XtMakeGeometryRequest(3)	  XT FUNCTIONS		XtMakeGeometryRequest(3)

NAME
     XtMakeGeometryRequest, XtMakeResizeRequest - make geometry manager request

SYNTAX
     #include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

     XtGeometryResult XtMakeGeometryRequest(Widget w, XtWidgetGeometry *request,
	    XtWidgetGeometry *reply_return);

     XtGeometryResult  XtMakeResizeRequest(Widget  w, Dimension width, Dimension
	    height, Dimension *width_return, Dimension *height_return);

ARGUMENTS
     reply_return
	       Returns the allowed widget size or may be NULL if the  requesting
	       widget is not interested in handling XtGeometryAlmost.

     request   Specifies  the  desired	widget	geometry (size, position, border
	       width, and stacking order).

     w	       Specifies the widget that is making the request.

     width_return
     height_return
	       Return the allowed widget width and height.

DESCRIPTION
     Depending on the condition, XtMakeGeometryRequest performs the following:

     *	  If the widget is unmanaged or the widget's parent is not realized,  it
	  makes the changes and returns XtGeometryYes.

     *	  If  the  parent  is not a subclass of compositeWidgetClass or the par-
	  ent's geometry_manager is NULL, it issues an error.

     *	  If the widget's being_destroyed field is  True,  it  returns	XtGeome-
	  tryNo.

     *	  If  the  widget  x,  y,  width, height and border_width fields are all
	  equal to the requested values, it returns XtGeometryYes; otherwise, it
	  calls the parent's geometry_manager procedure with the  given  parame-
	  ters.

     *	  If  the  parent's  geometry manager returns XtGeometryYes and if XtCW-
	  QueryOnly is not set in the request_mode and if the  widget  is  real-
	  ized,  XtMakeGeometryRequest	calls the XConfigureWindow Xlib function
	  to reconfigure the widget's window (set its size, location, and stack-
	  ing order as appropriate).

     *	  If the geometry manager returns XtGeometryDone, the  change  has  been
	  approved  and  actually  has been done.  In this case, XtMakeGeometry-
	  Request  does  no  configuring  and  returns	XtGeometryYes.	 XtMake-
	  GeometryRequest never returns XtGeometryDone.

     Otherwise,  XtMakeGeometryRequest returns the resulting value from the par-
     ent's geometry manager.

     Children of primitive widgets are always unmanaged;  thus,  XtMakeGeometry-
     Request  always returns XtGeometryYes when called by a child of a primitive
     widget.

     The XtMakeResizeRequest function, a  simple  interface  to  XtMakeGeometry-
     Request,  creates a XtWidgetGeometry structure and specifies that width and
     height should change.  The geometry manager is free to modify  any  of  the
     other  window attributes (position or stacking order) to satisfy the resize
     request.	If  the  return  value	is  XtGeometryAlmost,  width_return  and
     height_return  contain a compromise width and height.  If these are accept-
     able, the widget should immediately make an XtMakeResizeRequest and request
     that the compromise width and height be applied.  If the widget is not  in-
     terested in XtGeometryAlmost replies, it can pass NULL for width_return and
     height_return.
