XExposeEvent(3X11)XExposeEvent(3X11)NAMEXExposeEvent - Expose event structure
DESCRIPTION
The structure for Expose events contains:
typedef struct {
int type; /* Expose */
unsigned long serial; /* # of last request processed by
server */
Bool send_event; /* true if this came from a SendEvent
request */
Display *display; /* Display the event was read from */
Window window;
int x, y;
int width, height;
int count; /* if nonzero, at least this many more
*/ } XExposeEvent;
When you receive this event, the structure members are set as follows.
The type member is set to the event type constant name that uniquely
identifies it. For example, when the X server reports a GraphicsExpose
event to a client application, it sends an XGraphicsExposeEvent struc‐
ture with the type member set to GraphicsExpose. The display member is
set to a pointer to the display the event was read on. The send_event
member is set to True if the event came from a SendEvent protocol
request. The serial member is set from the serial number reported in
the protocol but expanded from the 16-bit least-significant bits to a
full 32-bit value. The window member is set to the window that is most
useful to toolkit dispatchers.
The window member is set to the exposed (damaged) window. The x and y
members are set to the coordinates relative to the window's origin and
indicate the upper-left corner of the rectangle. The width and height
members are set to the size (extent) of the rectangle. The count member
is set to the number of Expose events that are to follow. If count is
zero, no more Expose events follow for this window. However, if count
is nonzero, at least that number of Expose events (and possibly more)
follow for this window. Simple applications that do not want to opti‐
mize redisplay by distinguishing between subareas of its window can
just ignore all Expose events with nonzero counts and perform full
redisplays on events with zero counts.
