    How to set GC with transparent pixmap

    Hello everyone.
    I'm programming in C with xlib (standart libs).
    I need set GC with transparent pixmap (in some pixels).
    I have colored pixmap, that set tile for GC via XSetTile. This pixmap is painted on all screen.
    And I have mask, created by this pixmap. This mask is set by XSetClipMask.
    But mask is set only for one pixmap, that stay in (0, 0).
    How I can multiple this mask on all screen?

    Function create bitmaps from mulricolor pixmap (xpm), set context by each bitmap
    and draw polygons with each context:
    Code:
    void XFillPolygonByPixmap(Display *disp, Drawable d, GC gc,
                              XPoint *polygon, int len,
                              Pixmap pixmap, Pixmap mask)
    {
        const unsigned short MAX_PIXMAP_WHC = 50;
    
    
        char data[MAX_PIXMAP_WHC*MAX_PIXMAP_WHC];
        unsigned short indData = 0;
        unsigned short currColor = 0;
        char colorHex[6];
        unsigned short ind;
        static signed short noneColor = -1;
        XpmImage xpmImage;       // xpm color of line
        unsigned short indBuf = 0;
        unsigned char buf = 0;
        static Pixmap currBitmap[MAX_PIXMAP_WHC];
        static Pixmap prevPixmap = NULL;
        static unsigned short indBitmap = 0;
        static unsigned long colorLong[MAX_PIXMAP_WHC];
        static unsigned int ncolor = 0;
    
    
        // Using tile if no mask in *.xpm
        if (!mask)
        {
            XSetFillStyle(disp, gc, FillTiled);
            XSetTile(disp, gc, pixmap);
            XFillPolygon(disp, d, gc, polygon, len, Complex, CoordModeOrigin);
            return;
        }
    
    
        // Generate new data. Else - use previous
        if (pixmap != prevPixmap)
        {
            prevPixmap = pixmap;

                // for look and understand format of c_color use:
                // printf("%s\n", xpmImage.colorTable[ind].c_color);
