NAME
XWarpPointer - move pointer
SYNOPSIS
XWarpPointer(display, src_w, dest_w, src_x, src_y, src_width,
src_height, dest_x, dest_y)
Display *display;
Window src_w, dest_w;
int src_x, src_y;
unsigned int src_width, src_height;
int dest_x, dest_y;
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the destination window or None. Specify the x and y coordi-
nates within the destination window. Specifies the connection to the X
server. Specify a rectangle in the source window. Specifies the
source window or None.
DESCRIPTION
If dest_w is None, XWarpPointer moves the pointer by the offsets
(dest_x, dest_y) relative to the current position of the pointer. If
dest_w is a window, XWarpPointer moves the pointer to the offsets
(dest_x, dest_y) relative to the origin of dest_w. However, if src_w is
a window, the move only takes place if the window src_w contains the
pointer and if the specified rectangle of src_w contains the pointer.
The src_x and src_y coordinates are relative to the origin of src_w.
If src_height is zero, it is replaced with the current height of src_w
minus src_y. If src_width is zero, it is replaced with the current
width of src_w minus src_x.
There is seldom any reason for calling this function. The pointer
should normally be left to the user. If you do use this function, how-
ever, it generates events just as if the user had instantaneously moved
the pointer from one position to another. Note that you cannot use
XWarpPointer to move the pointer outside the confine_to window of an
active pointer grab. An attempt to do so will only move the pointer as
far as the closest edge of the confine_to window.
XWarpPointer can generate a BadWindow error.
DIAGNOSTICS
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
