63 you see that it uses 0x22 as default which is shown in more detail in line 64 to 70:
visual:
visual id: 0x22
class: TrueColor
depth: 24 planes
available colormap entries: 256 per subfield
red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff
significant bits in color specification: 8 bits
You could probably do this a bit nicer but as a start you can try this:
Note: This uses system visuals so most probably only support depth of 24 or 32.

Well, your code works for 32 bits images if you just create a GC passing a drawable on argument which is 32 bits. XCreateGC(dpy, drawable, 0, 0), where drawable can be a pixmap with 32 bits depth. It works perfect with me.
