The created window is placed on top in the stacking order with +respect to siblings. Any part of the window that extends outside its +parent @var{window} is clipped. The @var{border-width} for an +x:Input-Only window must be zero. + +The coordinate system has the X axis horizontal and the Y axis vertical +with the origin [0, 0] at the upper-left corner. Coordinates are +integral, in terms of pixels, and coincide with pixel centers. Each +window and pixmap has its own coordinate system. For a window, the +origin is inside the border at the inside, upper-left corner. + +@var{Class} can be x:Input-Output, x:Input-Only, or x:Copy-From-Parent. +For class x:Input-Output, the @var{visual} type and @var{depth} must be +a combination supported for the screen. The @var{depth} need not be the +same as the parent, but the parent must not be a window of class +x:Input-Only. For an x:Input-Only window, the @var{depth} must be zero, +and the @var{visual} must be one supported by the screen. + +The returned window will have the attributes specified by +@var{field-name}s and @var{value}. + +@defunx x:create-window window position size border-width border background +The returned window inherits its depth, class, and visual from its +parent. All other window attributes, except @var{background} and +@var{border}, have their default values. +@end defun + +@defun x:create-pixmap drawable size depth +@defunx x:create-pixmap display size depth + +@var{size} is a list, vector, or pair of nonzero integers specifying the width +and height desired in the new pixmap. + +@var{x:create-pixmap} returns a new pixmap of the width, height, and +@var{depth} specified. It is valid to pass an x:Input-Only window to the +drawable argument. The @var{depth} argument must be one of the depths +supported by the screen of the specified @var{drawable}. +@end defun + +@defun x:close window +Destroys the specified @var{window} as well as all of its subwindows and +causes the X server to generate a DestroyNotify event for each window. +The window should not be used again. If the window specified by the +@var{window} argument is mapped, it is unmapped automatically. The +ordering of the DestroyNotify events is such that for any given window +being destroyed, DestroyNotify is generated on any inferiors of the +window before being generated on the window itself. The ordering among +siblings and across subhierarchies is not otherwise constrained. If the +@var{window} you specified is a root window, an error is signaled. +Destroying a mapped @var{window} will generate x:Expose events on other +windows that were obscured by the window being destroyed. +@end defun + +@defun x:close pixmap +Deletes the association between the @var{pixmap} and its storage. The X +server frees the pixmap storage when there are no references to it. +@end defun + +@defun x:window-geometry drawable +Returns a list of: + +@table @asis +@item coordinates +@code{cons} of x and y coordinates that define the location of the +@var{drawable}. For a window, these coordinates specify the upper-left +outer corner relative to its parent's origin. For pixmaps, these +coordinates are always zero. +@item size +@code{cons} of the @var{drawable}'s dimensions (width and height). For +a window, these dimensions specify the inside size, not including the +border. +@item border-width +The border width in pixels. If the @var{drawable} is a pixmap, this is +zero. +@item depth +The depth of the @var{drawable} (bits per pixel for the object). +@end table +@end defun + +@defun x:window-set! window field-name value @dots{} +Changes the components specified by @var{field-name}s for the specified +@var{window}. The restrictions are the same as for +@code{x:create-window}. The order in which components are verified and +altered is server dependent. If an error occurs, a subset of the +components may have been altered. +@end defun + +@heading Window Attributes + +@noindent +The @code{x:create-window} and @code{x:window-set!} procedures take five +and one argument (respectively) followed by pairs of arguments, where +the first is one of the property-name symbols (or its top-level value) +listed below; and the second is the value to associate with that +property. + +@defvr Attribute x:CW-Back-Pixmap +Sets the background pixmap of the @var{window} to the specified pixmap. +The background pixmap can immediately be freed if no further explicit +references to it are to be made. If x:Parent-Relative is specified, the +background pixmap of the window's parent is used, or on the root window, +the default background is restored. It is an error to perform this +operation on an x:Input-Only window. If the background is set to #f or +None, the window has no defined background. +@end defvr + +@defvr Attribute x:CW-Back-Pixel +Sets the background of the @var{window} to the specified pixel value. +Changing the background does not cause the @var{window} contents to be +changed. It is an error to perform this operation on an x:Input-Only +window. +@end defvr + +@defvr Attribute x:CW-Border-Pixmap +Sets the border pixmap of the @var{window} to the pixmap you specify. +The border pixmap can be freed if no further explicit references to it +are to be made. If you specify x:Copy-From-Parent, a copy of the parent +window's border pixmap is used. It is an error to perform this +operation on an x:Input-Only @var{window}. +@end defvr + +@defvr Attribute x:CW-Border-Pixel +Sets the border of the @var{window} to the pixel @var{value}. It is an +error to perform this operation on an x:Input-Only window. +@end defvr + +@defvr Attribute