XtQueryGeometry(3Xt)        X Version 11(Release 3)        XtQueryGeometry(3Xt)


NAME
      XtQueryGeometry - query the preferred geometry of a child widget

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