XkbAddGeomKey(3)                                XKB FUNCTIONS                               XkbAddGeomKey(3)



NAME
       XkbAddGeomKey - Add one key at the end of an existing row of keys

SYNOPSIS
       XkbKeyPtr XkbAddGeomKey ( row )
             XkbRowPtr row;

ARGUMENTS
       - row  row to be updated

DESCRIPTION
       Xkb  provides  functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard geometry. In each case
       the num_ * fields of the corresponding structure is incremented by 1. These functions do  not  change
       sz_*  unless  there  is  no more room in the array. Some of these functions fill in the values of the
       element's structure from the arguments. For other functions, you must explicitly write code  to  fill
       the structure's elements.

       The top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry properties.  A geometry property asso-ciates associates
       ciates an arbitrary string with an equally arbitrary name. Programs that display images of  keyboards
       can  use  geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry struc-tures structures
       tures refer to geometry properties.

       Keys are grouped into rows.  XkbAddGeomKey adds one key to the end of the specified row.  The key  is
       allocated  and  zeroed.  XkbAddGeomKey returns NULL if row is empty or if it was not able to allocate
       space for the key. To allocate space for an arbitrary number of keys to a row, use  XkbAllocGeomKeys.

STRUCTURES
           typedef struct _XkbKey {              /* key in a row */
               XkbKeyNameRec   name;             /* key name */
               short           gap;              /* gap in mm/10 from previous key in row */
               unsigned char   shape_ndx;        /* index of shape for key */
               unsigned char   color_ndx;        /* index of color for key body */
           } XkbKeyRec, *XkbKeyPtr;
