.SH REQUEST ARGUMENTS
.IP \fIconn\fP 1i
The XCB connection to X11.
.IP \fIdepth\fP 1i

.IP \fIpid\fP 1i
The ID with which you will refer to the new pixmap, created by
\fIxcb_generate_id\fP.

Drawable to get the screen from.
.IP \fIwidth\fP 1i

.SH DESCRIPTION
Creates a pixmap. The pixmap can only be used on the same screen as \fIdrawable\fP
is on and only with drawables of the same \fIdepth\fP.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns an \fIxcb_void_cookie_t\fP. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.

If you want to handle errors directly with \fIxcb_request_check\fP instead, use \fIxcb_create_pixmap_checked\fP. See \fBxcb-requests(3)\fP for details.

The specified \fIdrawable\fP (Window or Pixmap) does not exist.
.IP \fIxcb_value_error_t\fP 1i
TODO: reasons?
