XtQueryGeometry(3Xt)                         XtQueryGeometry(3Xt)



NAME
     XtQueryGeometry - queries the preferred geometry of a  child
     widget

SYNOPSIS
     XtGeometryResult XtQueryGeometry(w, intended, preferred-
     return)
     Widget w;
     XtWidgetGeometry *intended, *preferred-return;

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 members of the structure
     specified by intended, sets the corresponding bits in the
     request-mode member of the structure specified by intended,
     and calls XtQueryGeometry.

     XtQueryGeometry clears all bits in
     preferred-return->request_mode and checks the query_geometry
     member of the specified widget's class record.  If
     query_geometry is not NULL,
     XtQueryGeometry calls the query_geometry procedure and
     passes as arguments the widget specified by w and the struc-
     tures specified by intended and preferred-return.  If in-
     tended is NULL, XtQueryGeometry replaces it with a pointer
     to an XtWidgetGeometry structure with request_mode set to 0
     before calling query_geometry.

   Arguments
     This function accepts the following 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.
