Description

Return the representation of color on the given graphics port port . In CLX, this is the "pixel" value, which corresponds to an index into the default colormap. It is more efficient to use the result of convert-color in place of its argument in drawing function calls, but the penalty is the risk of erroneous colors being displayed should the colormap or the colormap entry be changed.
