+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+When Tk creates a new window it assigns it the default visual
+characteristics (visual, depth, and colormap) for its screen.
+\fBTk_SetWindowVisual\fR may be called to change them.
+\fBTk_SetWindowVisual\fR must be called before the window has
+actually been created in X (e.g. before \fBTk_MapWindow\fR or
+\fBTk_MakeWindowExist\fR has been invoked for the window).
+The safest thing is to call \fBTk_SetWindowVisual\fR immediately
+after calling \fBTk_CreateWindow\fR.
+If \fItkwin\fR has already been created before \fBTk_SetWindowVisual\fR
+is called then it returns 0 and does not make any changes; otherwise
+it returns 1 to signify that the operation
+completed successfully.
+.PP
+Note: \fBTk_SetWindowVisual\fR should not be called if you just want
+to change a window's colormap without changing its visual or depth;
+call \fBTk_SetWindowColormap\fR instead.
+.SH KEYWORDS
+colormap, depth, visual
