XkbAddGeomDoodad(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAddGeomDoodad(3)
NAME
XkbAddGeomDoodad - Add one doodad to a section of a keyboard geometry or
to the top-level geometry
SYNOPSIS
XkbDoodadPtr XkbAddGeomDoodad (XkbGeometryPtr geom, XkbSectionPtr sec-
tion, Atom name);
ARGUMENTS
geom geometry to which the doodad is added
section
section, if any, to which the doodad is added
name name of the new doodad
DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level key-
board geometry. In each case the num_ * fields of the corresponding
structure is incremented by 1. These functions do not change sz_* unless
there is no more room in the array. Some of these functions fill in the
values of the element's structure from the arguments. For other func-
tions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's elements.
The top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry proper-
ties. A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with an
equally arbitrary name. Programs that display images of keyboards can
use geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by Xkb.
No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties.
A doodad describes some visible aspect of the keyboard that is not a key
and is not a section. XkbAddGeomDoodad adds a doodad with name speci-
fied by name to the geometry geom if section is NULL or to the section
of the geometry specified by section if section is not NULL. XkbAddGe-
omDoodad returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it was not
able to allocate space for the doodad. If there is already a doodad with
the name name in the doodad array for the geometry (if section is NULL)
or the section (if section is non-NULL), a pointer to that doodad is re-
turned. To allocate space for an arbitrary number of doodads to a sec-
tion, use the XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads function. To allocate space for
an arbitrary number of doodads to a keyboard geometry, use the XkbAlloc-
GeomDoodads function.
