Function: face-stipple

face-stipple is a byte-compiled function defined in faces.el.gz.

Signature

(face-stipple FACE &optional FRAME INHERIT)

Documentation

Return the stipple pixmap name of FACE, or nil if unspecified.

If the optional argument FRAME is given, report on face FACE in that frame. If FRAME is t, report on the defaults for face FACE (for new frames). If FRAME is omitted or nil, use the selected frame.

If INHERIT is nil, only a stipple directly defined by FACE is
  considered, so the return value may be nil.
If INHERIT is t, and FACE doesn't define a stipple, then any stipple
  that FACE inherits through its :inherit attribute is considered as
  well; however the return value may still be nil.
If INHERIT is a face or a list of faces, then it is used to try to
  resolve an unspecified stipple.

To ensure that a valid stipple or nil is always returned, use a value of default for INHERIT; this will resolve any unspecified values by merging with the default face (which is always completely specified).
