+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These procedures are identical to the Xlib procedures \fBXCreatePixmap\fR
+and \fBXFreePixmap\fR, except that they have extra code to manage X
+resource identifiers so that identifiers for deleted pixmaps can be
+reused in the future.
+It is important for Tk applications to use these procedures rather
+than \fBXCreatePixmap\fR and \fBXFreePixmap\fR;  otherwise long-running
+applications may run out of resource identifiers.
+.PP
+\fBTk_GetPixmap\fR creates a pixmap suitable for drawing in \fId\fR,
+with dimensions given by \fIwidth\fR, \fIheight\fR, and \fIdepth\fR,
+and returns its identifier.
+\fBTk_FreePixmap\fR destroys the pixmap given by \fIpixmap\fR and makes
+its resource identifier available for reuse.
+
+.SH KEYWORDS
+pixmap, resource identifier
