The reader are referred to other sources of X documentation for details, e.g. the X protocol specification, the C Xlib documentation or man pages.

Methods which does not return any value have instead an <CODE>on_error</CODE> parameter, which can be used to specify an error handler. <UL> <LI><A HREF="python-xlib_16.html#SEC15">Display</A>: Methods on Display objects. <LI><A HREF="python-xlib_17.html#SEC16">Resource</A>: Methods common to all the following resource objects. <LI><A HREF="python-xlib_18.html#SEC17">Colormap</A>: Methods on Colormap objects. <LI><A HREF="python-xlib_19.html#SEC18">Cursor</A>: Methods on Cursor objects. <LI><A HREF="python-xlib_20.html#SEC19">Drawable</A>: Methods common to Window and Pixmap objects. <LI><A HREF="python-xlib_21.html#SEC20">Window</A>: Methods on Window objects. <LI><A HREF="python-xlib_22.html#SEC21">Pixmap</A>: Methods on Pixmap objects. <LI><A HREF="python-xlib_23.html#SEC22">Fontable</A>: Methods common to GC and Font objects. <LI><A HREF="python-xlib_24.html#SEC23">GC</A>: Methods on GC objects. <LI><A HREF="python-xlib_25.html#SEC24">Font</A>: Methods on Font objects. </UL> <P><HR><P> Go to the <A HREF="python-xlib_1.html">first</A>, <A HREF="python-xlib_14.html">previous</A>, <A HREF="python-xlib_16.html">next</A>, <A HREF="python-xlib_25.html">last</A> section, <A HREF="python-xlib_toc.html">table of contents</A>. </BODY> </HTML>
