NAME

       XIWarpPointer - move a deviceĀ“s pointer.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <X11/extensions/XInput2.h>

       Bool XIWarpPointer( Display *display,
                           int deviceid,
                           Window src_w,
                           Window dest_w,
                           double src_x,
                           double src_y,
                           int src_width,
                           int src_height,
                           double dest_x,
                           double dest_y);

       dest_w
              Specifies the destination window or None.

       dest_x, dest_y
              Specify the x and y coordinates within the destination
              window.

       deviceid
              Specifies the master pointer device or floating slave
              device to move.

       display
              Specifies the connection to the X server.

       src_x, src_y, src_width, src_height
              Specify a rectangle in the source window.

       src_w
              Specifies the source window or None.

DESCRIPTION

           If dest_w is None, XIWarpPointer moves the pointer by the
           offsets (dest_x, dest_y) relative to the current position of
           the pointer. If dest_w is a window, XIWarpPointer moves the
           pointer to the offsets (dest_x, dest_y) relative to the origin
           of dest_w. However, if src_w is a window, the move only takes
           place if the window src_w contains the pointer and if the
           specified rectangle of src_w contains the pointer.

           The src_x and src_y coordinates are relative to the origin of
           src_w. If src_height is zero, it is replaced with the current
           height of src_w minus src_y. If src_width is zero, it is
           replaced with the current width of src_w minus src_x.

           There is seldom any reason for calling this function. The
           pointer should normally be left to the user. If you do use this
           function, however, it generates events just as if the user had
           instantaneously moved the pointer from one position to another.
           Note that you cannot use XIWarpPointer to move the pointer
           outside the confine_to window of an active pointer grab. An
           attempt to do so will only move the pointer as far as the
           closest edge of the confine_to window.

           XIWarpPointer is identical to XWarpPointer but specifies the
           device explicitly.

           XIWarpPointer can generate a BadDevice and a BadWindow error.

DIAGNOSTICS

           BadDevice
                  An invalid device was specified. The device does not
                  exist or is not a pointer device.

           BadWindow
                  A value for a Window argument does not name a defined
                  window.
