ARGUMENTS

       d         Specifies the drawable.

       dest_image
                 Specifies the destination image.  and are the coordinates of
                 the subimage or which are relative to the origin of the des-
                 tination rectangle, specify its upper-left corner, and deter-
                 mine where the subimage is placed in the destination image

       dest_x
       dest_y    Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the
                 origin of the drawable.

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       format    Specifies the format for the image.  You can pass XYPixmap or
                 ZPixmap.

       gc        Specifies the GC.

       image     Specifies the image you want combined with the rectangle.

       plane_mask
                 Specifies the plane mask.

       src_x     Specifies the offset in X from the left edge of the image
                 defined by the XImage structure.

       src_y     Specifies the offset in Y from the top edge of the image
                 defined by the XImage structure.

       width
       height    Specify the width and height of the subimage, which define
                 the dimensions of the rectangle.  and define the upper-left
                 corner of the rectangle

       x
       y         Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the
                 origin of the drawable.

       makes the appropriate conversions.

       This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, subwin-
       dow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.  It also uses
       these GC mode-dependent components: foreground and background.

       XPutImage can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue
       errors.

       The XGetImage function returns a pointer to an XImage structure.  This
       structure provides you with the contents of the specified rectangle of
       the drawable in the format you specify.  If the format argument is XYP-
       ixmap, the image contains only the bit planes you passed to the
       plane_mask argument.  If the plane_mask argument only requests a subset
       of the planes of the display, the depth of the returned image will be
       the number of planes requested.  If the format argument is ZPixmap,
       XGetImage returns as zero the bits in all planes not specified in the
       plane_mask argument.  The function performs no range checking on the
       values in plane_mask and ignores extraneous bits.

       XGetImage returns the depth of the image to the depth member of the
       XImage structure.  The depth of the image is as specified when the
       drawable was created, except when getting a subset of the planes in
       XYPixmap format, when the depth is given by the number of bits set to 1
       in plane_mask.

       If the drawable is a pixmap, the given rectangle must be wholly con-
       tained within the pixmap, or a BadMatch error results.  If the drawable
       is a window, the window must be viewable, and it must be the case that
       if there were no inferiors or overlapping windows, the specified rec-
       tangle of the window would be fully visible on the screen and wholly
       contained within the outside edges of the window, or a BadMatch error
       results.  Note that the borders of the window can be included and read
       with this request.  If the window has backing-store, the backing-store
       contents are returned for regions of the window that are obscured by
       noninferior windows.  If the window does not have backing-store, the
       returned contents of such obscured regions are undefined.  The returned
       contents of visible regions of inferiors of a different depth than the
       specified window's depth are also undefined.  The pointer cursor image
       is not included in the returned contents.  If a problem occurs, XGetIm-
       age returns NULL.

       XGetImage can generate BadDrawable, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.

       The XGetSubImage function updates dest_image with the specified subim-
       age in the same manner as XGetImage.  If the format argument is XYP-
       ixmap, the image contains only the bit planes you passed to the
       plane_mask argument.  If the format argument is ZPixmap, XGetSubImage
       returns as zero the bits in all planes not specified in the plane_mask
       argument.  The function performs no range checking on the values in
       plane_mask and ignores extraneous bits.  As a convenience, XGetSubImage
       returns a pointer to the same XImage structure specified by dest_image.
       The returned contents of visible regions of inferiors of a different
       depth than the specified window's depth are also undefined.  If a prob-
       lem occurs, XGetSubImage returns NULL.

       XGetSubImage can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue
       errors.


DIAGNOSTICS

       BadDrawable
                 A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Win-
                 dow or Pixmap.

       BadGC     A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GCon-
                 text.

       BadMatch  An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.

       BadMatch  Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and
                 range but fails to match in some other way required by the
                 request.

       BadValue  Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted
                 by the request.  Unless a specific range is specified for an
                 argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is
                 accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can
                 generate this error.
