NAME
XAllocIconSize, XSetIconSizes, XGetIconSizes, XIconSize -
allocate icon size structure and set or read a window's
WM_ICON_SIZES property
SYNTAX
XIconSize *XAllocIconSize()
XSetIconSizes(display, w, size_list, count)
Display *display;
Window w;
XIconSize *size_list;
int count;
Status XGetIconSizes(display, w, size_list_return,
count_return)
Display *display;
Window w;
XIconSize **size_list_return;
int *count_return;
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
count Specifies the number of items in the size list.
count_return

size_list Specifies the size list.
size_list_return

w Specifies the window.
DESCRIPTION
The XAllocIconSize function allocates and returns a pointer
to a XIconSize structure. Note that all fields in the
XIconSize structure are initially set to zero. If
insufficient memory is available, XAllocIconSize returns
NULL. To free the memory allocated to this structure, use
XFree.
The XSetIconSizes function is used only by window managers
to set the supported icon sizes.
XSetIconSizes can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.
The XGetIconSizes function returns zero if a window manager
has not set icon sizes; otherwise, it return nonzero.
XGetIconSizes should be called by an application that wants

XAllocIconSize(3X11)X Version 11 (Release 6.6XAllocIconSize(3X11)
to find out what icon sizes would be most appreciated by the
window manager under which the application is running. The
application should then use XSetWMHints to supply the window
manager with an icon pixmap or window in one of the
supported sizes. To free the data allocated in
size_list_return, use XFree.
XGetIconSizes can generate a BadWindow error.
PROPERTIES
WM_ICON_SIZES
The window manager may set this property on the
root window to specify the icon sizes it supports.
The C type of this property is XIconSize.
STRUCTURES
The XIconSize structure contains:
typedef struct {
int min_width, min_height;
int max_width, max_height;
int width_inc, height_inc;
} XIconSize;
The width_inc and height_inc members define an arithmetic
progression of sizes (minimum to maximum) that represent the
supported icon sizes.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested
resource or server memory.
BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a
defined Window.
