## Synopsis

    #include <gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h>

    void                gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init                (Display *display,
                                                             int screen_num);
    void                gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init_with_depth     (Display *display,
                                                             int screen_num,
                                                             int prefDepth);

## Description

In addition to the normal Gdk-specific functions, the &gdk-pixbuf; package provides a small library that lets Xlib-only applications use GdkPixbuf structures and render them to X drawables. The functions in this section are used to initialize the &gdk-pixbuf; Xlib library. This library must be initialized near the beginning of the program or before calling any of the other &gdk-pixbuf; Xlib functions.

## Details

### gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init ()

    void                gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init                (Display *display,
                                                             int screen_num);

Initializes the gdk-pixbuf Xlib machinery by calling `xlib_rgb_init()`. This function should be called near the beginning of your program, or before using any of the gdk-pixbuf-xlib functions.

`display` : | X display to use.
`screen_num` : | Screen number.

### gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init_with_depth ()

    void                gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init_with_depth     (Display *display,
                                                             int screen_num,
                                                             int prefDepth);

Similar to `gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init()`, but also lets you specify the preferred depth for XlibRGB if you do not want it to use the default depth it picks.

`display` : | X display to use.
`screen_num` : | Screen number.
`prefDepth` : | Preferred depth for XlibRGB.
