NAME

       XQueryBestSize, XQueryBestTile, XQueryBestStipple - determine efficient sizes

SYNTAX

       Status  XQueryBestSize(Display  *display,  int class, Drawable which_screen, unsigned int width, unsigned
              int height, unsigned int *width_return, unsigned int *height_return);

       Status XQueryBestTile(Display *display, Drawable which_screen, unsigned int width, unsigned  int  height,
              unsigned int *width_return, unsigned int *height_return);

       Status  XQueryBestStipple(Display  *display,  Drawable  which_screen,  unsigned  int  width, unsigned int
              height, unsigned int *width_return, unsigned int *height_return);

ARGUMENTS

       class     Specifies the class that you are interested  in.   You  can  pass  TileShape,  CursorShape,  or
                 StippleShape.

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       width
       height    Specify the width and height.

       which_screen
                 Specifies any drawable on the screen.

       width_return
       height_return
                 Return the width and height of the object best supported by the display hardware.

DESCRIPTION

       The  XQueryBestSize  function  returns  the best or closest size to the specified size.  For CursorShape,
       this is the largest size that can be fully displayed  on  the  screen  specified  by  which_screen.   For
       TileShape,  this  is  the size that can be tiled fastest.  For StippleShape, this is the size that can be
       stippled fastest.  For CursorShape, the  drawable  indicates  the  desired  screen.   For  TileShape  and
       StippleShape,  the  drawable  indicates the screen and possibly the window class and depth.  An InputOnly
       window cannot be used as the drawable for TileShape or StippleShape, or a BadMatch error results.

       XQueryBestSize can generate BadDrawable, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.

       The XQueryBestTile function returns the best or closest size, that is, the size that can be tiled fastest
       on the screen specified by which_screen.  The drawable indicates the screen and possibly the window class
       and depth.  If an InputOnly window is used as the drawable, a BadMatch error results.

       XQueryBestTile can generate BadDrawable and BadMatch errors.

       The XQueryBestStipple function returns the best or closest size, that is, the size that can  be  stippled
       fastest  on  the  screen  specified  by which_screen.  The drawable indicates the screen and possibly the
       window class and depth.  If an InputOnly window is used as the drawable, a BadMatch error results.

       XQueryBestStipple can generate BadDrawable and BadMatch errors.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadMatch  An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.

       BadDrawable
                 A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.

       BadMatch  The values do not exist for an InputOnly window.

       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.
