12 Tk_ManageGeometry(tkwin, mgrPtr, clientData)
14
16 Tk_Window tkwin (in) Token for window to be man‐
17 aged.
18 const Tk_GeomMgr *mgrPtr (in) Pointer to data structure con‐
20 taining information about the
21 geometry manager, or NULL to
22 indicate that tkwin's geometry
23 should not be managed anymore.
24 The data structure pointed to
25 by mgrPtr must be static: Tk
26 keeps a reference to it as
27 long as the window is managed.
28 ClientData clientData (in) Arbitrary one-word value to
30 pass to geometry manager call‐
31 backs.

35 Tk_ManageGeometry arranges for a particular geometry manager, described
36 by the mgrPtr argument, to control the geometry of a particular content
37 window, given by tkwin. If tkwin was previously managed by some other
38 geometry manager, the previous manager loses control in favor of the
39 new one. If mgrPtr is NULL, geometry management is cancelled for tk‐
40 win.
41 The structure pointed to by mgrPtr contains information about the geom‐
43 etry manager:
44 typedef struct {
45 const char *name;
46 Tk_GeomRequestProc *requestProc;
47 Tk_GeomLostSlaveProc *lostSlaveProc;
48 } Tk_GeomMgr;
49 The name field is the textual name for the geometry manager, such as
50 pack or place; this value will be returned by the command winfo man‐
51 ager.
52 requestProc is a procedure in the geometry manager that will be invoked
54 whenever Tk_GeometryRequest is called by the content window to change
55 its desired geometry. requestProc should have arguments and results
56 that match the type Tk_GeomRequestProc:
57 typedef void Tk_GeomRequestProc(
58 ClientData clientData,
59 Tk_Window tkwin);
60 The parameters to requestProc will be identical to the corresponding
61 parameters passed to Tk_ManageGeometry. clientData usually points to a
62 data structure containing application-specific information about how to
63 manage tkwin's geometry.
64 The lostSlaveProc field of mgrPtr points to another procedure in the
66 geometry manager. Tk will invoke lostSlaveProc if some other manager
67 calls Tk_ManageGeometry to claim tkwin away from the current geometry
68 manager. lostSlaveProc is not invoked if Tk_ManageGeometry is called
69 with a NULL value for mgrPtr (presumably the current geometry manager
70 has made this call, so it already knows that the window is no longer
71 managed), nor is it called if mgrPtr is the same as the window's cur‐
72 rent geometry manager. lostSlaveProc should have arguments and results
73 that match the following prototype:
74 typedef void Tk_GeomLostSlaveProc(
75 ClientData clientData,
76 Tk_Window tkwin);
77 The parameters to lostSlaveProc will be identical to the corresponding
78 parameters passed to Tk_ManageGeometry.
