PARSE GEOMETRY

OpenVMS Format

mask_return = X$PARSE_GEOMETRY

(parse_string, [x_coord_return], [y_coord_return], [width_return], [height_return])

Argument Information
Argument Usage Data Type Access Mechanism
mask_return mask_longword uns longword write value
parse_string char_string character string read descriptor
x_coord_return longword longword write reference
y_coord_return longword longword write reference
width_return longword uns longword write reference
height_return longword uns longword write reference

Returns

mask_return

A bit mask that specifies which of four values (width, height, x-offset, and y-offset) were actually found in the string, and whether the x and y values are negative. Each bit indicates whether the corresponding value was found in the parsed string. For each value found, the corresponding argument is updated; for each value not found, the argument is left unchanged.

Table 2-6 lists the predefined values and their descriptions for the mask.

Table 2-6 Parse Mask Bits
Bit OpenVMS Description
1 X$M_NO_VALUE Reserved
2 X$M_X_VALUE The x-coordinate of the origin of a window
3 X$M_Y_VALUE The y-coordinate of the origin of a window
4 X$M_WIDTH_VALUE The width of the window in pixels
5 X$M_HEIGHT_VALUE The height of the window in pixels
6 X$M_ALL_VALUES Indicates if all values are present
7 X$M_X_NEGATIVE_VALUE Indicates if the x-coordinate is negative
8 X$M_Y_NEGATIVE_VALUE Indicates if the y-coordinate is negative

Arguments

parse_string

The name of the string that you want to parse. The parse_string argument is the address of a character string descriptor that points to the string.

x_coord_return

The x-coordinate to which to return the x-offset from the specified string. This coordinate is relative to the origin of the drawable. This argument is optional.

y_coord_return

The y-coordinate to which to return the y-offset from the specified string. This coordinate is relative to the origin of the drawable. This argument is optional.

width_return

The width, in pixels, from the specified string. This argument is optional.

height_return

The height, in pixels, from the specified string. This argument is optional.
