ate a window with a bit depth of 32

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3645632/how-to-create-a-window-with-a-bit-depth-of-32

加入关于visual相关的操作后不能编译，因为用到了class关键词，最终换成testwindow.c文件gcc testwindow.c  -o  testwindow  -I/usr/X11R6/include   -L/usr/X11R6/lib   -lX11 -lXcomposite -lXdamage -lXfixes -lXrender编译成功

但运行报错

[root@localhost usb]# ./testwindow

解决问题的办法

The problem is this code in the X server http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/dix/window.c#n615

  if (((vmask & (CWBorderPixmap | CWBorderPixel)) == 0) &&
    (class != InputOnly) &&
    (depth != pParent->drawable.depth))
    {
    *error = BadMatch;
    return NullWindow;
    }

i.e. "if depth isn't same as parent depth you have to set the border pixel or pixmap"

Here is a whole example

#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
#include <X11/extensions/Xcomposite.h>

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  Display *dpy;
  XVisualInfo vinfo;
  int depth;
  XVisualInfo *visual_list;
  XVisualInfo visual_template;
  int nxvisuals;
  int i;
  XSetWindowAttributes attrs;
  Window parent;
  Visual *visual;

  dpy = XOpenDisplay(NULL);

  nxvisuals = 0;
  visual_template.screen = DefaultScreen(dpy);
  visual_list = XGetVisualInfo (dpy, VisualScreenMask, &visual_template, &nxvisuals);

  for (i = 0; i < nxvisuals; ++i)
    {
      printf("  %3d: visual 0x%lx class %d (%s) depth %d\n",
             i,
             visual_list[i].visualid,
             visual_list[i].class,
             visual_list[i].class == TrueColor ? "TrueColor" : "unknown",
             visual_list[i].depth);
    }

  if (!XMatchVisualInfo(dpy, XDefaultScreen(dpy), 32, TrueColor, &vinfo))
    {
      fprintf(stderr, "no such visual\n");
      return 1;
    }

  printf("Matched visual 0x%lx class %d (%s) depth %d\n",
         vinfo.visualid,
         vinfo.class,
         vinfo.class == TrueColor ? "TrueColor" : "unknown",
         vinfo.depth);

  parent = XDefaultRootWindow(dpy);

  XSync(dpy, True);

  printf("creating RGBA child\n");

  visual = vinfo.visual;
  depth = vinfo.depth;

  attrs.colormap = XCreateColormap(dpy, XDefaultRootWindow(dpy), visual, AllocNone);
  attrs.background_pixel = 0;
  attrs.border_pixel = 0;

  XCreateWindow(dpy, parent, 10, 10, 150, 100, 0, depth, InputOutput,
                visual, CWBackPixel | CWColormap | CWBorderPixel, &attrs);

  XSync(dpy, True);

  printf("No error\n");

  return 0;
}

据此修改出自己的代码testwindow05-31-2.c

  nxvisuals = 0;
  visual_template.screen = DefaultScreen(dpy);
  visual_list = XGetVisualInfo (dpy, VisualScreenMask, &visual_template, &nxvisuals);

  for (i = 0; i < nxvisuals; ++i)
    {
      printf("  %3d: visual 0x%lx class %d (%s) depth %d\n",

             visual_list[i].class,
             visual_list[i].class == TrueColor ? "TrueColor" : "unknown",
             visual_list[i].depth);
    }

  if (!XMatchVisualInfo(dpy, XDefaultScreen(dpy), 32, TrueColor, &vinfo))
    {
      fprintf(stderr, "no such visual\n");
      return 1;
    }

  parent = XDefaultRootWindow(dpy);

  XSync(dpy, True);

  printf("creating RGBA child\n");

  visual = vinfo.visual;
  depth = vinfo.depth;

  attrs.colormap = XCreateColormap(dpy, XDefaultRootWindow(dpy), visual, AllocNone);
  attrs.background_pixel = 0;
  attrs.border_pixel = 0;

  w = XCreateWindow(dpy, parent, 10, 10, 150, 100, 0, depth, InputOutput,

  XSync(dpy, True);
  //licl2012-05-31
  XSelectInput(dpy, w, ExposureMask | KeyPressMask);
    printf(" select  events ok\n");
        /* map (show) the window */
        XMapWindow(dpy, w);
    printf(" XMapWindow ok\n");
    
        while(1)
        {
                XNextEvent(dpy, &e);
                /* draw or redraw the window */
                if(e.type == Expose)
                {
                        //XFillRectangle(dpy, w, DefaultGC(dpy, s), 10, 10, 100, 100);
                }
                /* exit on key press */
                //licl2012-05-30if(e.type == KeyPress)
                //licl2012-05-30        break;
        }

        /* close connection to server */
        XCloseDisplay(dpy);

  printf("No error\n");

  return 0;
}

成功创建一个透明的窗口，窗口管理器识别，可切换

下一步希望给窗口整图像，做透明
