XWarpPointer(3X11)          X Version 11(Release 5)          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
      specified rectangle of src_w contains the pointer.

      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.
