XGetZoomHints() 														   XGetZoomHints()

Name
  XGetZoomHints - read the size hints property of a zoomed window.

Synopsis
  Status XGetZoomHints(display, w, zhints_return)
	Display *display;
	Window w;
	XSizeHints *zhints_return;

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

  w	   Specifies the ID of the window to be queried.

  zhints_return
	   Returns a pointer to the zoom hints.

Returns
  Zero on failure, non-zero on success.

Description
  XGetZoomHints() is obsolete beginning in Release 4, because zoom hints are no longer defined in the ICCCM.

  XGetZoomHints()  is  primarily for window managers.  XGetZoomHints() returns the size hints for a window in its zoomed state (not normal or
  iconified) read from the XA_WM_ZOOM_HINTS property.  It returns a non-zero Status if it succeeds, and zero if the application did not spec-
  ify zoom size hints for this window.

  For more information on using hints, see Volume One, Chapter 12, Interclient Communication.

XSetZoomHints() 														   XSetZoomHints()

Name
  XSetZoomHints - set the size hints property of a zoomed window.

Synopsis
  XSetZoomHints(display, w, zhints)
	Display *display;
	Window w;
	XSizeHints *zhints;

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

  w	   Specifies the ID of the window for which zoom hints are to be set.

  zhints   Specifies a pointer to the zoom hints.

Description
  XSetZoomHints() is no longer used as of Release 3.

  XSetZoomHints()  sets  the XA_WM_ZOOM_HINTS property for an application's top-level window in its zoomed state.  Many window managers think
  of windows in three states: iconified, normal, or zoomed, corresponding to small, medium, and large.	Applications use  XSetZoomHints()  to
  inform the window manager of the size or position desirable for the zoomed window.

  In addition, an application wanting to move or resize its zoomed window should call XSetZoomHints() specifying its new desired location and
  size, in addition to making direct X calls to move or resize.  This is because some  window  managers  may  redirect	window	configuration
  requests, but ignore the resulting events and pay attention to property changes instead.

  To  set  size  hints,  an application must assign values to the appropriate elements in the hints structure, and set the flags field of the
  structure to indicate which members have assigned values and the source of the assignment.  These flags are listed in the  Structures  sec-
  tion below.
