NAME

       XtQueryGeometry - query the preferred geometry of a child widget

SYNTAX

       #include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

       XtGeometryResult XtQueryGeometry(Widget w, XtWidgetGeometry *intended, XtWidgetGeometry
              *preferred_return);

ARGUMENTS

       intended  Specifies any changes the parent plans to make to the child's geometry or NULL.

       preferred_return
                 Returns the child widget's preferred geometry.

       w         Specifies the widget.

DESCRIPTION

       To discover a child's preferred geometry, the child's parent sets any changes that it
       intends to make to the child's geometry in the corresponding fields of the intended
       structure, sets the corresponding bits in intended.request_mode, and calls
       XtQueryGeometry.

       XtQueryGeometry clears all bits in the preferred_return->request_mode and checks the
       query_geometry field of the specified widget's class record.  If query_geometry is not
       NULL, XtQueryGeometry calls the query_geometry procedure and passes as arguments the
       specified widget, intended, and preferred_return structures.  If the intended argument is
       NULL, XtQueryGeometry replaces it with a pointer to an XtWidgetGeometry structure with
       request_mode=0 before calling query_geometry.
