XtMakeGeometryRequest(3)	 XT FUNCTIONS	      XtMakeGeometryRequest(3)



NAME
       XtMakeGeometryRequest, XtMakeResizeRequest - make geometry manager
       request

SYNTAX
       XtGeometryResult XtMakeGeometryRequest(Widget w, XtWidgetGeometry
	      *request, XtWidgetGeometry *reply_return);

       XtGeometryResult XtMakeResizeRequest(Widget w, Dimension width, height,
	      Dimension *width_return, Dimension *height_return);

ARGUMENTS
       reply_return

		 Returns the allowed widget size or may be NULL if the
		 requesting widget is not interested in handling XtGeometryAl-
		 most.

       request	 Specifies the desired widget geometry (size, position, border

		 width, and stacking order).

       w	 Specifies the widget that is making the request.

       width_return
       height_return

		 Return the allowed widget width and height.

DESCRIPTION
       Depending on the condition, XtMakeGeometryRequest performs the follow-
       ing:

       o    If the widget is unmanaged or the widget's parent is not realized,

	    it makes the changes and returns XtGeometryYes.

       o    If the parent is not a subclass of compositeWidgetClass or the

	    parent's geometry_manager is NULL, it issues an error.

       o    If the widget's being_destroyed field is True, it returns XtGeome-

	    tryNo.

       o    If the widget x, y, width, height and border_width fields are all

	    equal to the requested values, it returns XtGeometryYes; other-
	    wise, it calls the parent's geometry_manager procedure with the
	    given parameters.

       o    If the parent's geometry manager returns XtGeometryYes and if

	    XtCWQueryOnly is not set in the request_mode and if the widget is
	    realized, XtMakeGeometryRequest calls the XConfigureWindow Xlib
	    function to reconfigure the widget's window (set its size, loca-
	    tion, and stacking order as appropriate).

       o    If the geometry manager returns XtGeometryDone, the change has

	    been approved and actually has been done.  In this case, XtMake-
	    GeometryRequest does no configuring and returns XtGeometryYes.
	    XtMakeGeometryRequest never returns XtGeometryDone.

       Otherwise, XtMakeGeometryRequest returns the resulting value from the
       parent's geometry manager.

       Children of primitive widgets are always unmanaged; thus, XtMake-
       GeometryRequest always returns XtGeometryYes when called by a child of
       a primitive widget.

       The XtMakeResizeRequest function, a simple interface to XtMakeGeometry-
       Request, creates a XtWidgetGeometry structure and specifies that width
       and height should change.  The geometry manager is free to modify any
       of the other window attributes (position or stacking order) to satisfy
       the resize request.  If the return value is XtGeometryAlmost,
       width_return and height_return contain a compromise width and height.
       If these are acceptable, the widget should immediately make an XtMake-
       ResizeRequest and request that the compromise width and height be
       applied.  If the widget is not interested in XtGeometryAlmost replies,
       it can pass NULL for width_return and height_return.
