NAME XmInstallImage --A pixmap caching function that adds an image to the pixmap cache SYNOPSIS #include <Xm/Xm.h> Boolean XmInstallImage (image, image_name) XImage * image; char * image_name; VERSION This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library. DESCRIPTION XmInstallImage stores an image in an image cache that can later be used to generate a pixmap. Part of the installation process is to extend the re- source converter used to reference these images. The resource converter is given the image name so that the image can be referenced in a .Xdefaults file. Since an image can be referenced by a widget through its pixmap re- sources, it is up to the application to ensure that the image is installed before the widget is created. image Points to the image structure to be installed. The installation process does not make a local copy of the image. Therefore, the application should not destroy the image until it is uninstalled from the caching functions. image_nameSpecifies a string that the application uses to name the image. After installation, this name can be used in .Xdefaults for ref- erencing the image. A local copy of the name is created by the image caching functions. The image caching functions provide a set of eight preinstalled images. These names can be used within a .Xdefaults file for generating pixmaps for the resource for which they are provided.
