SYNTAX

       XtGeometryResult XtMakeGeometryRequest(Widget w, XtWidgetGeometry
              *request, XtWidgetGeometry *reply_return);

       XtGeometryResult XtMakeResizeRequest(Widget w, Dimension width, height,
              Dimension *width_return, Dimension *height_return);

ARGUMENTS

       reply_return
                 Returns the allowed widget size or may be NULL if the
                 requesting widget is not interested in handling XtGeometryAl-
                 most.

       request   Specifies the desired widget geometry (size, position, border
                 width, and stacking order).

       w         Specifies the widget that is making the request.

       width_return
       height_return
                 Return the allowed widget width and height.

DESCRIPTION

       Depending on the condition, XtMakeGeometryRequest performs the follow-
       ing:

       o    If the widget is unmanaged or the widget's parent is not realized,
            it makes the changes and returns XtGeometryYes.

       o    If the parent is not a subclass of compositeWidgetClass or the
            parent's geometry_manager is NULL, it issues an error.

       o    If the widget's being_destroyed field is True, it returns XtGeome-
            tryNo.

       o    If the widget x, y, width, height and border_width fields are all
            equal to the requested values, it returns XtGeometryYes; other-
            wise, it calls the parent's geometry_manager procedure with the
            given parameters.

       o    If the parent's geometry manager returns XtGeometryYes and if
            XtCWQueryOnly is not set in the request_mode and if the widget is
            realized, XtMakeGeometryRequest calls the XConfigureWindow Xlib
            function to reconfigure the widget's window (set its size, loca-
            tion, and stacking order as appropriate).

       o    If the geometry manager returns XtGeometryDone, the change has
            been approved and actually has been done.  In this case, XtMake-
            GeometryRequest does no configuring and returns XtGeometryYes.
            XtMakeGeometryRequest never returns XtGeometryDone.

       ResizeRequest and request that the compromise width and height be
       applied.  If the widget is not interested in XtGeometryAlmost replies,
       it can pass NULL for width_return and height_return.
