NAME

XTranslateCoordinates - translate window coordinates

SYNTAX

Bool XTranslateCoordinates(Display * display , Window src_w , dest_w , int src_x , int src_y , int * dest_x_return , int * dest_y_return , Window * child_return );

ARGUMENTS

child_return

Returns the child if the coordinates are contained in a mapped child of the destination window.

dest_w

Specifies the destination window.

dest_x_return
dest_y_return

Return the x and y coordinates within the destination window.

display

Specifies the connection to the X server.

src_w

Specifies the source window.

src_x

src_y

Specify the x and y coordinates within the source window.

DESCRIPTION

If XTranslateCoordinates returns True , it takes the src_x and src_y coordinates relative to the source window’s origin and returns these coordinates to dest_x_return and dest_y_return relative to the destination window’s origin. If XTranslateCoordinates returns False , src_w and dest_w are on different screens, and dest_x_return and dest_y_return are zero. If the coordinates are contained in a mapped child of dest_w, that child is returned to child_return. Otherwise, child_return is set to None .

XTranslateCoordinates can generate a BadWindow error.

DIAGNOSTICS

BadWindow

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