XWarpPointer(3) Library Functions Manual XWarpPointer(3) NAME XWarpPointer - move pointer SYNTAX int XWarpPointer(Display *display, Window src_w, Window dest_w, int src_x, int src_y, unsigned int src_width, unsigned int src_height, int dest_x, int dest_y); ARGUMENTS dest_w Specifies the destination window or None. dest_x dest_y Specify the x and y coordinates within the destination win- dow. display Specifies the connection to the X server. src_x src_y src_width src_height Specify a rectangle in the source window. src_w 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 BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window. SEE ALSO XSetInputFocus(3) Xlib - C Language X Interface XLIB FUNCTIONS X Version 11 XWarpPointer(3)
