XtQueryGeometry(3Xt)                 SysV                 XtQueryGeometry(3Xt)



NAME
     XtQueryGeometry - query the preferred geometry of a child widget

SYNTAX
     XtGeometryResult XtQueryGeometry(w, intended, preferred_return)
          Widget w;
          XtWidgetGeometry *intended, *preferred_return;

ARGUMENTS
     intended  Specifies any changes the parent plans to make to the child's
               geometry or NULL.

     preferred_return
               Returns the child widget's preferred geometry.

     w         Specifies the widget.

DESCRIPTION
     To discover a child's preferred geometry, the child's parent sets any
     changes that it intends to make to the child's geometry in the
     corresponding fields of the intended structure, sets the corresponding
     bits in intended.request_mode, and calls XtQueryGeometry.

     XtQueryGeometry clears all bits in the preferred_return->request_mode and
     checks the query_geometry field of the specified widget's class record.
     If query_geometry is not NULL, XtQueryGeometry calls the query_geometry
     procedure and passes as arguments the specified widget, intended, and
     preferred_return structures.  If the intended argument is NULL,
     XtQueryGeometry replaces it with a pointer to an XtWidgetGeometry
     structure with request_mode=0 before calling query_geometry.
