ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
value_mask
Specifies which values are to be set using information in the
values structure. This mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of
the valid configure window values bits.
values Specifies the structure.
w Specifies the window to be reconfigured, moved, or resized..
width Specifies the width of the window border.
width
height Specify the width and height, which are the interior dimen‐
sions of the window.
x
y Specify the x and y coordinates, which define the new loca‐
tion of the top-left pixel of the window's border or the win‐
dow itself if it has no border or define the new position of
the window relative to its parent.
DESCRIPTION
The function uses the values specified in the structure to reconfigure
a window's size, position, border, and stacking order. Values not
specified are taken from the existing geometry of the window.
If a sibling is specified without a stack_mode or if the window is not
actually a sibling, a error results. Note that the computations for
and are performed with respect to the window's final geometry (as con‐
trolled by the other arguments passed to not its initial geometry. Any
backing store contents of the window, its inferiors, and other newly
visible windows are either discarded or changed to reflect the current
screen contents (depending on the implementation).
can generate and errors.
The function moves the specified window to the specified x and y coor‐
dinates, but it does not change the window's size, raise the window, or
change the mapping state of the window. Moving a mapped window may or
may not lose the window's contents depending on if the window is
obscured by nonchildren and if no backing store exists. If the con‐
tents of the window are lost, the X server generates events. Moving a
mapped window generates events on any formerly obscured windows.
If the override-redirect flag of the window is and some other client
has selected on the parent, the X server generates a event, and no fur‐
ther processing is performed. Otherwise, the window is moved.
can generate a error.
The function changes the inside dimensions of the specified window, not
including its borders. This function does not change the window's
upper-left coordinate or the origin and does not restack the window.
Changing the size of a mapped window may lose its contents and generate
events. If a mapped window is made smaller, changing its size gener‐
ates events on windows that the mapped window formerly obscured.
If the override-redirect flag of the window is and some other client
has selected on the parent, the X server generates a event, and no fur‐
ther processing is performed. If either width or height is zero, a
error results.
can generate and errors.
The function changes the size and location of the specified window
without raising it. Moving and resizing a mapped window may generate
an event on the window. Depending on the new size and location parame‐
ters, moving and resizing a window may generate events on windows that
the window formerly obscured.
If the override-redirect flag of the window is and some other client
has selected on the parent, the X server generates a event, and no fur‐
ther processing is performed. Otherwise, the window size and location
are changed.
can generate and errors.
The function sets the specified window's border width to the specified
width.
can generate a error.
STRUCTURES
The structure contains:
/* Configure window value mask bits */
#define (1<<0)
#define (1<<1)
#define (1<<2)
#define (1<<3)
#define (1<<4)
#define (1<<5)
#define (1<<6)
/* Values */
typedef struct {
int x, y;
int width, height;
int border_width;
Window sibling;
int stack_mode;
} XWindowChanges;
The x and y members are used to set the window's x and y coordinates,
which are relative to the parent's origin and indicate the position of
the upper-left outer corner of the window. The width and height mem‐
bers are used to set the inside size of the window, not including the
border, and must be nonzero, or a error results. Attempts to configure
a root window have no effect.
The border_width member is used to set the width of the border in pix‐
els. Note that setting just the border width leaves the outer-left
corner of the window in a fixed position but moves the absolute posi‐
tion of the window's origin. If you attempt to set the border-width
attribute of an window nonzero, a error results.
The sibling member is used to set the sibling window for stacking oper‐
ations. The stack_mode member is used to set how the window is to be
restacked and can be set to or
DIAGNOSTICS
An window is used as a Drawable.
Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but
fails
to match in some other way required by the request.
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the
request.
Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the
full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any
argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this
error.
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
