Detailed Description

This file describes the interface to the client-side libdmx.a library. All DMX-aware client-side applications should include this file.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum DMXInputEnum
 

Enumeration for the #inputType field in the DMXInputAttributes structure.


Function Documentation

Bool DMXAddBackendInput Display *  dpy,
int  screen,
int  sendsCore,
int *  newId
 

Add backend input (a helper function that calls DMXAddInput).

Bool DMXAddConsoleInput Display *  dpy,
const char *  name,
int  sendsCore,
int *  newId
 

Add console input (a helper function that calls DMXAddInput).

Bool DMXAddInput Display *  dpy,
unsigned int  mask,
DMXInputAttributes attr,
int *  id
 

Add input.

Bool DMXAddScreen Display *  dpy,
const char *  displayName,
unsigned int  mask,
DMXScreenAttributes attr,
int *  screen
 

Add a screen.

int DMXChangeDesktopAttributes Display *  dpy,
unsigned int  mask,
DMXDesktopAttributes attr
 

Change the global bounding box and origin offset.

Available in DMX Protocol Version 2.0

int DMXChangeScreensAttributes Display *  dpy,
int  screen_count,
int *  screens,
int  mask_count,
unsigned int *  masks,
DMXScreenAttributes attrs,
int *  error_screen
 

Change geometries and positions of the DMX screen and root windows on the back-end X server.

Bool DMXForceWindowCreation Display *  dpy,
Window  window
 

The creation of the specified window will be forced.

Available in DMX Protocol Version 1.2 Reply added in DMX Protocol Version 2.0

Bool DMXGetDesktopAttributes Display *  dpy,
DMXDesktopAttributes attr
 

If the DMXGetDesktopAttributes protocol request returns information correctly, the information will be placed in attr, and True will be returned. Otherwise, False will be returned.

Available in DMX Protocol Version 2.0

Bool DMXGetInputAttributes Display *  dpy,
int  id,
DMXInputAttributes inf
 

If the DMXGetInputAttributes protocol request returns information about the input device with the specified id, information about the input device will be placed in inf, and True will be returned. Otherwise, False will be returned.

Available in DMX Protocol Version 1.1

Bool DMXGetInputCount Display *  dpy,
int *  input_count
 

If the DMXGetInputCount protocol request returns the input count, the value will be placed in input_count, and True will be returned. Otherwise, False will be returned.

Available in DMX Protocol Version 1.1

Bool DMXGetScreenAttributes Display *  dpy,
int  physical_screen,
DMXScreenAttributes attr
 

If the DMXGetScreenAttributes protocol request returns information for the specified physical_screen, information about the screen will be placed in attr, and True will be returned. Otherwise, False will be returned.

Available in DMX Protocol Version 1.0; Modified in Version 2.0

Bool DMXGetScreenCount Display *  dpy,
int *  screen_count
 

If the DMXGetScreenCount protocol request returns the screen count, the value will be placed in screen_count, and True will be returned. Otherwise, False will be returned.

Available in DMX Protocol Version 1.0

Bool DMXGetWindowAttributes Display *  dpy,
Window  window,
int *  screen_count,
int  available_count,
DMXWindowAttributes inf
 

If the DMXGetWindowAttributes protocol request returns information about the specified window, the number of screens for which information is available will be returned in screen_count and information about the first available_count of those screens will be placed in inf. Because this call transports a great deal of information over the wire, please call DMXGetScreenCount first, and make sure inf is that large.

Note that if the specified window has not yet been mapped when DMXGetWindowAttributes is called, then a subsequent XMapWindow call might be buffered in xlib while requests directly to the back-end X servers are processed. This race condition can be solved by calling DMXSync before talking directly to the back-end X servers.

Available in DMX Protocol Version 1.0, but not working correctly until DMX Protocol Version 1.4

_XFUNCPROTOBEGIN Bool DMXQueryExtension Display *  dpy,
int *  event_basep,
int *  error_basep
 

If the server has the DMX extension, the event and error bases will be placed in event_basep and error_basep, and True will be returned. Otherwise, False will be returned.

Available in DMX Protocol Version 1.0

Bool DMXQueryVersion Display *  dpy,
int *  majorVersion,
int *  minorVersion,
int *  patchVersion
 

If the DMXQueryVersion protocol request returns version information from the server, majorVersion, minorVersion, and patchVersion are filled in with the appropriate information and True is returned. Otherwise, False will be returned.

Available in DMX Protocol Version 1.0

Bool DMXRemoveInput Display *  dpy,
int  id
 

Remove an input.

Bool DMXRemoveScreen Display *  dpy,
int  screen
 

Remove a screen.

Bool DMXSync Display *  dpy  ) 
 

Flush all pending dmxSync requests in DMX server.

Available in DMX Protocol Version 1.5
