XVisualInfo *XGetVisualInfo(Display *display, long vinfo_mask, XVisualInfo *vinfo_template, int *nitems_return);
Status XMatchVisualInfo(Display *display, int screen, int depth, int class, XVisualInfo *vinfo_return);
VisualID XVisualIDFromVisual(Visual *visual);
The XMatchVisualInfo function returns the visual information for a visual that matches the specified depth and class for a screen. Because multiple visuals that match the specified depth and class can exist, the exact visual chosen is undefined. If a visual is found, XMatchVisualInfo returns nonzero and the information on the visual to vinfo_return. Otherwise, when a visual is not found, XMatchVisualInfo returns zero.
The XVisualIDFromVisual function returns the visual ID for the specified visual type.
