X11::AtomConstants(3) predefined X11 atoms

SYNOPSIS


use X11::AtomConstants;
$X->ChangeProperty($window,
X11::AtomConstants::WM_NAME, # property
X11::AtomConstants::PIXMAP, # type
8, # format
'Replace',
'My Window Title');

DESCRIPTION

This is the X11 pre-defined atoms as Perl constants. For example "PIXMAP" is 20, the PIXMAP atom. 

    my $atom_id = X11::AtomConstants::PIXMAP;  # $atom_id is 20
    my $name = $X->GetAtomName($atom_id);      # $name is "PIXMAP"

The "LAST_PREDEFINED" constant is not an atom as such, but the last of the predefined values, which happens to be "WM_TRANSIENT_FOR".

EXPORTS

Nothing is exported by default, but the constants can be requested in usual "Exporter" style, 

    use X11::AtomConstants 'PIXMAP';
    blah (atom => PIXMAP);

The ":all" tag imports everything, 

    use X11::AtomConstants ':all';
    blah (atom1 => POINT,
          atom2 => RECTANGLE);

Many atoms like "STRING" or "WEIGHT" have rather generic names and importing them may be undesirable. They can always be used with the full package name, 

    use X11::AtomConstants;
    blah (atom => X11::AtomConstants::PIXMAP);