x:CW-Bit-Gravity +@defvrx Attribute x:CW-Win-Gravity +The bit gravity of a window defines which region of the window should be +retained when an x:Input-Output window is resized. The default value +for the bit-gravity attribute is x:Forget-Gravity. The window gravity +of a window allows you to define how the x:Input-Output or x:Input-Only +window should be repositioned if its parent is resized. The default +value for the win-gravity attribute is x:North-West-Gravity. + +If the inside width or height of a window is not changed and if the +window is moved or its border is changed, then the contents of the +window are not lost but move with the window. Changing the inside width +or height of the window causes its contents to be moved or lost +(depending on the bit-gravity of the window) and causes children to be +reconfigured (depending on their win-gravity). For a change of width +and height, the (x, y) pairs are defined: + +@multitable @columnfractions .5 .5 +@item Gravity Direction +@tab Coordinates +@item x:North-West-Gravity +@tab (0, 0) +@item x:North-Gravity +@tab (Width/2, 0) +@item x:North-East-Gravity +@tab (Width, 0) +@item x:West-Gravity +@tab (0, Height/2) +@item x:Center-Gravity +@tab (Width/2, Height/2) +@item x:East-Gravity +@tab (Width, Height/2) +@item x:South-West-Gravity +@tab (0, Height) +@item x:South-Gravity +@tab (Width/2, Height) +@item x:South-East-Gravity +@tab (Width, Height) +@end multitable + +When a window with one of these bit-gravity values is resized, the +corresponding pair defines the change in position of each pixel in the +window. When a window with one of these win-gravities has its parent +window resized, the corresponding pair defines the change in position of +the window within the parent. When a window is so repositioned, a +x:Gravity-Notify event is generated (see section 10.10.5). + +A bit-gravity of x:Static-Gravity indicates that the contents or origin +should not move relative to the origin of the root window. If the +change in size of the window is coupled with a change in position (x, +y), then for bit-gravity the change in position of each pixel is (-x, +-y), and for win-gravity the change in position of a child when its +parent is so resized is (-x, -y). Note that x:Static-Gravity still only +takes effect when the width or height of the window is changed, not when +the window is moved. + +A bit-gravity of x:Forget-Gravity indicates that the window's contents +are always discarded after a size change, even if a backing store or +save under has been requested. The window is tiled with its background +and zero or more x:Expose events are generated. If no background is +defined, the existing screen contents are not altered. Some X servers +may also ignore the specified bit-gravity and always generate x:Expose +events. + +The contents and borders of inferiors are not affected by their parent's +bit-gravity. A server is permitted to ignore the specified bit-gravity +and use x:Forget-Gravity instead. + +A win-gravity of x:Unmap-Gravity is like x:North-West-Gravity (the +window is not moved), except the child is also unmapped when the parent +is resized, and an x:Unmap-Notify event is generated. +@end defvr + +@defvr Attribute x:CW-Backing-Store +Some implementations of the X server may choose to maintain the contents +of x:Input-Output windows. If the X server maintains the contents of a +window, the off-screen saved pixels are known as backing store. The +backing store advises the X server on what to do with the contents of a +window. The backing-store attribute can be set to x:Not-Useful +(default), x:When-Mapped, or x:Always. A backing-store attribute of +x:Not-Useful advises the X server that maintaining contents is +unnecessary, although some X implementations may still choose to +maintain contents and, therefore, not generate x:Expose events. A +backing-store attribute of x:When-Mapped advises the X server that +maintaining contents of obscured regions when the window is mapped would +be beneficial. In this case, the server may generate an x:Expose event +when the window is created. A backing-store attribute of x:Always +advises the X server that maintaining contents even when the window is +unmapped would be beneficial. Even if the window is larger than its +parent, this is a request to the X server to maintain complete contents, +not just the region within the parent window boundaries. While the X +server maintains the window's contents, x:Expose events normally are not +generated, but the X server may stop maintaining contents at any time. + +When the contents of obscured regions of a window are being maintained, +regions obscured by noninferior windows are included in the destination +of graphics requests (and source, when the window is the source). +However, regions obscured by inferior windows are not included. +@end defvr + +@defvr Attribute x:CW-Backing-Planes +@defvrx Attribute x:CW-Backing-Pixel +You can set backing planes to indicate (with bits set to 1) which bit +planes of an x:Input-Output window hold dynamic data that must be +preserved in backing store and during save unders. The default value +for the backing-planes attribute is all bits set to 1. You can set +backing pixel to specify what bits to use in planes not covered by +backing planes. The default value for the backing-pixel attribute is +all bits set to 0. The X server is free to save only the specified bit +planes in the backing store or the save under and is free to regenerate +the remaining planes with the specified pixel value. Any extraneous +bits in these values (that is, those