XkbAddGeomOverlay(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					      XkbAddGeomOverlay(3)

NAME
XkbAddGeomOverlay - Add one overlay to a section SYNOPSIS
XkbOverlayPtr XkbAddGeomOverlay ( section, name, sz_rows ) XkbSectionPtr section; Atom name; int sz_rows; ARGUMENTS
- section section to which an overlay will be added - name name of the overlay - sz_rows number of rows to reserve in the overlay DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard geometry. In each case the num_ * fields of the corresponding structure is incremented by 1. These functions do not change sz_* unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these functions fill in the values of the element's structure from the arguments. For other functions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's elements. The top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry properties. A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with an equally arbitrary name. Programs that display images of keyboards can use geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties. XkbAddGeomOverlay adds an overlay with the specified name to the specified section. The new overlay is created with space allocated for sz_rows rows. If an overlay with name name already exists in the section, a pointer to the existing overlay is returned. XkbAddGeomOverlay returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it was not able to allocate space for the overlay. To allocate space for an arbitrary number of overlays to a section, use the XkbAllocGeomOverlay function. STRUCTURES

NAME
XkbAddGeomSection - Add one section to an existing keyboard geometry SYNOPSIS
XkbSectionPtr XkbAddGeomSection ( geom, name, sz_rows, sz_doodads, sz_overlays ) XkbGeometryPtr geom; Atom name; int sz_rows; int sz_doodads; int sz_overlays; ARGUMENTS
- geom geometry to be updated - name name of the new section - sz_rows number of rows to reserve in the section - sz_doodads number of doodads to reserve in the section - sz_overlays number of overlays to reserve in the section DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard geometry. In each case the num_ * fields of the corresponding structure is incremented by 1. These functions do not change sz_* unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these functions fill in the values of the element's structure from the arguments. For other functions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's elements. The top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry properties. A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with an equally arbitrary name. Programs that display images of keyboards can use geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties. A keyboard geometry contains an arbitrary number of sections. XkbAddGeomSection adds one section to an existing keyboard geometry geom. The new section contains space for the number of rows, doodads, and overlays specified by sz_rows, sz_doodads, and sz_overlays. The new section is allocated and zeroed and given the name specified by name. If a section with name name already exists in the geometry, a pointer to the existing section is returned. XkbAddGeomSection returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it was not able to allocate space for the section. To allocate space for an arbitrary number of sections to a geometry, use XkbAllocGeomSections. STRUCTURES
