XGeometry()															       XGeometry()

Name
  XGeometry - calculate window geometry given user geometry string and default geometry.

Synopsis
  int XGeometry(display, screen, position, default_position, bwidth,
	 fwidth, fheight, xadder, yadder, x_return, y_return, height_return, width_return, height_return)
	Display *display;
	int screen;
	char *position, *default_position;
	unsigned int bwidth;
	unsigned int fwidth, fheight;
	int xadder, yadder;
	int *x_return, *y_return, *width_return, *height_return;

Arguments
  display     Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  screen      Specifies which screen the window is on.

  position    Specifies the user- or program-supplied geometry string, perhaps incomplete.

  default_position
	      Specifies the default geometry string and must be complete.

  bwidth      Specifies the border width.

  fheight     Specify the font height and width in pixels (increment size).
  fwidth

  xadder      Specify additional interior padding in pixels needed in the window.
  yadder

  x_return    Return the user-specified or default coordinates of the window.
  y_return

  width_returnReturn the window dimensions in pixels.
  height_return

Returns
  A bitmask composed of the symbols XValue, YValue, WidthValue, HeightValue, XNegative, and/or YNegative.

Description
  XGeometry has been superseded by XWMGeometry as of Release 4.

  XGeometry  returns  the  position and size of a window given a user-supplied geometry (allowed to be partial) and a default geometry.  Each
  user-supplied specification is copied into the appropriate returned argument, unless it is not present, in which case the default  specifi-
  cation is used.  The default geometry should be complete while the user-supplied one may not be.

  XGeometry is useful for processing command-line options and user preferences.  These geometry strings are of the form:
      =<width>x<height>{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>
  The  "=" at the beginning of the string is now optional.  (Items enclosed in <> are integers, and items enclosed in {} are a set from which
  one item is to be chosen.  Note that the brackets should not appear in the actual string.)

  The XGeometry return value is a bitmask that indicates which values were present in user_position.  This bitmask is composed of the  exclu-
  sive OR of the symbols XValue, YValue, WidthValue, HeightValue, XNegative, or YNegative.

  If  the  function returns either XValue or  YValue, you should place the window at the requested position.  The border width (bwidth), size
  of the width and height increments (typically fwidth and fheight), and any additional interior space (xadder and yadder) are passed  in  to
  make it easy to compute the resulting size.

DESCRIPTION

       By convention, X applications use a standard string to indicate window size and placement.  XParseGeometry makes it easier to conform to
       this standard because it allows you to parse the standard window geometry.  Specifically, this function lets you parse strings of the form:

       [=][<width>{xX}<height>][{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>]

       The fields map into the arguments associated with this function.  (Items enclosed in <> are integers, items in [] are optional, and items
       enclosed in {} indicate ``choose one of.''  Note that the brackets should not appear in the actual string.)  If the string is not in the
       Host Portable Character Encoding, the result is implementation-dependent.

       The XParseGeometry function returns a bitmask that indicates which of the four values (width, height, xoffset, and yoffset) were actually
       found in the string and whether the x and y values are negative.  By convention, -0 is not equal to +0, because the user needs to be able
       to say ``position the window relative to the right or bottom edge.''  For each value found, the corresponding argument is updated.  For
       each value not found, the argument is left unchanged.  The bits are represented by XValue, YValue, WidthValue, HeightValue, XNegative, or
       YNegative and are defined in <X11/Xutil.h>.  They will be set whenever one of the values is defined or one of the signs is set.

       If the function returns either the XValue or YValue flag, you should place the window at the requested position.

       The XWMGeometry function combines any geometry information (given in the format used by XParseGeometry) specified by the user and by the
       calling program with size hints (usually the ones to be stored in WM_NORMAL_HINTS) and returns the position, size, and gravity (NorthWest-
       Gravity, NorthEastGravity, SouthEastGravity, or SouthWestGravity) that describe the window.  If the base size is not set in the XSizeHints
       structure, the minimum size is used if set.  Otherwise, a base size of zero is assumed.	If no minimum size is set in the hints structure,
       the base size is used.  A mask (in the form returned by XParseGeometry) that describes which values came from the user specification and
       whether or not the position coordinates are relative to the right and bottom edges is returned.	Note that these coordinates will have
       already been accounted for in the x_return and y_return values.

       Note that invalid geometry specifications can cause a width or height of zero to be returned.  The caller may pass the address of the hints
       win_gravity field as gravity_return to update the hints directly.
