Color QuickDraw Routines / Creating, Setting, and Disposing of Pixel Maps

DisposePixMap
Although you typically don't need to call this routine in your application code, you can use the DisposePixMap procedure to dispose of a PixMap record. The DisposePixMap procedure is also available as the DisposPixMap procedure.
PROCEDURE DisposePixMap (pm: PixMapHandle);
pm
A handle to the PixMap record to be disposed of.

DESCRIPTION
The DisposePixMap procedure disposes of the PixMap record and its color table. The CloseCPort procedure calls DisposePixMap.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
If your application uses DisposePixMap, take care that it does not dispose of a PixMap record whose color table is the same as the current device's CLUT.
