File: .../x11/server/dix/BuiltInAtoms
This file is of a fixed format and is used to generate both the file
include/XAtom.h and dix/initatoms.c. Neither of those files should be
edited directly. Changing the atoms in this file, or even the order in
which they occur, is equivalent to forcing a new (minor) version number
on the server. Take care.
The format of the file is that each built in atom starts in column 1
with no text, other than spaces and tabs, on that line other than a
mandatory trailing "@" at the end of the line. For each atom (Foo)
below the defines will be of the form
#define XA_Foo <n>
and the string value of the atom will be "Foo".
The comment lines in this file are not guaranteed to be accurate. To see the
current truth, look at the Xlib documentation as well as the protocol spec.
Atoms occur in five distinct name spaces within the protocol. Any particular
atom may or may not have some client interpretation within each of the name
spaces. For each of the built in atoms, the intended semantics and the space
within which it is defined is indicated.
Those name spaces are

Property name: (type: STRING)
Used to implement cut buffer ring, in particular Andrew uses
this mechanism. Anyone else using this sort of IPC mechanism
should use these properties.
Data is normally fetched and stored out of CUT_BUFFER0; the
RotateProperties request is used to rotate these buffers.

RESOURCE_MANAGER @
Property name: (type: STRING)
Contents of the user's resource manager data base.
RGB_COLOR_MAP @
Property type:
colormap: COLORMAP
red-max: CARD32
red-mult: CARD32
green-max: CARD32
green-mult: CARD32
blue-max: CARD32
blue-mult: CARD32
base-pixel: CARD32
The fields `red_max', `green_max', and `blue_max' give the maximum
red, green, and blue values, respectively. Each color
coefficient ranges from 0 to its max, inclusive. For example,
a common colormap allocation is 3/3/2: 3 planes for red, 3
planes for green, and 2 planes for blue. Such a colormap would
have red_max == 7, green_max = 7, and blue_max = 3. An alternate
allocation that uses only 216 colors is red_max = 5, green_max =
5, and blue_max = 5.
The fields `red_mult', `green_mult', and `blue_mult' give the
scale factors used to compose a full pixel value. (See next
paragraph.) For a 3/3/2 allocation red_mult might be 32,
green_mult might be 4, and blue_mult might be 1. For a
6-colors-each allocation, red_mult might be 36, green_mult might
be 6, and blue_mult might be 1.
The field `base_pixel' gives the base pixel value used to
compose a full pixel value. Normally base_pixel is obtained
from a call to XAllocColorPlanes(). Given integer red, green,
and blue coefficients in their appropriate ranges, one can
compute a corresponding pixel value with the expression:
r * red_mult + g * green_mult + b * blue_mult + base_pixel
For gray-scale colormaps, only the colormap, red_max, red_mult,
and base_pixel fields are defined; the other fields are
ignored. To compute a gray-scale pixel value, use:
gray * red_mult + base_pixel
This is provided to allow applications to share color maps.
RGB_BEST_MAP @
RGB_BLUE_MAP @
RGB_DEFAULT_MAP @
RGB_GRAY_MAP @
RGB_GREEN_MAP @
RGB_RED_MAP @
Property name: (type: RGB_COLOR_MAP)
The needs of most applications can be met with five colormaps.
Polite applications may need only a small RGB space, and can
use a portion of the default color map. Applications doing
high-quality RGB rendering will need an entire colormap,
filled with as large an RGB space as possible, e.g. 332. For
color separations, an application may need maximum device
resolution for each of red, green, and blue, even if this
requires three renderings with three colormaps.
Each of the above five names would be used for sharing color
maps.

itself to be seldomly used. WM may wish to
place it on an inactive menu.

append to the end only.

The following optional properties on fonts have values that are atoms. The
atom print name is the useful information.
COPYRIGHT @
of the font distribution
NOTICE @
trademark/copyright of the character shapes
FONT_NAME @
name of this particular instance of a font
FAMILY_NAME @
name of the 'font family' to which it belongs
FULL_NAME @
full text name of the font
The following aren't in order but putting them at the end avoids encoding
changes.
CAP_HEIGHT @
Font property: CARD32
WM_CLASS @
Property name: (type: STRING)
Used (possibly by some window managers; definitely by
session managers) to look up resources in the resource
data base on behalf of the client who set this property.
There are 2 elements:
{char *resource_name; char *resource_class;}
delimited by a null character (ascii 0)
WM_TRANSIENT_FOR @
Property name: (type: WINDOW)
Used by transient top-level windows, such as dialog
boxes, to point to their logical "parents". The window
manager can then take down the dialog boxes when the
"parent" gets iconified, for instance.
