gdkWindowSetGeometryHints: gdkWindowSetGeometryHints
Description
Sets the geometry hints for window. Hints flagged in geom.mask
are set, hints not flagged in geom.mask are unset.
To unset all hints, use a geom.mask of 0 and a geometry of NULL.Usage
gdkWindowSetGeometryHints(object, geometry)
Details
This function provides hints to the windowing system about
acceptable sizes for a toplevel window. The purpose of
this is to constrain user resizing, but the windowing system
will typically (but is not required to) also constrain the
current size of the window to the provided values and
constrain programatic resizing via gdkWindowResize or
gdkWindowMoveResize.
Note that on X11, this effect has no effect on windows
of type GDK_WINDOW_TEMP or windows where override redirect
has been turned on via gdkWindowSetOverrideRedirect
since these windows are not resizable by the user.
Since you can't count on the windowing system doing the
constraints for programmatic resizes, you should generally
call gdkWindowConstrainSize yourself to determine
appropriate sizes.
