NAME

       XConfigureWindow,  XMoveWindow, XResizeWindow, XMoveResizeWindow, XSetWindowBorderWidth, XWindowChanges -
       configure windows and window changes structure

SYNTAX

       int XConfigureWindow(Display *display, Window w, unsigned value_mask, XWindowChanges *changes);

       int XMoveWindow(Display *display, Window w, int x, y);

       int XResizeWindow(Display *display, Window w, unsigned width, unsigned height);

       int XMoveResizeWindow(Display *display, Window w, int x, int y, unsigned width, unsigned height);

       int XSetWindowBorderWidth(Display *display, Window w, unsigned width);

ARGUMENTS

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       value_mask
                 Specifies which values are to be set using information in the values structure.  This  mask  is
                 the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid configure window values bits.

       values    Specifies the XWindowChanges structure.

       w         Specifies the window to be reconfigured, moved, or resized..

       width     Specifies the width of the window border.

       width
       height    Specify the width and height, which are the interior dimensions of the window.

       x
       y         Specify  the  x  and  y coordinates, which define the new location of the top-left pixel of the
                 window's border or the window itself if it has no border or define  the  new  position  of  the
                 window relative to its parent.

DESCRIPTION

       The  XConfigureWindow function uses the values specified in the XWindowChanges structure to reconfigure a
       window's size, position, border, and stacking order.  Values not specified are taken  from  the  existing
       geometry of the window.

       If  a  sibling  is  specified without a stack_mode or if the window is not actually a sibling, a BadMatch
       error results.  Note that the computations for BottomIf, TopIf, and Opposite are performed  with  respect
       to the window's final geometry (as controlled by the other arguments passed to XConfigureWindow), not its
       initial geometry.  Any backing store contents of the window,  its  inferiors,  and  other  newly  visible
       windows  are  either  discarded  or  changed  to  reflect  the  current screen contents (depending on the
       implementation).

       XConfigureWindow can generate BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.

       The XMoveWindow function moves the specified window to the specified x and y coordinates, but it does not
       change  the  window's size, raise the window, or change the mapping state of the window.  Moving a mapped
       window may or may not lose the window's contents depending on if the window is  obscured  by  nonchildren
       and  if  no  backing store exists.  If the contents of the window are lost, the X server generates Expose
       events.  Moving a mapped window generates Expose events on any formerly obscured windows.

       If  the  override-redirect  flag  of  the  window  is  False  and  some   other   client   has   selected
       SubstructureRedirectMask  on  the parent, the X server generates a ConfigureRequest event, and no further
       processing is performed.  Otherwise, the window is moved.

       XMoveWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

       The XResizeWindow function changes the inside dimensions of  the  specified  window,  not  including  its
       borders.   This  function  does  not change the window's upper-left coordinate or the origin and does not
       restack the window.  Changing the size of a mapped window may  lose  its  contents  and  generate  Expose
       events.   If  a  mapped window is made smaller, changing its size generates Expose events on windows that
       the mapped window formerly obscured.

       If  the  override-redirect  flag  of  the  window  is  False  and  some   other   client   has   selected
       SubstructureRedirectMask  on  the parent, the X server generates a ConfigureRequest event, and no further
       processing is performed.  If either width or height is zero, a BadValue error results.

       XResizeWindow can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.

       The XMoveResizeWindow function changes the size and location of the specified window without raising  it.
       Moving  and  resizing  a  mapped window may generate an Expose event on the window.  Depending on the new
       size and location parameters, moving and resizing a window may generate Expose events on windows that the
       window formerly obscured.

       If   the   override-redirect   flag   of  the  window  is  False  and  some  other  client  has  selected
       SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X server generates a ConfigureRequest event, and  no  further
       processing is performed.  Otherwise, the window size and location are changed.

       XMoveResizeWindow can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.

       The XSetWindowBorderWidth function sets the specified window's border width to the specified width.

       XSetWindowBorderWidth can generate a BadWindow error.

STRUCTURES

       The XWindowChanges structure contains:

       /* Configure window value mask bits */

       #define   CWX                         (1<<0)
       #define   CWY                         (1<<1)
       #define   CWWidth                     (1<<2)
       #define   CWHeight                    (1<<3)
       #define   CWBorderWidth               (1<<4)
       #define   CWSibling                   (1<<5)
       #define   CWStackMode                 (1<<6)
       /* Values */

       typedef struct {
               int x, y;
               int width, height;
               int border_width;
               Window sibling;
               int stack_mode;
       } XWindowChanges;

       The x and y members are used to set the window's x and y coordinates, which are relative to the  parent's
       origin  and  indicate  the  position  of the upper-left outer corner of the window.  The width and height
       members are used to set the inside size of the window, not including the border, and must be nonzero,  or
       a BadValue error results.  Attempts to configure a root window have no effect.

       The  border_width  member  is  used to set the width of the border in pixels.  Note that setting just the
       border width leaves the outer-left corner of the window in  a  fixed  position  but  moves  the  absolute
       position of the window's origin.  If you attempt to set the border-width attribute of an InputOnly window
       nonzero, a BadMatch error results.

       The sibling member is used to set the sibling window for stacking operations.  The stack_mode  member  is
       used  to  set  how  the  window  is  to  be restacked and can be set to Above, Below, TopIf, BottomIf, or
       Opposite.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadMatch  An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.

       BadMatch  Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but fails to  match  in  some
                 other way required by the request.

       BadValue  Some  numeric  value  falls  outside  the  range  of  values accepted by the request.  Unless a
                 specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined by the argument's  type  is
                 accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error.

       BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
