NAME
       XConfigureWindow, XMoveWindow, XResizeWindow, XMoveResizeWindow,
       XSetWindowBorderWidth, XWindowChanges - configure windows and window
       changes structure

SYNTAX
       int XConfigureWindow(Display *display, Window w, unsigned value_mask,
	      XWindowChanges *changes);

       int XMoveWindow(Display *display, Window w, int x, y);

       int XResizeWindow(Display *display, Window w, unsigned width, unsigned
	      height);

       int XMoveResizeWindow(Display *display, Window w, int x, int y,
	      unsigned width, unsigned height);

       int XSetWindowBorderWidth(Display *display, Window w, unsigned width);

ARGUMENTS
       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       value_mask
		 Specifies which values are to be set using information in the
		 values structure.  This mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of
		 the valid configure window values bits.

       values	 Specifies the XWindowChanges structure.

       w	 Specifies the window to be reconfigured, moved, or resized..

       width	 Specifies the width of the window border.

       width
       height	 Specify the width and height, which are the interior dimen-
		 sions of the window.

       x
       y	 Specify the x and y coordinates, which define the new loca-
		 tion of the top-left pixel of the window's border or the win-
		 dow itself if it has no border or define the new position of
		 the window relative to its parent.

DESCRIPTION
       The XConfigureWindow function uses the values specified in the XWin-
       dowChanges structure to reconfigure a window's size, position, border,
       and stacking order.  Values not specified are taken from the existing
       geometry of the window.

       If a sibling is specified without a stack_mode or if the window is not
       actually a sibling, a BadMatch error results.  Note that the computa-
       tions for BottomIf, TopIf, and Opposite are performed with respect to
       the window's final geometry (as controlled by the other arguments
       passed to XConfigureWindow), not its initial geometry.  Any backing
       store contents of the window, its inferiors, and other newly visible
       windows are either discarded or changed to reflect the current screen
       contents (depending on the implementation).

       XConfigureWindow can generate BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.

       The XMoveWindow function moves the specified window to the specified x
       and y coordinates, but it does not change the window's size, raise the
       window, or change the mapping state of the window.  Moving a mapped
       window may or may not lose the window's contents depending on if the
       window is obscured by nonchildren and if no backing store exists.  If
       the contents of the window are lost, the X server generates Expose
       events.	Moving a mapped window generates Expose events on any formerly
       obscured windows.

       If the override-redirect flag of the window is False and some other
       client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X
       server generates a ConfigureRequest event, and no further processing is
       performed.  Otherwise, the window is moved.

       XMoveWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

       The XResizeWindow function changes the inside dimensions of the speci-
       fied window, not including its borders.	This function does not change
       the window's upper-left coordinate or the origin and does not restack
       the window.  Changing the size of a mapped window may lose its contents
       and generate Expose events.  If a mapped window is made smaller, chang-
       ing its size generates Expose events on windows that the mapped window
       formerly obscured.

       If the override-redirect flag of the window is False and some other
       client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X
       server generates a ConfigureRequest event, and no further processing is
       performed.  If either width or height is zero, a BadValue error
       results.

       XResizeWindow can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.

       The XMoveResizeWindow function changes the size and location of the
       specified window without raising it.  Moving and resizing a mapped win-
       dow may generate an Expose event on the window.	Depending on the new
       size and location parameters, moving and resizing a window may generate
       Expose events on windows that the window formerly obscured.

       If the override-redirect flag of the window is False and some other
       client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, the X
       server generates a ConfigureRequest event, and no further processing is
       performed.  Otherwise, the window size and location are changed.

       XMoveResizeWindow can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.

       The XSetWindowBorderWidth function sets the specified window's border
       width to the specified width.

       XSetWindowBorderWidth can generate a BadWindow error.

STRUCTURES
       The XWindowChanges structure contains:

       /* Configure window value mask bits */

       #define	 CWX			     (1<<0)
       #define	 CWY			     (1<<1)
       #define	 CWWidth		     (1<<2)
       #define	 CWHeight		     (1<<3)
       #define	 CWBorderWidth		     (1<<4)
       #define	 CWSibling		     (1<<5)
       #define	 CWStackMode		     (1<<6)
       /* Values */

       typedef struct {
	       int x, y;
	       int width, height;
	       int border_width;
	       Window sibling;
	       int stack_mode;
       } XWindowChanges;

       The x and y members are used to set the window's x and y coordinates,
       which are relative to the parent's origin and indicate the position of
       the upper-left outer corner of the window.  The width and height mem-
       bers are used to set the inside size of the window, not including the
       border, and must be nonzero, or a BadValue error results.  Attempts to
       configure a root window have no effect.

       The border_width member is used to set the width of the border in pix-
       els.  Note that setting just the border width leaves the outer-left
       corner of the window in a fixed position but moves the absolute posi-
       tion of the window's origin.  If you attempt to set the border-width
       attribute of an InputOnly window nonzero, a BadMatch error results.

       The sibling member is used to set the sibling window for stacking oper-
       ations.	The stack_mode member is used to set how the window is to be
       restacked and can be set to Above, Below, TopIf, BottomIf, or Opposite.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadMatch	 An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.

       BadMatch	 Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and
		 range but fails to match in some other way required by the
		 request.

       BadValue	 Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted
		 by the request.  Unless a specific range is specified for an
		 argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is
		 accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can
		 generate this error.

       BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
