💖 NAME 💖

Set_Geometry — set a tool's on-screen geometry. Okay so this is the Set_Geometry page from the special file manual, and it's literally here to set a tool's on-screen geometry. Slay. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       Set_Geometry(inout width w,
               inout height h,
               inout xOffset x,
               inout yOffset y
               [in messageID commission]);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The Set_Geometry request sets the on-screen geometry of the optionally specified window, or of the window primarily associated with the recipient procid if no window is specified. Main character request behavior, no cap. 💅

  • w, h, x and y are integer geometry values, in pixels, representing width, height, x-coordinate and y-coordinate, respectively. Precise pixels, bestie. 🎀
  • Negative offset values are interpreted according to the X11(7) man page. That's the rule, periodt.
  • If any of these arguments are unset, that part of the geometry need not be changed. Lowkey flexible like that. 🌸
  • The return values are the actual new values, in case they differ from the requested new values. So you get the real real back. ✨
  • The commission argument is the ID of the ongoing request, if any, that resulted in the creation of the window in question.

🌈 APPLICATION USAGE 🌈

The ttdt_session_join(3), and ttdt_message_accept(3), functions can be used by Xt applications to register for, and transparently process, the Set_Geometry request. Xt apps stay winning. 👑

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

The Set_Geometry request can be sent as in the following example:

       Tt_message msg = tttk_message_create(0, TT_REQUEST, TT_SESSION,
                               the_recipient_procid, TTDT_SET_GEOMETRY,
                               my_callback);
       tt_message_iarg_add(msg, TT_INOUT, Tttk_width, 500);
       tt_message_iarg_add(msg, TT_INOUT, Tttk_height, 500);
       tt_message_arg_add(msg, TT_INOUT, Tttk_xoffset, 0); /* no value */
       tt_message_arg_add(msg, TT_INOUT, Tttk_yoffset, 0); /* no value */
       tt_message_send(msg);

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

🎀 That's a wrap on Set_Geometry(special file): the footer in this copy only repeats Set_Geometry(special file), with no source/version or date line to report — so no invented metadata, bestie. 💖✨
