ARGUMENTS
       Tk_Window tkwin (in)			      Token for	window.

       unsigned	int valueMask (in)		      OR-ed  mask  of	values
						      like  CWX	 or  CWBorder-
						      Pixel, indicating	 which
						      fields  of  *valuePtr or
						      *attsPtr to use.

       XWindowChanges *valuePtr	(in)		      Points  to  a  structure
						      containing   new	values
						      for  the	 configuration
						      parameters  selected  by
						      valueMask.   Fields  not
						      selected	 by  valueMask
						      are ignored.

       int x (in)				      New x-coordinate for tk-
						      win's  top  left	 pixel
						      (including   border,  if
						      any) within tkwin's par-
						      ent.

       int y (in)				      New y-coordinate for tk-
						      win's  top  left	 pixel
						      (including   border,  if
						      any) within tkwin's par-
						      ent.

       int width (in)				      New width	for tkwin (in-
						      terior,  not   including
						      border).

       int height (in)				      New   height  for	 tkwin
						      (interior, not including
						      border).

       int borderWidth (in)			      New  width  for  tkwin's
						      border.

       XSetWindowAttributes *attsPtr (in)	      Points  to  a  structure
						      containing  new	values
						      for the attributes given
						      by  the  valueMask argu-
						      ment.   Attributes   not
						      selected	 by  valueMask
						      are ignored.

       unsigned	long pixel (in)			      New background or	border
						      color for	window.

       Pixmap pixmap (in)			      New pixmap  to  use  for
						      background  or border of
						      tkwin.  WARNING:	cannot
						      necessarily  be  deleted
						      immediately, as for Xlib
						      calls.  See note below.

       Colormap	colormap (in)			      New colormap to use  for
						      tkwin.

       Tk_Cursor cursor	(in)			      New  cursor  to  use for
						      tkwin.  If None is spec-
						      ified, then  tkwin  will
						      not have its own cursor;
						      it  will	use the	cursor
						      of its parent.

DESCRIPTION
       These procedures	are analogous to the X library procedures with similar
       names, such as XConfigureWindow.	 Each  one  of	the  above  procedures
       calls  the  corresponding  X procedure and also saves the configuration
       information in Tk's local structure for the window.   This  allows  the
       information  to	be  retrieved quickly by the application (using	macros
       such as Tk_X and	Tk_Height) without having to contact the X server.  In
       addition, if no X window	has actually been created for tkwin yet, these
       procedures do not issue X operations or cause event handlers to be  in-
       voked;	they save the information in Tk's local	structure for the win-
       dow;  when the window is	created	later, the saved information  will  be
       used to configure the window.

       See the X library documentation for details on what these procedures do
       and how they use	their arguments.

       In  the	procedures Tk_ConfigureWindow, Tk_MoveWindow, Tk_ResizeWindow,
       Tk_MoveResizeWindow, and	Tk_SetWindowBorderWidth, if tkwin is an	inter-
       nal window then event handlers interested in configure events  are  in-
       voked  immediately,  before  the	procedure returns.  If tkwin is	a top-
       level window then the event handlers will be invoked later, after X has
       seen the	request	and returned an	event for it.

       Applications using Tk should never call procedures like	XConfigureWin-
       dow directly;  they should always use the corresponding Tk procedures.

       The size	and location of	a window should	only be	modified by the	appro-
       priate  geometry	 manager  for that window and never by a window	itself
       (but see	Tk_MoveToplevelWindow for moving a top-level window).

       You may not use Tk_ConfigureWindow to change the	stacking  order	 of  a
       window  (valueMask  may not contain the CWSibling or CWStackMode	bits).
       To change the stacking order, use the procedure Tk_RestackWindow.

       The procedure Tk_SetWindowColormap will automatically add tkwin to  the
       TK_COLORMAP_WINDOWS  property  of its nearest top-level ancestor	if the
       new colormap is different from that of tkwin's parent and tkwin is  not
       already in the TK_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property.

BUGS
       Tk_SetWindowBackgroundPixmap    and   Tk_SetWindowBorderPixmap	differ
       slightly	from their Xlib	counterparts in	that the pixmap	 argument  may
       not  necessarily	be deleted immediately after calling one of these pro-
       cedures.	 This is because tkwin's window	may not	exist yet at the  time
       of  the	call, in which case pixmap is merely saved and used later when
       tkwin's window is actually created.  If you wish	to delete pixmap, then
       call Tk_MakeWindowExist first to	be sure	that tkwin's window exists and
       pixmap has been passed to the X server.

       A similar problem occurs	for  the  cursor  argument  passed  to	Tk_De-
       fineCursor.   The  solution  is	the  same  as  for pixmaps above: call
       Tk_MakeWindowExist before freeing the cursor.
