XReparentWindow(3X11)	  XLIB FUNCTIONS    XReparentWindow(3X11)


NAME
       XReparentWindow - reparent windows

SYNTAX
       XReparentWindow(display, w, parent, x, y)
	     Display *display;
	     Window w;
	     Window parent;
	     int x, y;

ARGUMENTS
       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       parent	 Specifies the parent window.

       w	 Specifies the window.

       x
       y	 Specify the x and y coordinatesof the position
		 in the new parent window.

DESCRIPTION
       If the specified window is mapped, XReparentWindow auto
       matically performs an UnmapWindow request on it, removes
       it from its current position in the hierarchy, and inserts
       it as the child of the specified parent.	 The window is
       placed in the stacking order on top with respect to sib
       ling windows.

       After reparenting the specified window, XReparentWindow
       causes the X server to generate a ReparentNotify event.
       The override_redirect member returned in this event is set
       to the window's corresponding attribute.	 Window manager
       clients usually should ignore this window if this member
       is set to True.	Finally, if the specified window was
       originally mapped, the X server automatically performs a
       MapWindow request on it.

       The X server performs normal exposure processing on for
       merly obscured windows.	The X server might not generate
       Expose events for regions from the initial UnmapWindow
       request that are immediately obscured by the final MapWin_
       dow request.  A BadMatch error results if:

	   The new parent window is not on the same screen as
	    the old parent window.

	   The new parent window is the specified window or an
	    inferior of the specified window.

	   The new parent is InputOnly, and the window is not.

	   The specified window has a ParentRelative background,
	    and the new parent window is not the same depth as
