XtQueryGeometry(3Xt)
X11R6
NAME
  XtQueryGeometry - query the preferred geometry of a child widget

SYNOPSIS
  XtGeometryResult XtQueryGeometry(w, intended, preferred_return)
	  Widget w;
	  XtWidgetGeometry *intended, *preferred_return;

ARGUMENTS
  intended
      Specifies any changes the parent plans to make to the child's geometry
      or NULL.

  preferred_return
      Returns the child widget's preferred geometry.

  w   Specifies the widget.

DESCRIPTION
  To discover a child's preferred geometry, the child's parent sets any
  changes that it intends to make to the child's geometry in the
  corresponding fields of the intended structure, sets the corresponding bits
  in intended.request_mode, and calls XtQueryGeometry.

  XtQueryGeometry clears all bits in the preferred_return->request_mode and
  checks the query_geometry field of the specified widget's class record.  If
  query_geometry is not NULL, XtQueryGeometry calls the query_geometry
  procedure and passes as arguments the specified widget, intended, and
  preferred_return structures. If the intended argument is NULL,
  XtQueryGeometry replaces it with a pointer to an XtWidgetGeometry structure
  with request_mode=0 before calling query_geometry.
