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  XGeometry has been superseded by XWMGeometry as of Release 4.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