       foreground
                 Specifies the foreground you want to set for the
                 specified GC.

       function  Specifies the function you want to set for the
                 specified GC.

       gc        Specifies the GC.

       plane_mask

  DESCRIPTION
       The XSetState function sets the foreground, background,
       plane mask, and function components for the specified GC.

       XSetState can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue errors.

       XSetFunction sets a specified value in the specified GC.

       XSetFunction can generate BadAlloc, BadGC, and BadValue
       errors.

       The XSetPlaneMask function sets the plane mask in the
       specified GC.

       XSetPlaneMask can generate BadAlloc and BadGC errors.

       The XSetForeground function sets the foreground in the
       specified GC.

       XSetForeground can generate BadAlloc and BadGC errors.

       The XSetBackground function sets the background in the
       specified GC.

       XSetBackground can generate BadAlloc and BadGC errors.

       BadAlloc  The server failed to allocate the requested
                 resource or server memory.

       BadGC     A value for a GContext argument does not name a
                 defined GContext.

       BadValue  Some numeric value falls outside the range of
                 values accepted by the request.  Unless a specific
                 range is specified for an argument, the full range
                 defined by the argument's type is accepted.  Any
                 argument defined as a set of alternatives can
                 generate this error.
