I'm currently developing a preliminary object orientated framework for Graphical Input Output (GIO) based on a concurrent native implementation of the X protocol in Scheme (SCA/X). The early pixmap support fails for the GetImage and PutImage requests: GetImage provokes and undefined error from the X server where PutImage always seems to result in a match error. My question to the experienced ones: what are the prerequisites especially for PutImage? Is it the X security extensions, the big request extension, the shared memory extension, the render extension or some other "magic" again? (Currently the only extension implemented is the X keyboard extension.) Maybe some extension provides better means to achieve the following task which serves as an example to guide development of GIO and SCA/X: 1) a matrix of exact color vectors is converted to a pixel array (should equal Zpixmap) and it should be displayed in a window. 2) X server / hardware drawing routines should be used on an image / pixmap which should then be retrieved to be further processed by the client's exact / double precision color routines or to be stored in a file or similar I hope there's an easy answer similar to the case of the keyboard mappings where the server just didn't respond to the core protocol request anymore. Since the implementation of the X keyboard extension those mappings work and the core protocol request isn't needed anymore. The current request arguments used are the following (depth and left-pad are hardcoded in the early prototype but do match the visual type and the protocol specifications): (xrp-put-image:set-format! rb (byte->byte-string 2)) ; 0 bitmap 1 xypixmap 2 zpixmap (xrp-put-image:set-depth! rb (byte->byte-string 8)) (xrp-put-image:set-left-pad! rb (byte->byte-string 0)) ; 0 for zpixmap pp.55 (xrp-put-image:set-drawable! rb drawable) (xrp-put-image:set-gc! rb gc) (xrp-put-image:set-dst-x! rb (number+sign->byte-string-2 dst-x)) (xrp-put-image:set-dst-y! rb (number+sign->byte-string-2 dst-y)) (xrp-put-image:set-width! rb (number->byte-string-2 width)) (xrp-put-image:set-height! rb (number->byte-string-2 height)) (xrp-put-image:set-request-length! rb (number->byte-string-2 (/ (+ rl (byte-string-length pad)) 4))) (X-request connection (byte-string-adjoin rb pixel pad) no-response) No matter how the window, the pixmap and the graphics context are associated this request currently always results in a match error event.
