Tk Library Procedures                     Tk_ConfigureWindow(3TK)



DESCRIPTION
     These procedures are analogous to the X  library  procedures
     with  similar  names, such as XConfigureWindow.  Each one of
     the above procedures calls the corresponding X procedure and
     also  saves  the  configuration  information  in  Tk's local
     structure for the window.  This allows the information to be
     retrieved  quickly  by the application (using macros such as
     Tk_X and Tk_Height) without having to contact the X  server.
     In  addition,  if  no X window has actually been created for
     tkwin yet, these procedures do not  issue  X  operations  or
     cause  event handlers to be invoked;  they save the informa-
     tion in Tk's local structure for the window;  when the  win-
     dow  is created later, the saved information will be used to
     configure the window.

     See the X library documentation for details  on  what  these
     procedures do and how they use their arguments.

     In   the   procedures   Tk_ConfigureWindow,   Tk_MoveWindow,
     Tk_ResizeWindow,           Tk_MoveResizeWindow,          and
     Tk_SetWindowBorderWidth, if tkwin is an internal window then
     event  handlers  interested  in configure events are invoked
     immediately, before the procedure returns.  If  tkwin  is  a
     top-level  window  then  the  event handlers will be invoked
     later, after X has seen the request and  returned  an  event
     for it.

     Applications using Tk  should  never  call  procedures  like
     XConfigureWindow  directly;   they  should  always  use  the
     corresponding Tk procedures.

     The size and location of a window should only be modified by
     the  appropriate  geometry manager for that window and never
     by a window itself (but see Tk_MoveToplevelWindow for moving
     a top-level window).

     You may not use Tk_ConfigureWindow to  change  the  stacking
     order  of  a window (valueMask may not contain the CWSibling
     or CWStackMode bits).  To change the stacking order, use the
     procedure Tk_RestackWindow.

     The procedure Tk_SetWindowColormap  will  automatically  add
     tkwin  to  the  TK_COLORMAP_WINDOWS  property of its nearest
     top-level ancestor if the new  colormap  is  different  from
     that  of  tkwin's  parent  and  tkwin  isn't  already in the
     TK_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property.


BUGS
     Tk_SetWindowBackgroundPixmap  and   Tk_SetWindowBorderPixmap
     differ  slightly  from  their  Xlib counterparts in that the
     pixmap argument may not necessarily be  deleted  immediately

Tk Library Procedures                     Tk_ConfigureWindow(3TK)



     after  calling  one  of  these  procedures.  This is because
     tkwin's window may not exist yet at the time of the call, in
     which  case  pixmap  is  merely  saved  and  used later when
     tkwin's window is actually created.  If you wish  to  delete
     pixmap,  then  call Tk_MakeWindowExist first to be sure that
     tkwin's window exists and pixmap has been passed  to  the  X
     server.

     A similar problem occurs for the cursor argument  passed  to
     Tk_DefineCursor.   The  solution  is the same as for pixmaps
     above:  call Tk_MakeWindowExist before freeing the cursor.
