XkbAddGeomSection(3)                            XKB FUNCTIONS                           XkbAddGeomSection(3)



NAME
       XkbAddGeomSection - Add one section to an existing keyboard geometry

SYNOPSIS
       XkbSectionPtr XkbAddGeomSection ( geom, name, sz_rows, sz_doodads, sz_overlays )
             XkbGeometryPtr geom;
             Atom name;
             int sz_rows;
             int sz_doodads;
             int sz_overlays;

ARGUMENTS
       - geom geometry to be updated

       - name name of the new section

       - sz_rows
              number of rows to reserve in the section

       - sz_doodads
              number of doodads to reserve in the section

       - sz_overlays
              number of overlays to reserve in the section

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.

       A keyboard geometry contains an arbitrary number of sections.  XkbAddGeomSection adds one section  to
       an  existing keyboard geometry geom.  The new section contains space for the number of rows, doodads,
       and overlays specified by sz_rows, sz_doodads, and sz_overlays.  The new  section  is  allocated  and
       zeroed and given the name specified by name.  If a section with name name already exists in the geom-etry, geometry,
       etry, a pointer to the existing section is returned.  XkbAddGeomSection returns NULL if  any  of  the
       parameters is empty or if it was not able to allocate space for the section. To allocate space for an
       arbitrary number of sections to a geometry, use XkbAllocGeomSections.

STRUCTURES
       typedef struct _XkbSection {
           Atom                    name;        /* section name */
           unsigned char           priority;    /* drawing priority, 0=>highest, 255=>lowest */
           short                   top;         /* top coordinate of section origin */
           short                   left;        /* left coordinate of row origin */
           unsigned short          width;       /* section width, in mm/10 */
           unsigned short          height;      /* section height, in mm/10 */
           short                   angle;       /* angle of section rotation, counterclockwise */
           unsigned short          num_rows;    /* number of rows in the rows array */
           unsigned short          num_doodads; /* number of doodads in the doodads array */
           unsigned short          num_overlays; /* number of overlays in the overlays array */
           unsigned short          sz_rows;      /* size of the rows array */
           unsigned short          sz_doodads;   /* size of the doodads array */
           unsigned short          sz_overlays;  /* size of the overlays array */
           XkbRowPtr               rows;         /* section rows array */
           XkbDoodadPtr            doodads;      /* section doodads array */
           XkbBoundsRec            bounds;       /* bounding box for the section, before rotation*/
           XkbOverlayPtr           overlays;     /* section overlays array */
       } XkbSectionRec, *XkbSectionPtr;

       top and left are the origin of the section, relative to the origin of the keyboard, in  mm/10.  angle
       is in 1/10 degrees.
