<Title>DESCRIPTION</Title>
<Para>The
<Symbol Role="Message">Get_Geometry</Symbol> request
reports the on-screen geometry of the optionally specified
window, or of the window primarily associated with the recipient
procid (if no window is specified).
</Para>
<Para>The
<Symbol Role="Variable">w</Symbol>, <Emphasis>h</Emphasis>, <Symbol Role="Variable">x</Symbol> and
<Symbol Role="Variable">y</Symbol> arguments are integer geometry values, in pixels,
representing width, height, x-coordinate and y-coordinate,
respectively.
Negative offset values
are interpreted according to the
<![ %CDE.C.CDE; [<Filename MoreInfo="RefEntry">X11</Filename>(7) man page.
]]><![ %CDE.C.XO; [&str-Zl;.
