1306.0. "Help with GC identifier" by ANNECY::SIRON () Mon Aug 21 1989 05:08


            To create a new graphics context, we have to specify
          values in a "GC values data structure" and then call
          the XCreateGC routine, which returns an identifier.
            Is there a way, with this identifier, to know whose
          values were specified in the structure?

            Any help welcome. Thanks.

    I don't think so. But I'm curious: can't you just remember what you
    did?

    No.
    
    GC values are passed to the server and there is no way to get them back.
    If you want to know the state of the GC, your program must maintain it.
