XWarpPointer(3X11) X11R5 XWarpPointer(3X11)NAMEXWarpPointer - move pointer
SYNTAX
XWarpPointer(display, src_w, dest_w, src_x, src_y, src_width,
src_height, dest_x,
dest_y)
Display *display;
Window src_w, dest_w;
int src_x, src_y;
unsigned int src_width, src_height;
int dest_x, dest_y;
ARGUMENTS
dest_w Specifies the destination window or
dest_x
dest_y Specify the x and y coordinates within the destination win‐
dow.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
src_x
src_y
src_width
src_height
Specify a rectangle in the source window.
src_w Specifies the source window or
DESCRIPTION
If dest_w is moves the pointer by the offsets (dest_x, dest_y) relative
to the current position of the pointer. If dest_w is a window, moves
the pointer to the offsets (dest_x, dest_y) relative to the origin of
dest_w. However, if src_w is a window, the move only takes place if
the window src_w contains the pointer and if the specified rectangle of
src_w contains the pointer.
The src_x and src_y coordinates are relative to the origin of src_w.
If src_height is zero, it is replaced with the current height of src_w
minus src_y. If src_width is zero, it is replaced with the current
width of src_w minus src_x.
There is seldom any reason for calling this function. The pointer
should normally be left to the user. If you do use this function, how‐
ever, it generates events just as if the user had instantaneously moved
the pointer from one position to another. Note that you cannot use to
move the pointer outside the confine_to window of an active pointer
grab. An attempt to do so will only move the pointer as far as the
closest edge of the confine_to window.
can generate a error.
DIAGNOSTICS
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
