<refsect1 id='description'><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>The
<emphasis remap='I'>&hairsp;XCreateOC&hairsp;</emphasis>
function creates an output context within the specified output method.</para>

<para>The base font names argument is mandatory at creation time, and
the output context will not be created unless it is provided.
All other output context values can be set later.</para>

<para><emphasis remap='I'>&hairsp;XCreateOC&hairsp;</emphasis>
returns NULL if no output context could be created.
NULL can be returned for any of the following reasons:</para>
<itemizedlist remap='IP+bullet'>
  <listitem override='bullet'>
<para>A required argument was not set.</para>
  </listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<itemizedlist remap='IP+bullet'>

<para>A read-only argument was set.</para>

<itemizedlist remap='IP+bullet'>
  <listitem override='bullet'>
<para>The output method encountered an output method implementation-dependent error.</para>
  </listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<para>The
<emphasis remap='I'>&hairsp;XDestroyOC&hairsp;</emphasis>
function destroys the specified output context.</para>

<para>The
<emphasis remap='I'>&hairsp;XSetOCValues&hairsp;</emphasis>
function returns NULL if no error occurred; 
otherwise,
it returns the name of the first argument that could not be set.
An argument might not be set for any of the following reasons:</para>
<itemizedlist remap='IP+bullet'>
  <listitem override='bullet'>
<para>The argument is read-only.</para>
  </listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<itemizedlist remap='IP+bullet'>
  <listitem override='bullet'>
<para>The argument name is not recognized.</para>
  </listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<itemizedlist remap='IP+bullet'>
  <listitem override='bullet'>
<para>An implementation-dependent error occurs.</para>
  </listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<para>Each value to be set must be an appropriate datum,
matching the data type imposed by the semantics of the argument.</para>

<para>The
<emphasis remap='I'>&hairsp;XGetOCValues&hairsp;</emphasis>
function returns NULL if no error occurred; otherwise,
it returns the name of the first argument that could not be obtained.
An argument might not be obtained for any of the following reasons:</para>
<itemizedlist remap='IP+bullet'>
  <listitem override='bullet'>
<para>The argument name is not recognized.</para>
  </listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<itemizedlist remap='IP+bullet'>

<para>An implementation-dependent error occurs.</para>
  </listitem>

<para>Each argument value
following a name must point to a location where the value is to be stored.</para>

<para>The
<emphasis remap='I'>&hairsp;XOMOfOC&hairsp;</emphasis>
function returns the output method associated with the
specified output context.</para>
