NAME

       Tk_GetVRootGeometry - Get location and size of virtual root for window

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tk.h>

       Tk_GetVRootGeometry(tkwin, xPtr, yPtr, widthPtr, heightPtr)

ARGUMENTS

       Tk_Window   tkwin       (in)      Token for window whose virtual root is to be queried.

       int         xPtr        (out)     Points to word in which to store x-offset of virtual root.

       int         yPtr        (out)     Points to word in which to store y-offset of virtual root.

       int         widthPtr    (out)     Points to word in which to store width of virtual root.

       int         heightPtr   (out)     Points to word in which to store height of virtual root.

DESCRIPTION

       TkGetVRootGeometry returns geometry information about the virtual root window associated with tkwin.  The
       ``associated'' virtual root is the one in which tkwin's nearest top-level ancestor (or tkwin itself if it
       is  a  top-level  window)  has  been  reparented  by  the window manager.  This window is identified by a
       __SWM_ROOT or __WM_ROOT property placed on the top-level window by the window manager.  If tkwin  is  not
       associated  with  a  virtual root (e.g.  because the window manager doesn't use virtual roots) then *xPtr
       and *yPtr will be set to 0 and *widthPtr and *heightPtr will be set  to  the  dimensions  of  the  screen
       containing tkwin.
