NAME

       XkbAddGeomOverlay - Add one overlay to a section

SYNOPSIS

       XkbOverlayPtr XkbAddGeomOverlay (XkbSectionPtr section, Atom name, int sz_rows);

ARGUMENTS

       - section
              section to which an overlay will be added

       - name name of the overlay

       - sz_rows
              number of rows to reserve in the overlay

DESCRIPTION

       Xkb  provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard geometry. In
       each case the num_ * fields of the corresponding structure  is  incremented  by  1.  These
       functions  do  not  change  sz_*  unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these
       functions fill in the values of the element's structure  from  the  arguments.  For  other
       functions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's elements.

       The  top-level  geometry  description  includes a list of geometry properties.  A geometry
       property associates an arbitrary string with an  equally  arbitrary  name.  Programs  that
       display  images  of  keyboards  can  use  geometry  properties  as hints, but they are not
       interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties.

       XkbAddGeomOverlay adds an overlay with the specified name to the specified  section.   The
       new overlay is created with space allocated for sz_rows rows. If an overlay with name name
       already  exists  in  the  section,  a  pointer  to  the  existing  overlay  is   returned.
       XkbAddGeomOverlay  returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it was not able to
       allocate space for the overlay. To allocate space for an arbitrary number of overlays to a
       section, use the XkbAllocGeomOverlay function.

STRUCTURES

           typedef struct _XkbOverlayRec {
               Atom                  name;            /∗ overlay name */
               XkbSectionPtr         section_under;   /∗ the section under this overlay */
               unsigned short        num_rows;        /∗ number of rows in the rows array */
               unsigned short        sz_rows;         /∗ size of the rows array */
               XkbOverlayRowPtr      rows;            /∗ array of rows in the overlay */
               XkbBoundsPtr          bounds;          /∗ bounding box for the overlay */
           } XkbOverlayRec,*XkbOverlayPtr;
