XConfigureWindow(3)		XLIB FUNCTIONS		   XConfigureWindow(3)

NAME
       XConfigureWindow,    XMoveWindow,   XResizeWindow,   XMoveResizeWindow,
       XSetWindowBorderWidth, XWindowChanges - configure  windows  and	window
       changes structure

SYNTAX

       int  XConfigureWindow(Display  *display,	Window w, unsigned value_mask,
	      XWindowChanges *changes);

       int XMoveWindow(Display *display, Window	w, int x, y);

       int XResizeWindow(Display *display, Window w, unsigned width,  unsigned
	      height);

       int  XMoveResizeWindow(Display  *display,  Window  w, int x, int	y, un-
	      signed width, unsigned height);

       int XSetWindowBorderWidth(Display *display, Window w, unsigned width);

ARGUMENTS
       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       value_mask
		 Specifies which values	are to be set using information	in the
		 values	structure.  This mask is the bitwise inclusive	OR  of
		 the valid configure window values bits.

       values	 Specifies the XWindowChanges structure.

       w	 Specifies the window to be reconfigured, moved, or resized..

       width	 Specifies the width of	the window border.

       width
       height	 Specify  the  width and height, which are the interior	dimen-
		 sions of the window.

       x
       y	 Specify the x and y coordinates, which	define the  new	 loca-
		 tion of the top-left pixel of the window's border or the win-
		 dow  itself if	it has no border or define the new position of
		 the window relative to	its parent.

DESCRIPTION
       The XConfigureWindow function uses the values specified in the XWindow-
       Changes structure to reconfigure	a window's size, position, border, and
       stacking	order.	Values not specified are taken from the	existing geom-
       etry of the window.

       If a sibling is specified without a stack_mode or if the	window is  not
       actually	 a  sibling, a BadMatch	error results.	Note that the computa-
       tions for BottomIf, TopIf, and Opposite are performed with  respect  to
       the  window's  final  geometry  (as  controlled	by the other arguments
       passed to XConfigureWindow), not	its  initial  geometry.	  Any  backing
       store  contents	of  the	window,	its inferiors, and other newly visible
       windows are either discarded or changed to reflect the  current	screen
       contents	(depending on the implementation).

       XConfigureWindow	can generate BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.

       The  XMoveWindow	function moves the specified window to the specified x
       and y coordinates, but it does not change the window's size, raise  the
       window,	or  change  the	 mapping state of the window.  Moving a	mapped
       window may or may not lose the window's contents	depending  on  if  the
       window  is  obscured by nonchildren and if no backing store exists.  If
       the contents of the window are lost,  the  X  server  generates	Expose
       events.	Moving a mapped	window generates Expose	events on any formerly
       obscured	windows.

       If  the	override-redirect  flag	 of the	window is False	and some other
       client has selected  SubstructureRedirectMask  on  the  parent,	the  X
       server generates	a ConfigureRequest event, and no further processing is
       performed.  Otherwise, the window is moved.

       XMoveWindow can generate	a BadWindow error.

       The  XResizeWindow function changes the inside dimensions of the	speci-
       fied window, not	including its borders.	This function does not	change
       the  window's  upper-left coordinate or the origin and does not restack
       the window.  Changing the size of a mapped window may lose its contents
       and generate Expose events.  If a mapped	window is made smaller,	chang-
       ing its size generates Expose events on windows that the	mapped	window
       formerly	obscured.

       If  the	override-redirect  flag	 of the	window is False	and some other
       client has selected  SubstructureRedirectMask  on  the  parent,	the  X
       server generates	a ConfigureRequest event, and no further processing is
       performed.   If	either	width  or height is zero, a BadValue error re-
       sults.

       XResizeWindow can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.

       The XMoveResizeWindow function changes the size	and  location  of  the
       specified window	without	raising	it.  Moving and	resizing a mapped win-
       dow  may	 generate an Expose event on the window.  Depending on the new
       size and	location parameters, moving and	resizing a window may generate
       Expose events on	windows	that the window	formerly obscured.

       If the override-redirect	flag of	the window is  False  and  some	 other
       client  has  selected  SubstructureRedirectMask	on  the	 parent, the X
       server generates	a ConfigureRequest event, and no further processing is
       performed.  Otherwise, the window size and location are changed.

       XMoveResizeWindow can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.

       The XSetWindowBorderWidth function sets the specified  window's	border
       width to	the specified width.

       XSetWindowBorderWidth can generate a BadWindow error.

STRUCTURES
       The XWindowChanges structure contains:

       /* Configure window value mask bits */
       #de-    CWX			   (1<<0)
       fine
       #de-    CWY			   (1<<1)
       fine
       #de-    CWWidth			   (1<<2)
       fine
       #de-    CWHeight			   (1<<3)
       fine
       #de-    CWBorderWidth		   (1<<4)
       fine
       #de-    CWSibling		   (1<<5)
       fine
       #de-    CWStackMode		   (1<<6)
       fine
       /* Values */

       typedef struct {
	       int x, y;
	       int width, height;
	       int border_width;
	       Window sibling;
	       int stack_mode;
       } XWindowChanges;

       The  x  and y members are used to set the window's x and	y coordinates,
       which are relative to the parent's origin and indicate the position  of
       the  upper-left	outer corner of	the window.  The width and height mem-
       bers are	used to	set the	inside size of the window, not	including  the
       border,	and must be nonzero, or	a BadValue error results.  Attempts to
       configure a root	window have no effect.

       The border_width	member is used to set the width	of the border in  pix-
       els.   Note  that  setting  just	the border width leaves	the outer-left
       corner of the window in a fixed position	but moves the  absolute	 posi-
       tion  of	 the  window's origin.	If you attempt to set the border-width
       attribute of an InputOnly window	nonzero, a BadMatch error results.

       The sibling member is used to set the sibling window for	stacking oper-
       ations.	The stack_mode member is used to set how the window is	to  be
       restacked and can be set	to Above, Below, TopIf,	BottomIf, or Opposite.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadMatch	 An InputOnly window is	used as	a Drawable.

       BadMatch	 Some  argument	 or pair of arguments has the correct type and
		 range but fails to match in some other	way  required  by  the
		 request.

       BadValue	 Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted
		 by  the request.  Unless a specific range is specified	for an
		 argument, the full range defined by the  argument's  type  is
		 accepted.   Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can
		 generate this error.

       BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not	name a defined Window.
