Moves a window to the position `x`, `y`.

The position is relative to the upper left hand corner of the parent window.

Parameters

  win | The window to move.
  x | X position.
  y | Y position.

void ecore_x_window_resize | ( | Ecore_X_Window | win,
|  | int | w,
|  | int | h
| ) |  |

Resizes a window.

Parameters

  win | The window to resize.
  w | New width of the window.
  h | New height of the window.

References ecore_x_sync().

void ecore_x_window_move_resize | ( | Ecore_X_Window | win,
|  | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | w,
|  | int | h
| ) |  |

Moves and resizes a window.

Parameters

  win | The window to move and resize.
  x | New X position of the window.
  y | New Y position of the window.
  w | New width of the window.
  h | New height of the window.

References ecore_x_sync().

int ecore_x_window_border_width_get | ( | Ecore_X_Window | win | ) |

Retrieves the width of the border of the given window.

Parameters

  win | The given window.

Returns
  Width of the border of `win`.

References ecore_x_drawable_border_width_get(), and ecore_x_sync().

void ecore_x_window_border_width_set | ( | Ecore_X_Window | win,
|  | int | width
| ) |  |

Sets the width of the border of the given window.

Parameters

  win | The given window.
  width | The new border width.

References ecore_x_sync().

void ecore_x_window_size_get | ( | Ecore_X_Window | win,
|  | int * | w,
|  | int * | h
| ) |  |

Retrieves the size of the given window.

Parameters

  win | The given window.
  w | Pointer to an integer into which the width is to be stored.
  h | Pointer to an integer into which the height is to be stored.

References ecore_x_drawable_geometry_get(), and ecore_x_sync().

Ecore_X_Window ecore_x_window_root_get | ( | Ecore_X_Window | win | ) |

Retrieves the root window a given window is on.

Parameters

  win | The window to get the root window of

Returns
  The root window of `win`

void ecore_x_window_geometry_get | ( | Ecore_X_Window | win,
|  | int * | x,
|  | int * | y,
|  | int * | w,
|  | int * | h
| ) |  |

Retrieves the geometry of the given window.

Note that the x & y coordingates are relative to your parent. In particular for reparenting window managers - relative to you window border. If you want screen coordinates either walk the window tree to the root, else for ecore_evas applications see ecore_evas_geometry_get(). Elementary applications can use elm_win_screen_position_get().

Parameters

  win | The given window.
  x | Pointer to an integer in which the X position is to be stored.
  y | Pointer to an integer in which the Y position is to be stored.
  w | Pointer to an integer in which the width is to be stored.
  h | Pointer to an integer in which the height is to be stored.

Parameters

  win | The given window.
  x | Pointer to an integer in which the X position is to be stored.
  y | Pointer to an integer in which the Y position is to be stored.
  w | Pointer to an integer in which the width is to be stored.
  h | Pointer to an integer in which the height is to be stored.

Ecore_X_Window ecore_x_window_at_xy_get | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y
| ) |  |

Retrieves the top, visible window at the given location.

Parameters

  x | The given X position.
  y | The given Y position.

Returns
  The window at that position.

Ecore_X_Window ecore_x_window_at_xy_with_skip_get | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | Ecore_X_Window * | skip,
|  | int | skip_num
| ) |  |

Retrieves the top, visible window at the given location, but skips the windows in the list.

Parameters

  x | The given X position.
  y | The given Y position.
  skip | The list of windows to be skipped.
  skip_num | The number of windows to be skipped.

Returns
  The window at that position.

Ecore_X_Window ecore_x_window_shadow_tree_at_xy_with_skip_get | ( | Ecore_X_Window | base,
|  | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | Ecore_X_Window * | skip,
|  | int | skip_num
| ) |  |

Retrieves the top, visible window at the given location, but skips the windows in the list.

This uses a shadow tree built from the window tree that is only updated the first time ecore_x_window_shadow_tree_at_xy_with_skip_get() is called, or the next time it is called after a ecore_x_window_shadow_tree_flush()

Parameters

  base | The base window to start searching from (normally root).
  x | The given X position.
  y | The given Y position.
  skip | The list of windows to be skipped.
  skip_num | The number of windows to be skipped.

Returns
  The window at the desired position.

This uses a shadow tree built from the window tree that is only updated the first time ecore_x_window_shadow_tree_at_xy_with_skip_get() is called, or the next time it is called after a ecore_x_window_shadow_tree_flush()

Parameters

  base | The base window to start searching from (normally root).
  x | The given X position.
  y | The given Y position.
  skip | The list of windows to be skipped.
  skip_num | The number of windows to be skipped.

Ecore_X_Window ecore_x_window_shadow_parent_get | ( | Ecore_X_Window | root,
|  | Ecore_X_Window | win
| ) |  |

Retrieves the parent window a given window has.
