NAME
XkbAddGeomSection - Add one section to an existing keyboard geometry SYNOPSIS XkbSectionPtr XkbAddGeomSection (XkbGeometryPtr geom, Atom name, int szrows, int szdoodads, int szoverlays); ARGUMENTS
- geom geometry to be updated
- name name of the new section
- szrows number of rows to reserve in the section
- szdoodads number of doodads to reserve in the section
- szoverlays number of overlays to reserve in the section DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard geometry. In each case the num * fields of the corresponding structure is incremented by 1. These functions do not change sz* unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these functions fill in the values of the element's structure from the arguments. For other functions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's ele‐ ments.
The top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry proper‐ ties. A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with an equally arbitrary name. Programs that display images of keyboards can use geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties. A keyboard geometry contains an arbitrary number of sections. XkbAd‐ dGeomSection adds one section to an existing keyboard geometry geom. The new section contains space for the number of rows, doodads, and overlays specified by szrows, szdoodads, and szoverlays. The new section is allocated and zeroed and given the name specified by name. If a section with name name already exists in the geometry, a pointer to the existing section is returned. XkbAddGeomSection returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it was not able to allocate space for the section. To allocate space for an arbitrary number of sections to a geometry, use XkbAllocGeomSections.
