ARGUMENTS

23       class     Specifies the class that you are interested in.  You can pass
24                 TileShape, CursorShape, or StippleShape.
25
26       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.
27
28       width
29       height    Specify the width and height.
30
31       which_screen
32                 Specifies any drawable on the screen.
33
34       width_return
35       height_return
36                 Return  the  width and height of the object best supported by
37                 the display hardware.

DESCRIPTION

40       The XQueryBestSize function returns the best or  closest  size  to  the
41       specified  size.  For CursorShape, this is the largest size that can be
42       fully displayed on the screen specified  by  which_screen.   For  Tile‐
43       Shape,  this  is the size that can be tiled fastest.  For StippleShape,
44       this is the size that can be stippled fastest.   For  CursorShape,  the
45       drawable indicates the desired screen.  For TileShape and StippleShape,
46       the drawable indicates the screen and possibly  the  window  class  and
47       depth.   An  InputOnly  window cannot be used as the drawable for Tile‐
48       Shape or StippleShape, or a BadMatch error results.
49
50       XQueryBestSize can generate BadDrawable, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.
51
52       The XQueryBestTile function returns the best or closest size, that  is,
53       the  size  that  can  be  tiled  fastest  on  the  screen  specified by
54       which_screen.  The drawable indicates the screen and possibly the  win‐
55       dow class and depth.  If an InputOnly window is used as the drawable, a
56       BadMatch error results.
57
58       XQueryBestTile can generate BadDrawable and BadMatch errors.
59
60       The XQueryBestStipple function returns the best or closest  size,  that
61       is,  the  size  that can be stippled fastest on the screen specified by
62       which_screen.  The drawable indicates the screen and possibly the  win‐
63       dow class and depth.  If an InputOnly window is used as the drawable, a
64       BadMatch error results.
65
66       XQueryBestStipple can generate BadDrawable and BadMatch errors.

DIAGNOSTICS

69       BadMatch  An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.
70
71       BadDrawable
72                 A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined  Win‐
73                 dow or Pixmap.
74
75       BadMatch  The values do not exist for an InputOnly window.
76
77       BadValue  Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted
78                 by the request.  Unless a specific range is specified for  an
79                 argument,  the  full  range defined by the argument's type is
80                 accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of alternatives  can
81                 generate this error.
