In CLX, each display screen is represented by a screen structure. The display-roots function returns the list of screen structures for the display. The following paragraphs discuss the attributes of CLX screen structures.
A screen.
Returns a value indicating when the screen supports backing stores, although it may be storage limited in the number of windows it can support at once. The value returned can be one of :always, :never, or :when-mapped.

Pixmaps are supported for each depth listed, and windows of that depth are supported if at least one visual type is listed for the depth. A pixmap depth of one is always supported and listed, but windows of depth one might not be supported. A depth of zero is never listed, but zero-depth :input-only windows are always supported.