bits beyond the specified depth of +the window) may be simply ignored. If you request backing store or save +unders, you should use these members to minimize the amount of +off-screen memory required to store your window. +@end defvr + +@defvr Attribute x:CW-Override-Redirect +To control window placement or to add decoration, a window manager often +needs to intercept (redirect) any map or configure request. Pop-up +windows, however, often need to be mapped without a window manager +getting in the way. To control whether an x:Input-Output or +x:Input-Only window is to ignore these structure control facilities, use +the override-redirect flag. + +The override-redirect flag specifies whether map and configure requests +on this window should override a x:Substructure-Redirect-Mask on the +parent. You can set the override-redirect flag to #t or #f (default). +Window managers use this information to avoid tampering with pop-up +windows. +@end defvr + +@defvr Attribute x:CW-Save-Under +Some server implementations may preserve contents of x:Input-Output windows +under other x:Input-Output windows. This is not the same as preserving the +contents of a window for you. You may get better visual appeal if +transient windows (for example, pop-up menus) request that the system +preserve the screen contents under them, so the temporarily obscured +applications do not have to repaint. + +You can set the save-under flag to True or False (default). If +save-under is True, the X server is advised that, when this window is +mapped, saving the contents of windows it obscures would be beneficial. +@end defvr + +@defvr Attribute x:CW-Event-Mask +The event mask defines which events the client is interested in for this +x:Input-Output or x:Input-Only window (or, for some event types, +inferiors of this window). The event mask is the bitwise inclusive OR +of zero or more of the valid event mask bits.

It is an unfortunate name-collision with Scheme, +and is ingrained in the attribute names. + +@defun x:map-window window +Maps the @var{window} and all of its subwindows that have had map +requests. Mapping a window that has an unmapped ancestor does not +display the window but marks it as eligible for display when the +ancestor becomes mapped. Such a window is called unviewable. When all +its ancestors are mapped, the window becomes viewable and will be +visible on the screen if it is not obscured by another window. This +function has no effect if the @var{window} is already mapped. + +If the override-redirect of the window is False and if some other client +has selected x:Substructure-Redirect-Mask on the parent window, then the X +server generates a MapRequest event, and the @code{x:map-window} +function does not map the @var{window}. Otherwise, the @var{window} is +mapped, and the X server generates a MapNotify event. + +If the @var{window} becomes viewable and no earlier contents for it are +remembered, the X server tiles the @var{window} with its background. If +the window's background is undefined, the existing screen contents are +not altered, and the X server generates zero or more x:Expose events. If +backing-store was maintained while the @var{window} was unmapped, no +x:Expose events are generated. If backing-store will now be maintained, a +full-window exposure is always generated. Otherwise, only visible +regions may be reported. Similar tiling and exposure take place for any +newly viewable inferiors. + +If the window is an Input-Output window, @code{x:map-window} generates +x:Expose events on each Input-Output window that it causes to be displayed. +If the client maps and paints the window and if the client begins +processing events, the window is painted twice. To avoid this, first +ask for x:Expose events and then map the window, so the client processes +input events as usual. The event list will include x:Expose for each +window that has appeared on the screen. The client's normal response to +an x:Expose event should be to repaint the window. This method usually +leads to simpler programs and to proper interaction with window +managers. +@end defun + +@defun x:map-raised window +This procedure is similar to @code{x:map-window} in that it maps the +@var{window} and all of its subwindows that have had map requests. +However, it also raises the specified @var{window} to the top of the +stack. +@end defun + +@defun x:map-subwindows window +Maps all subwindows of a specified @var{window} in top-to-bottom +stacking order. The X server generates x:Expose events on each newly +displayed window. This may be much more efficient than mapping many +windows one at a time because the server needs to perform much of the +work only once, for all of the windows, rather than for each window. +@end defun + +@defun x:unmap-window window +Unmaps the specified @var{window} and causes the X server to generate an +UnmapNotify event. If the specified @var{window} is already unmapped, +@code{x:unmap-window} has no effect. Normal exposure processing on +formerly obscured windows is performed. Any child window will no longer +be visible until another map call is made on the parent. In other +words, the subwindows are still mapped but are not visible until the +parent is mapped. Unmapping a @var{window} will generate x:Expose events +on windows that were formerly obscured by it. +@end defun + +@defun x:unmap-subwindows window +Unmaps all subwindows for the specified @var{window} in bottom-to-top +stacking order. It causes the X server to generate an UnmapNotify event +on each subwindow and x:Expose events on formerly obscured windows.
