The
<function>XSetStandardProperties</function>
function provides a means by which simple applications set the
most essential properties with a single call.
<function>XSetStandardProperties</function>
should be used to give a window manager some information about 
your program's preferences. 
It should not be used by applications that need
to communicate more information than is possible with
<function>XSetStandardProperties</function>.
(Typically, argv is the argv array of your main program.)
If the strings are not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
the result is implementation-dependent.

The
<function>XSetNormalHints</function>
function sets the size hints structure for the specified window.
Applications use
<function>XSetNormalHints</function>
to inform the window manager of the size
or position desirable for that window.
In addition, 
an application that wants to move or resize itself should call
<function>XSetNormalHints</function>
and specify its new desired location and size
as well as making direct Xlib calls to move or resize.  
This is because window managers may ignore redirected
configure requests, but they pay attention to property changes.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
To set size hints, 
an application not only must assign values to the appropriate members
in the hints structure but also must set the flags member of the structure 
to indicate which information is present and where it came from.  
A call to
<function>XSetNormalHints</function>
is meaningless, unless the flags member is set to indicate which members of
the structure have been assigned values.

You pass in the border width (bwidth),
size of the increments fwidth and fheight
(typically font width and height),
and any additional interior space (xadder and yadder)
to make it easy to compute the resulting size.
The
<function>XGeometry</function>
function returns the position the window should be placed given a position and
a default position.
<function>XGeometry</function>
determines the placement of
a window using a geometry specification as specified by
<function>XParseGeometry</function>
and the additional information about the window.
Given a fully qualified default geometry specification and
an incomplete geometry specification, 
<function>XParseGeometry</function>
returns a bitmask value as defined above in the 
<function>XParseGeometry</function>
call,
by using the position argument.

The returned width and height will be the width and height specified
by default_position as overridden by any user-specified position.
They are not affected by fwidth, fheight, xadder, or yadder.
The x and y coordinates are computed by using the border width,
the screen width and height, padding as specified by xadder and yadder,
and the fheight and fwidth times the width and height from the
geometry specifications.

Xlib provides functions that you can use to draw or fill
arbitrary polygons or curves.  
These functions are provided mainly for compatibility with X Version 10

That is, they call other Xlib functions, not the server directly.

These functions have been superseded by the context management functions
(see section 16.10). 
It is often necessary to associate arbitrary information with resource IDs.
Xlib provides the 
<function>XAssocTable</function>
functions that you can use to make such an association.
<indexterm><primary>Hash Lookup</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm><primary>Window</primary><secondary>IDs</secondary></indexterm>
<indexterm><primary>Resource IDs</primary></indexterm>
Application programs often need to be able to easily refer to
their own data structures when an event arrives.
The 
<function>XAssocTable</function>
system provides users of the X library with a method
for associating their own data structures with X resources
(<type>Pixmap</type>s,
<type>Font</type>s,
<type>Window</type>s,
and so on).
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
An 
<function>XAssocTable</function>
can be used to type X resources.  
For example, the user
may want to have three or four types of windows,
each with different properties. 
This can be accomplished by associating each X window ID
with a pointer to a window property data structure  defined  by  the
user.
A generic type has been defined in the X library for resource IDs.
It is called an XID.
</para>

There are a few  guidelines  that  should be observed when using an
<function>XAssocTable</function> :

    <para>
Because  of  the  hashing  scheme  used  by  the  association mechanism,
the following rules for determining the size of a
<function>XAssocTable</function>
should be followed.  
Associations will be  made  and  looked  up  more
efficiently  if  the  table  size  (number  of  buckets in the hashing
system) is a power of two and if there are not more than 8 XIDs  per
bucket.

<para>
<!-- .LP -->
<!-- .eM -->
The size argument specifies the number of buckets in the 
hash system of
<function>XAssocTable</function>.
For  reasons  of  efficiency  the number of buckets
should be a power of two.
Some size  suggestions  might  be:  use  32 buckets  per  100  objects,
and a reasonable maximum number of objects per buckets is 8.
If  an  error  allocating  memory  for  the
<function>XAssocTable</function>
occurs, 
a NULL pointer is returned.
