Tk_ManageGeometry(3)	      Tk Library Procedures	    Tk_ManageGeometry(3)

________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
     Tk_ManageGeometry - arrange to handle geometry requests for a window

SYNOPSIS
     #include <tk.h>

     Tk_ManageGeometry(tkwin, mgrPtr, clientData)

ARGUMENTS
     Tk_Window tkwin (in)		      Token for window to be managed.

     const Tk_GeomMgr *mgrPtr (in)	      Pointer to data structure contain-
					      ing information about the geometry
					      manager,	or NULL to indicate that
					      tkwin's  geometry  should  not  be
					      managed  anymore.  The data struc-
					      ture pointed to by mgrPtr must  be
					      static: Tk keeps a reference to it
					      as long as the window is managed.

     ClientData clientData (in) 	      Arbitrary  one-word  value to pass
					      to geometry manager callbacks.
________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
     Tk_ManageGeometry arranges for a particular geometry manager, described  by
     the  mgrPtr  argument, to control the geometry of a particular content win-
     dow, given by tkwin.  If tkwin was previously managed by some other  geome-
     try  manager,  the  previous manager loses control in favor of the new one.
     If mgrPtr is NULL, geometry management is cancelled for tkwin.

     The structure pointed to by mgrPtr contains information about the	geometry
     manager:
	    typedef struct {
		const char *name;
		Tk_GeomRequestProc *requestProc;
		Tk_GeomLostSlaveProc *lostSlaveProc;
	    } Tk_GeomMgr;
     The  name	field is the textual name for the geometry manager, such as pack
     or place;	this value will be returned by the command winfo manager.

     requestProc is a procedure in the geometry manager  that  will  be  invoked
     whenever  Tk_GeometryRequest  is called by the content window to change its
     desired geometry.	requestProc should have arguments and results that match
     the type Tk_GeomRequestProc:
	    typedef void Tk_GeomRequestProc(
		    ClientData clientData,
		    Tk_Window tkwin);
     The parameters to requestProc will be identical to the corresponding  para-
     meters  passed  to  Tk_ManageGeometry.  clientData usually points to a data
     structure containing application-specific information about how  to  manage
     tkwin's geometry.

     The lostSlaveProc field of mgrPtr points to another procedure in the geome-
     try  manager.   Tk  will  invoke  lostSlaveProc if some other manager calls
     Tk_ManageGeometry to claim tkwin away from the  current  geometry	manager.
     lostSlaveProc  is	not  invoked  if Tk_ManageGeometry is called with a NULL
     value for mgrPtr (presumably the current geometry	manager  has  made  this
     call,  so it already knows that the window is no longer managed), nor is it
     called if mgrPtr is the same as  the  window's  current  geometry	manager.
     lostSlaveProc  should  have  arguments and results that match the following
     prototype:
	    typedef void Tk_GeomLostSlaveProc(
		    ClientData clientData,
		    Tk_Window tkwin);
     The parameters to lostSlaveProc will be identical to the corresponding  pa-
     rameters passed to Tk_ManageGeometry.
