NAME
Tk_GetRootCoords - Compute root-window coordinates of window
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Tk_GetRootCoords(tkwin, xPtr, yPtr)
ARGUMENTS
Tk_Window tkwin (in) Token for window.
- int
- *xPtr (out) Pointer to location in which to store root-window xcoordinate corresponding to left edge of tkwin's border.
- int
- *yPtr (out) Pointer to location in which to store root-window ycoordinate corresponding to top edge of tkwin's border.
DESCRIPTION
This procedure scans through the structural information maintained by Tk to compute the root-window coordinates corresponding to the upper-left corner of tkwin's border. If tkwin has no border, then Tk_GetRootCoords returns the root-window coordinates corresponding to location (0,0) in tkwin. Tk_GetRootCoords is relatively efficient, since it doesn't have to communicate with the X server.
