\fIborder_width\fP 1i +Specifies the width of the created window's border in pixels. +.IP \fIclass\fP 1i +Specifies the created window's class. +You can pass +.ZN InputOutput , +.ZN InputOnly , +or +.ZN CopyFromParent . +A class of +.ZN CopyFromParent +means the class +is taken from the parent. +.IP \fIdepth\fP 1i +Specifies the window's depth. +A depth of +.ZN CopyFromParent +means the depth is taken from the parent. +.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i +Specifies the connection to the X server. +.IP \fIparent\fP 1i +Specifies the parent window. +.IP \fIvaluemask\fP 1i +Specifies which window attributes are defined in the attributes +argument. +This mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid attribute mask bits. +If valuemask is zero, +the attributes are ignored and are not referenced. +.IP \fIvisual\fP 1i +Specifies the visual type. +A visual of +.ZN CopyFromParent +means the visual type is taken from the +parent. +.ds Wh , which are the created window's inside dimensions \ +and do not include the created window's borders +.IP \fIwidth\fP 1i +.br +.ns +.IP \fIheight\fP 1i +Specify the width and height\*(Wh. +.ds Xy , which are the top-left outside corner of the window's \ +borders and are relative to the inside of the parent window's borders +.IP \fIx\fP 1i +.br +.ns +.IP \fIy\fP 1i +Specify the x and y coordinates\*(Xy. +.SH DESCRIPTION +The +.ZN XCreateWindow +function creates an unmapped subwindow for a specified parent window, +returns the window ID of the created window, +and causes the X server to generate a +.ZN CreateNotify +event. +The created window is placed on top in the stacking order +with respect to siblings. +.LP +The coordinate system has the X axis horizontal and the Y axis vertical +with the origin [0, 0] at the upper-left corner. +Coordinates are integral, +in terms of pixels, +and coincide with pixel centers. +Each window and pixmap has its own coordinate system. +For a window, +the origin is inside the border at the inside, upper-left corner. +.LP +The border_width for an +.ZN InputOnly +window must be zero, or a +.ZN BadMatch +error results. +For class +.ZN InputOutput , +the visual type and depth must be a combination supported for the screen, +or a +.ZN BadMatch +error results. +The depth need not be the same as the parent, +but the parent must not be a window of class +.ZN InputOnly , +or a +.ZN BadMatch +error results. +For an +.ZN InputOnly +window, +the depth must be zero, and the visual must be one supported by the screen. +If either condition is not met, +a +.ZN BadMatch +error results. +The parent window, however, may have any depth and class. +If you specify any invalid window attribute for a window, a +.ZN BadMatch +error results. +.LP +The created window is not yet displayed (mapped) on the user's display. +To display the window, call +.ZN XMapWindow . +The new window initially uses the same cursor as +its parent. +A new cursor can be defined for the new window by calling +.ZN XDefineCursor . +.IN "Cursor" "Initial State" +.IN "XDefineCursor" +The window will not be visible on the screen unless it and all of its +ancestors are mapped and it is not obscured by any of its ancestors. +.LP +.ZN XCreateWindow +can generate +.ZN BadAlloc +.ZN BadColor , +.ZN BadCursor , +.ZN BadMatch , +.ZN BadPixmap , +.ZN BadValue , +and +.ZN BadWindow +errors. +.LP +The +.ZN XCreateSimpleWindow +function creates an unmapped +.ZN InputOutput +subwindow for a specified parent window, returns the +window ID of the created window, and causes the X server to generate a +.ZN CreateNotify +event. +The created window is placed on top in the stacking order with respect to +siblings. +Any part of the window that extends outside its parent window is clipped. +The border_width for an +.ZN InputOnly +window must be zero, or a +.ZN BadMatch +error results. +.ZN XCreateSimpleWindow +inherits its depth, class, and visual from its parent. +All other window attributes, except background and border, +have their default values. +.LP +.ZN XCreateSimpleWindow +can generate +.ZN BadAlloc , +.ZN BadMatch , +.ZN BadValue , +and +.ZN BadWindow +errors. +.SH STRUCTURES +The +.ZN
