XtResizeWidget()														  XtResizeWidget()

Name
  XtResizeWidget - resize a child widget.

Synopsis
  void XtResizeWidget(w, width, height, border_width)
	 Widget w;
	 Dimension width;
	 Dimension height;
	 Dimension border_width;

Inputs
  w	    Specifies the widget to be resized.  Must be of class RectObj or any subclass thereof.

  width, height, border_width
	    Specify the new widget size and border width.

Description
  XtResizeWidget()  changes  the  width, height, and border width of w as specified.  It stores the new values into the widget record, and if
  the widget is realized, calls XConfigureWindow() to change the size of the widget's window.  Whether or not the widget is  realized,	XtRe-
  sizeWidget() calls the widget's resize() method to notify it of the size changes.

  If the specified size is equal to the current size, XtResizeWidget() returns immediately without calling XConfigureWindow() or the resize()
  method.

  See resize()(4) for information about the responsibilities of the resize() method.

Usage
  XtResizeWidget() should only be used by a parent widget to change the size of its children.  If an application wishes to change the size of
  a  widget,  it  should set the XtNwidth and XtNheight (and possibly the XtNborderWidth) resources of the widget.  If a widget would like to
  resize itself, it must request a new size with XtMakeGeometryRequest() or XtMakeResizeRequest().

  To move a child widget, use XtMoveWidget().  To move and resize a widget in the same call, use XtConfigureWidget().
