DMXGetDesktopAttributes(3)


NAME

   DMXGetDesktopAttributes - determine global bounding box

SYNOPSIS

   #include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>

   Bool DMXGetDesktopAttributes(Display *dpy,
                                DMXDesktopAttributes *attr);

DESCRIPTION

   DMXGetDesktopAttributes()  returns  information  about  the  desktop in
   DMXDesktopAttributes:

   typedef struct {
       unsigned int width;
       unsigned int height;
       int          shiftX;
       int          shiftY;
   } DMXDesktopAttributes;

   The size of the global bounding box is given in width, and height.  The
   shiftX  and shiftY values will always be 0.  The global bounding box is
   computed whether or not Xinerama is active, but it is only useful  when
   using Xinerama.

   The global bounding box used by Xdmx(1) may be larger than the Xinerama
   screen size because of information in the configuration file.

RETURN VALUE

   DMXGetDesktopAttributes() returns  True  unless  there  is  a  protocol
   error.
