ARGUMENTS
       display	Specifies the connection to the X server.

       value_mask
		 Specifies which values are to be set using
		 information in the values structure.  This mask
		 is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid config-
		 ure window values bits.

       values	Specifies the XWindowChanges structure.

       w	 Specifies the window to be reconfigured, moved,
		 or resized..

       width	Specifies the width of the window border.

       width
       height	Specify the width and height, which are the
		 interior dimensions of the window.

       x

XConfigureWindow(3X11)	XLIB FUNCTIONS	 XConfigureWindow(3X11)

       y	 Specify the x and y coordinates, which define
		 the new location of the top-left pixel of the
		 window's border or the window itself if it has
		 no border or define the new position of the win-
		 dow relative to its parent.

DESCRIPTION
       The XConfigureWindow function uses the values specified in
       the XWindowChanges structure to reconfigure a window's
       size, position, border, and stacking order.  Values not
       specified are taken from the existing geometry of the win-
       dow.

       If a sibling is specified without a stack_mode or if the
       window is not actually a sibling, a BadMatch error
       results. Note that the computations for BottomIf, TopIf,
       and Opposite are performed with respect to the window's
       final geometry (as controlled by the other arguments
       passed to XConfigureWindow), not its initial geometry.
       Any backing store contents of the window, its inferiors,
       and other newly visible windows are either discarded or
       changed to reflect the current screen contents (depending
       on the implementation).

       XConfigureWindow can generate BadMatch, BadValue, and Bad-
       Window errors.

       The XMoveWindow function moves the specified window to the
       specified x and y coordinates, but it does not change the
       window's size, raise the window, or change the mapping
       state of the window.  Moving a mapped window may or may
       not lose the window's contents depending on if the window
       is obscured by nonchildren and if no backing store exists.
       If the contents of the window are lost, the X server gen-
       erates Expose events.  Moving a mapped window generates
       Expose events on any formerly obscured windows.

       If the override-redirect flag of the window is False and
       some other client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on
       the parent, the X server generates a ConfigureRequest
       event, and no further processing is performed.  Otherwise,
       the window is moved.

       XMoveWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

       The XResizeWindow function changes the inside dimensions
       of the specified window, not including its borders.  This
       function does not change the window's upper-left coordi-
       nate or the origin and does not restack the window.
       Changing the size of a mapped window may lose its contents
       and generate Expose events.  If a mapped window is made
       smaller, changing its size generates Expose events on win-
       dows that the mapped window formerly obscured.

       If the override-redirect flag of the window is False and
       some other client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on
       the parent, the X server generates a ConfigureRequest
       event, and no further processing is performed.  If either
       width or height is zero, a BadValue error results.

       XResizeWindow can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.

       The XMoveResizeWindow function changes the size and loca-
       tion of the specified window without raising it. Moving
       and resizing a mapped window may generate an Expose event
       on the window.  Depending on the new size and location
       parameters, moving and resizing a window may generate
       Expose events on windows that the window formerly
       obscured.

       If the override-redirect flag of the window is False and
       some other client has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on
       the parent, the X server generates a ConfigureRequest
       event, and no further processing is performed.  Otherwise,
       the window size and location are changed.

       XMoveResizeWindow can generate BadValue and BadWindow
       errors.

       The XSetWindowBorderWidth function sets the specified win-
       dow's border width to the specified width.

       XSetWindowBorderWidth can generate a BadWindow error.

STRUCTURES
       The XWindowChanges structure contains:

       /* Configure window value mask bits */
       #define	CWX			 (1<<0)
       #define	CWY			 (1<<1)
       #define	CWWidth		     (1<<2)
       #define	CWHeight		    (1<<3)
       #define	CWBorderWidth		(1<<4)
       #define	CWSibling		   (1<<5)
       #define	CWStackMode		 (1<<6)
       /* Values */

       typedef struct {
	    int x, y;
	    int width, height;
	    int border_width;
	    Window sibling;
	    int stack_mode;
       } XWindowChanges;

       The x and y members are used to set the window's x and y
       coordinates, which are relative to the parent's origin and

XConfigureWindow(3X11)	XLIB FUNCTIONS	 XConfigureWindow(3X11)

       indicate the position of the upper-left outer corner of
       the window.  The width and height members are used to set
       the inside size of the window, not including the border,
       and must be nonzero, or a BadValue error results.
       Attempts to configure a root window have no effect.

       The border_width member is used to set the width of the
       border in pixels.  Note that setting just the border width
       leaves the outer-left corner of the window in a fixed
       position but moves the absolute position of the window's
       origin.	If you attempt to set the border-width attribute
       of an InputOnly window nonzero, a BadMatch error results.

       The sibling member is used to set the sibling window for
       stacking operations.  The stack_mode member is used to set
       how the window is to be restacked and can be set to Above,
       Below, TopIf, BottomIf, or Opposite.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadMatch An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.

       BadMatch Some argument or pair of arguments has the cor-
		 rect type and range but fails to match in some
		 other way required by the request.

       BadValue Some numeric value falls outside the range of
		 values accepted by the request.  Unless a spe-
		 cific range is specified for an argument, the
		 full range defined by the argument's type is
		 accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of
		 alternatives can generate this error.

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