ARGUMENTS

       class     Specifies the class of the screen.

       depth     Specifies the depth of the screen.

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       nitems_return
                 Returns the number of matching visual struc-
                 tures.

       screen    Specifies the screen.

       visual    Specifies the visual type.

       vinfo_mask
                 Specifies the visual mask value.

       vinfo_return
                 Returns the matched visual information.

       vinfo_template
                 Specifies the visual attributes that are to be
                 used in matching the visual structures.


DESCRIPTION

       The XGetVisualInfo function returns a list of visual
       structures that have attributes equal to the attributes
       specified by vinfo_template.  If no visual structures
       the specified visual type.

       The XVisualInfo structure contains:
