The complete set of display attributes is discussed in the following paragraphs.
| display-authorization-data | display | Function |
Returns the authorization data string for display that was transmitted to the server by open-display during connection setup. The data is specific to the particular authorization protocol that was used. The display-authorization-name function returns the protocol used.
|
| display-authorization-name | display | Function |
Returns the authorization protocol namestring for display that was transmitted by open-display to the server during connection setup. The authorization-name indicates what authorization protocol the client expects the server to use. Specification of valid authorization mechanisms is not part of the X protocol. A server that implements a different protocol than the client expects, or a server that only implements the host-based mechanism, can simply ignore this information. If both name and data strings are empty, this is to be interpreted as "no explicit authorization."

| display-bitmap-format | display | Function |
|
| display-byte-order | display | Function |
|
| display-display | display | Function |
|
| display-error-handler | display | Function |
Returns and (with setf) sets the error-handler function for the given display. CLX calls (one of) the display error handler functions to handle server errors returned to the connection. The default error handler, default-error-handler, signals conditions as they occur. See Section 16, Errors, for a list of the conditions that CLX can signal. For more information about errors and error handling, refer to the section entitled Common Lisp Condition System in the Lisp Reference manual. If the value of error-handler is a sequence, it is expected to contain a handler function for each specific error. The error code is used as an index into the sequence to fetch the appropriate handler function. If this element is a function, it is called for all errors. Any results returned by the handler are ignored since it is assumed the handler either takes care of the error completely or else signals. The arguments passed to the handler function are the display object, a symbol naming the type of error, and a set of keyword-value argument pairs that vary depending on the type of error. For all core errors, the keyword-value argument pairs are:
For colormap, cursor, drawable, font, gcontext, id-choice, pixmap , and window errors, the keyword-value pairs are the core error pairs plus:
For :atom errors, the keyword-value pairs are the core error pairs plus:
For :value errors, the keyword-value pairs are the core error pairs plus:

| display-image-lsb-first-p | display | Function |
Although the server is generally responsible for byte swapping communication data to match the client, images (pixmaps/bitmaps) are always transmitted and received in formats (including byte order) specified by the server. Within images for each scan-line unit in bitmaps or for each pixel value in pixmaps, the leftmost bit in the image as displayed on the screen is either the least or most significant bit in the unit. For the given display, display-image-lsb-first-p returns non-nil if the leftmost bit is the least significant bit; otherwise, it returns nil.
|
| display-keycode-range | display | Function |
Returns min-keycode and max-keycode as multiple values. See the display-max-keycode and display-min-keycode functions for additional information.
|
| display-max-keycode | display | Function |
Returns the maximum keycode value for the specified display . This value is never greater than 255. Not all keycodes in the allowed range are required to have corresponding keys.
|
| display-max-request-length | display | Function |
Returns the maximum length of a request, in four-byte units, that is accepted by the specified display. Requests larger than this generate a length error, and the server will read and simply discard the entire request. This length is always at least 4096 (that is, requests of length up to and including 16384 bytes are accepted by all servers).
|
| display-min-keycode | display | Function |
Returns the minimum keycode value for the specified display . This value is never less than eight. Not all keycodes in the allowed range are required to have corresponding keys.
|
| display-motion-buffer-size | display | Function |
Returns the approximate size of the motion buffer for the specified display. The server can retain the recent history of pointer motion at a finer granularity than is reported by :motion-notify events. Such history is available through the motion-events function.
|
| display-p | display | Function |
|
Returns non-nil if display is a display object; otherwise, returns nil.
|
| display-pixmap-formats | display | Function |
Returns the list of pixmap-format values for the given display. This list contains one entry for each depth value. The entry describes the format used to represent images of that depth. An entry for a depth is included if any screen supports that depth, and all screens supporting that depth must support (only) the format for that depth.
|
| display-plist | display | Function |
Returns and (with setf) sets the property list for the specified display. This function provides a hook where extensions can add data.
|
| display-protocol-major-version | display | Function |
Returns the major version number of the X protocol associated with the specified display. In general, the major version would increment for incompatible changes. The returned protocol version number indicates the protocol the server actually supports. This might not equal the version supported by the client. The server can (but need not) refuse connections from clients that offer a different version than the server supports. A server can (but need not) support more than one version simultaneously.
|
| display-protocol-minor-version | display | Function |
Returns the minor protocol revision number associated with the specified display. In general, the minor version would increment for small upward compatible changes in the X protocol.
|
| display-protocol-version | display | Function |
Returns protocol-major-version and protocol-minor-version as multiple values. See the display-protocol-major-version and display-protocol-minor-version functions for additional information.
|
| display-resource-id-base | display | Function |
Returns the resource-id-base value that was returned from the server during connection setup for the specified display. This is used in combination with the resource-id-mask to construct valid IDs for this connection.
|
| display-resource-id-mask | display | Function |
Returns the resource-id-mask that was returned from the server during connection setup for the specified display . The resource-id-mask contains a single contiguous set of bits (at least 18) which the client uses to allocate resource IDs for types window, pixmap , cursor , font, gcontext, and colormap by choosing a value with (only) some subset of these bits set, and oring it with the resource-id-base. Only values constructed in this way can be used to name newly created server resources over this connection. Server resource IDs never have the top three bits set. The client is not restricted to linear or contiguous allocation of server resource IDs. Once an ID has been freed, it can be reused, but this should not be necessary. An ID must be unique with respect to the IDs of all other server resources, not just other server resources of the same type. However, note that the value spaces of server resource identifiers, atoms, visualids, and keysyms are distinguished by context, and as such are not required to be disjoint (for example, a given numeric value might be both a valid window ID, a valid atom, and a valid keysym.)
|
| display-roots | display | Function |
Returns a list of all the screen structures available for the given display .
|
| display-vendor | display | Function |
Returns vendor-name and release-number as multiple values. See the display-vendor-name and display-release-number functions for additional information.
|
| display-vendor-name | display | Function |
Returns a string that provides some vendor identification of the X server implementation associated with the specified display.
|
| display-version-number | display | Function |
Returns the X protocol version number for this implementation of CLX.
|
| display-xid | display | Function |
Returns the function that is used to allocate server resource IDs for this display.
|
| with-display | display &body body | Macro |
This macro is for use in a multi-process environment. with-display provides exclusive access to the local display object for multiple request generation. It need not provide immediate exclusive access for replies. That is, if another process is waiting for a reply (while not in a with-display ), then synchronization need not (but can) occur immediately. Except where noted, all routines effectively contain an implicit with-display where needed, so that correct synchronization is always provided at the interface level on a per-call basis. Nested uses of this macro work correctly. This macro does not prevent concurrent event processing (see with-event-queue). |
