NAME

Get_Geometry request − get a tool’s on-screen geometry

SYNOPSIS

Get_Geometry(out width w,
out height h,
out xOffset x,
out yOffset y
[in messageID commission]);

DESCRIPTION

The Get_Geometry request reports the on-screen geometry of the optionally specified window, or of the window primarily associated with the recipient procid (if no window is specified). 

The w, h, x and y arguments are integer geometry values, in pixels, representing width, height, x-coordinate and y-coordinate, respectively.  Negative offset values are interpreted according to the X11(7) man page. 

The commission argument is the ID of the ongoing request, if any, that resulted in the creation of the window in question. 

APPLICATION USAGE

The ttdt_session_join(3), and ttdt_message_accept(3), functions can be used by Xt applications to register for, and transparently process, the Get_Geometry request.  Also, Get_Geometry can be sent by ttdt_sender_imprint_on(3). 

SEE ALSO
