X applications use a standard string to indicate window size and placement.
225
makes it easier to conform to this standard because it allows you
226
to parse the standard window geometry.
227
Specifically, this function lets you parse strings of the form:
229
.\" Start marker code here
231
[=][<\fIwidth\fP>{xX}<\fIheight\fP>][{+-}<\fIxoffset\fP>{+-}<\fIyoffset\fP>]
233
.\" End marker code here
235
The fields map into the arguments associated with this function.
236
(Items enclosed in <\^> are integers, items in [\^] are optional, and
237
items enclosed in {\^} indicate ``choose one of.''
238
Note that the brackets should not appear in the actual string.)
239
If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
240
the result is implementation-dependent.
244
function returns a bitmask that indicates which of the four values (width,
245
height, xoffset, and yoffset) were actually found in the string
246
and whether the x and y values are negative.
247
By convention, \-0 is not equal to +0, because the user needs to
248
be able to say ``position the window relative to the right or bottom edge.''
249
For each value found, the corresponding argument is updated.
250
For each value not found, the argument is left unchanged.
251
The bits are represented by
261
They will be set whenever one of the values is defined
262
or one of the signs is set.
264
If the function returns either the
269
you should place the window at the requested position.
273
function combines any geometry information (given in the format used by
275
specified by the user and by the calling program with size hints
276
(usually the ones to be stored in WM_NORMAL_HINTS) and returns the position,
278
.Pn ( NorthWestGravity ,
279
.ZN NorthEastGravity ,
280
.ZN SouthEastGravity ,
282
.ZN SouthWestGravity )
283
that describe the window.
284
If the base size is not set in the
287
the minimum size is used if set.
288
Otherwise, a base size of zero is assumed.
289
If no minimum size is set in the hints structure,
290
the base size is used.
291
A mask (in the form returned by
293
that describes which values came from the user specification
294
and whether or not the position coordinates are relative
295
to the right and bottom edges is returned.
296
Note that these coordinates will have already been accounted for
297
in the x_return and y_return values.
299
Note that invalid geometry specifications can cause a width or height
300
of zero to be returned.
301
The caller may pass the address of the hints win_gravity field
302
as gravity_return to update the hints directly.
