FBB::Xpointer(3bobcat)						Sets the X-pointer					    FBB::Xpointer(3bobcat)

NAME
       FBB::Xpointer - Sets the location of the X-windows pointer

SYNOPSIS
       #include <bobcat/xpointer>

       Linking option: -lX11 -lbobcat

DESCRIPTION
       This class allows programs running within the X-graphical environment to set and retrieve the X-windows pointer location.

NAMESPACE
       FBB
       All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.

INHERITS FROM
       -

CONSTRUCTORS
       o      Xpointer():
	      The  default constructor. Connects to the Display. throws an Errno exception if the display cannot be opened. With multiple Xpointer
	      objects, the connection to the display is opened only once.

	      This constructor throws an Errno exception if it could not connect to the Display.  The copy constructor is available.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS
       o      bool get(int *x, int *y) const:
	      Returns in its arguments the currnet pointer coordinates relative to the root-window. On success true is returned; false is returned
	      if the pointer could not be moved.

       o      bool set(int x, int y) const:
	      Sets  the  pointer to a location whose pixel coordinates are given with respect to the root-window.  A negative x-coordinate is mea-
	      sured from the right screen-margin of the root window (going left), a negative y-coordinate is measured from the bottom  screen-mar-
	      gin of the root window (going up). On success true is returned; false is returned if the pointer could not be moved.

       o      void verify() const:
	      Obsoleted, will be removed in a future Bobcat release.

EXAMPLE
       #include <iostream>
       #include <string>

       #include <bobcat/xpointer>

       using namespace FBB;

       int main()
       try
       {
	   Xpointer xpointer;
	   xpointer.verify();

	   if (!xpointer.set(100, 200))
	       throw string("Set pointer failed");

	   int x;
	   int y;

	   if (!xpointer.get(&x, &y))
	       throw string("Get pointer failed");

	   cout << "Pointer now at " << x << ", " << y << endl;

	   return 0;
       }
       catch (string msg)
       {
	   cout << msg << endl;
	   return 1;
       }
