XWMGeometry()							 XWMGeometry()

Name
  XWMGeometry – obtain a window's geometry information.

Synopsis
  int  XWMGeometry(display,  screen,  user_geom, def_geom, bwidth_return,
  hints, x_return, y_return, width_return, height_return, gravity_return)
	Display *display;
	int screen;
	char *user_geom;
	char *def_geom;
	unsigned int bwidth_return;
	XSizeHints *hints;
	int *x_return, *y_return;
	int *width, *height_return;
	int *gravity_return;

Arguments
  display   Specifies  a  connection  to  an  X	 server;  returned   from
	    XOpenDisplay().

  screen    Specifies the screen.

  user_geom Specifies the user-specified geometry or NULL.

  def_geom  Specifies the application's default geometry or NULL.

  bwidth    Specifies the border width.

  hints	    Specifies the size hints for the window in its normal state.

  x_return
  y_return  Return the x and y offsets.

  width
  height_return
	    Return the width and height determined.

  gravity_return
	    Returns the window gravity.

Availability
  Release 4 and later.	A mask - see the "Description" section.

Description
  XWMGeometry combines possibly incomplete or nonexistent geometry infor‐
  mation (given in the format used by XParseGeometry()) specified by  the
  user	and by the calling program with complete program-supplied default
  size hints (usually the ones	to  be	stored	in  WM_NORMAL_HINTS)  and
  returns  the	position, size, and gravity (NorthWestGravity, NorthEast‐
  Gravity, SouthEastGravity or SouthWestGravity) that describe	the  win‐
  dow.	If the base size is not set in the XSizeHints structure, the min‐
  imum size is used if set.  Otherwise, a base size of zero  is	 assumed.
  If  no  minimum  size	 is  set in the hints structure, the base size is
  used.	 A mask (in the form returned by XParseGeometry()) that describes
  which values came from the user and whether or not the position coordi‐
  nates are relative to the right and bottom  edges  is	 returned  (which
  will have already been accounted for in the x_return and y values).

  Note	that  invalid  user  geometry specifications can cause a width or
  height of zero to be returned.  The caller may pass the address of  the
  win_gravity field of the hints argument as the gravity_return argument.

  For  more information, see Volume One, Chapter 12, Interclient Communi‐
  cation.

Structures
     typedef struct {
	     long flags;	/* marks which fields in this structure are
				/* defined */
	     int x, y;		/* obsolete for new window mgrs, but clients */
	     int width, height; /* should set so old wm's don't mess up */
	     int min_width, min_height;
	     int max_width, max_height;
	     int width_inc, height_inc;
	     struct {
		     int x;	/* numerator */
		     int y;	/* denominator */
	     } min_aspect, max_aspect;
	     int base_width, base_height;  /* added by ICCCM version 1 */
	     int win_gravity;		   /* added by ICCCM version 1 */
     } XSizeHints
