  XWarpPointer(3X11)  X Version 11 (Release 4)   XWarpPointer(3X11)



  NAME
       XWarpPointer - move pointer

  SYNTAX
       XWarpPointer(display, src_w, dest_w, src_x, src_y,
       src_width, src_height, dest_x,
                       dest_y)
               Display *display;
               Window src_w, dest_w;
               int src_x, src_y;
               unsigned int src_width, src_height;
               int dest_x, dest_y;

  ARGUMENTS
       dest_w    Specifies the destination window or None.

       dest_x
       dest_y    Specify the x and y coordinates within the
                 destination window.

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       src_x
       src_y
       src_width
       src_height
                 Specify a rectangle in the source window.

       src_w     Specifies the source window or None.

  DESCRIPTION
       If dest_w is None, XWarpPointer moves the pointer by the
       offsets (dest_x, dest_y) relative to the current position of
       the pointer.  If dest_w is a window, XWarpPointer moves the
       pointer to the offsets (dest_x, dest_y) relative to the
       origin of dest_w.  However, if src_w is a window, the move
       only takes place if the window src_w contains the pointer
       and if the pointer is contained in the specified rectangle
       of src_w.

       The src_x and src_y coordinates are relative to the origin
       of src_w.  If src_height is zero, it is replaced with the
       current height of src_w minus src_y.  If src_width is zero,
       it is replaced with the current width of src_w minus src_x.

       There is seldom any reason for calling this function. The
       pointer should normally be left to the user.  If you do use
       this function, however, it generates events just as if the
       user had instantaneously moved the pointer from one position
       to another.  Note that you cannot use XWarpPointer to move
       the pointer outside the confine_to window of an active
       pointer grab.  An attempt to do so will only move the
       pointer as far as the closest edge of the confine_to window.

       XWarpPointer can generate a BadWindow error.

  DIAGNOSTICS
       BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a
                 defined Window.
