NAME
  XtQueryGeometry - query the preferred geometry of a child widget

SYNTAX
  XtGeometryResult XtQueryGeometry(w, intended, preferred_return)
       Widget w;
       XtWidgetGeometry *intended, *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 correspond-
  ing 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 pro-
  cedure and passes as arguments the specified widget, intended, and
  preferred_return structures.	If the intended argument is NULL, XtQuery-
  Geometry replaces it with a pointer to an XtWidgetGeometry structure with
  request_mode=0 before calling query_geometry.
