NAME
     XGetWindowAttributes, XGetGeometry - get current window
     attribute or geometry

SYNTAX
     Status XGetWindowAttributes(display, w,
     window_attributes_return)
           Display *display;
           Window w;
           XWindowAttributes *window_attributes_return;

     Status XGetGeometry(display, d, root_return, x_return,
     y_return, width_return,
                           height_return, border_width_return,
     depth_return)
             Display *display;
             Drawable d;
             Window *root_return;
             int *x_return, *y_return;
             unsigned int *width_return, *height_return;
             unsigned int *border_width_return;
             unsigned int *depth_return;

ARGUMENTS
     border_width_return
               Returns the border width in pixels.

     d         Specifies the drawable, which can be a window or a
               pixmap.

     depth_return
               Returns the depth of the drawable (bits per pixel
               for the object).

     display   Specifies the connection to the XWIN server.

     root_return
               Returns the root window.

     w         Specifies the window whose current attributes you
               want to obtain.

     width_return
     height_return
               Return the drawable's dimensions (width and
               height).

     window_attributes_return
               Returns the specified window's attributes in the
               XWindowAttributes structure.

     y_return  Return the x and y coordinates that define the
               location of the drawable.  For a window, these
               coordinates specify the upper-left outer corner
               relative to its parent's origin.  For pixmaps,
               these coordinates are always zero.

DESCRIPTION
     The XGetWindowAttributes function returns the current attri-
     butes for the specified window to an XWindowAttributes
     structure.

     XGetWindowAttributes can generate BadDrawable and BadWindow
     errors.

     The XGetGeometry function returns the root window and the
     current geometry of the drawable.  The geometry of the draw-
     able includes the x and y coordinates, width and height,
     border width, and depth.  These are described in the argu-
     ment list.  It is legal to pass to this function a window
     whose class is InputOnly.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadDrawable
               A value for a Drawable argument does not name a
               defined Window or Pixmap.

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