XSetSizeHints()XSetSizeHints()NameXSetSizeHints – set the value of any property of type XA_WM_SIZE_HINTS.
Synopsis
XSetSizeHints(display, w, hints, property)
Display *display;
Window w;
XSizeHints *hints;
Atom property;
Arguments
display Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from
XOpenDisplay().
w Specifies the window ID.
hints Specifies a pointer to the size hints.
property Specifies the property atom.
DescriptionXSetSizeHints() has been superseded by XSetWMSizeHints() as of Release
4.
XSetSizeHints() sets the named property on the specified window to the
specified XSizeHints structure. This routine is useful if new proper‐
ties of type XA_WM_SIZE_HINTS are defined. The predefined properties
of that type have their own set and get functions, XSetNormalHints()
and XSetZoomHints() (XSetWMHints() in Release 4 and later - zoom hints
are obsolete).
The flags member of XSizeHints must be set to the OR of the symbols
representing each member to be set.
For more information on using hints, see Volume One, Chapter 12, Inter‐
client Communication.
