NAME

6       XTranslateCoordinates - translate window coordinates
7

SYNTAX

9       Bool  XTranslateCoordinates(Display *display, Window src_w, dest_w, int
10              src_x, int src_y, int *dest_x_return, int *dest_y_return, Window
11              *child_return);
12

ARGUMENTS

14       child_return
15                 Returns  the  child  if  the  coordinates  are contained in a
16                 mapped child of the destination window.
17
18       dest_w    Specifies the destination window.
19
20       dest_x_return
21       dest_y_return
22                 Return the x and y coordinates within the destination window.
23
24       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.
25
26       src_w     Specifies the source window.
27
28       src_x
29       src_y     Specify the x and y coordinates within the source window.

DESCRIPTION

32       If XTranslateCoordinates returns True, it takes  the  src_x  and  src_y
33       coordinates  relative  to  the source window's origin and returns these
34       coordinates to dest_x_return and dest_y_return relative to the destina‐
35       tion  window's  origin.   If XTranslateCoordinates returns False, src_w
36       and  dest_w  are  on   different   screens,   and   dest_x_return   and
37       dest_y_return  are  zero.  If the coordinates are contained in a mapped
38       child of dest_w, that child is returned  to  child_return.   Otherwise,
39       child_return is set to None.

41       XTranslateCoordinates can generate a BadWindow error.
