NAME
       XtQueryGeometry - query the preferred geometry of a child widget

SYNTAX
       XtGeometryResult XtQueryGeometry(Widget w, XtWidgetGeometry *intended,
	      XtWidgetGeometry *preferred_return);

ARGUMENTS
       intended  Specifies any changes the parent plans to make to the child's
		 geometry or NULL.

       preferred_return
		 Returns the child widget's preferred geometry.

       w	 Specifies the widget.

DESCRIPTION
       To discover a child's preferred geometry, the child's parent sets any
       changes that it intends to make to the child's geometry in the corre-
       sponding fields of the intended structure, sets the corresponding bits
       in intended.request_mode, and calls XtQueryGeometry.

       XtQueryGeometry clears all bits in the preferred_return->request_mode
       and checks the query_geometry field of the specified widget's class
       record.	If query_geometry is not NULL, XtQueryGeometry calls the
       query_geometry procedure and passes as arguments the specified widget,
       intended, and preferred_return structures.  If the intended argument is
       NULL, XtQueryGeometry replaces it with a pointer to an XtWidgetGeometry
       structure with request_mode=0 before calling query_geometry.
