XtQueryGeometry(3)               XT FUNCTIONS               XtQueryGeometry(3)

NAME
       XtQueryGeometry - query the preferred geometry of a child widget

SYNTAX
       #include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

       XtGeometryResult XtQueryGeometry(Widget w, XtWidgetGeometry *intended,
              XtWidgetGeometry *preferred_return);

ARGUMENTS
       intended  Specifies any changes the parent plans to make to the child's
                 geometry or NULL.

       preferred_return
                 Returns the child widget's preferred geometry.

       w         Specifies the widget.

DESCRIPTION
       To discover a child's preferred geometry, the child's parent sets any
       changes that it intends to make to the child's geometry in the
       corresponding fields of the intended structure, sets the corresponding
       bits in intended.request_mode, and calls XtQueryGeometry.

       XtQueryGeometry clears all bits in the preferred_return->request_mode
       and checks the query_geometry field of the specified widget's class
       record.  If query_geometry is not NULL, XtQueryGeometry calls the
       query_geometry procedure and passes as arguments the specified widget,
       intended, and preferred_return structures.  If the intended argument is
       NULL, XtQueryGeometry replaces it with a pointer to an XtWidgetGeometry
       structure with request_mode=0 before calling query_geometry.
