839 geometry string to an alist that you can use as part of the argument to |
6547 | 840 @code{make-frame}. |
841 | |
842 The alist describes which parameters were specified in @var{geom}, and | |
843 gives the values specified for them. Each element looks like | |
844 @code{(@var{parameter} . @var{value})}. The possible @var{parameter} | |
845 values are @code{left}, @code{top}, @code{width}, and @code{height}. | |
846 | |
12067 | 847 For the size parameters, the value must be an integer. The position |
848 parameter names @code{left} and @code{top} are not totally accurate, | |
849 because some values indicate the position of the right or bottom edges | |
850 instead. These are the @var{value} possibilities for the position | |
851 parameters: | |
852 | |
853 @table @asis | |
854 @item an integer | |
855 A positive integer relates the left edge or top edge of the window to | |
856 the left or top edge of the screen. A negative integer relates the | |
857 right or bottom edge of the window to the right or bottom edge of the | |
858 screen. | |
859 | |
12098 | 860 @item @code{(+ @var{position})} |
12067 | 861 This specifies the position of the left or top edge of the window |
862 relative to the left or top edge of the screen. The integer | |
863 @var{position} may be positive or negative; a negative value specifies a | |
864 position outside the screen. | |
865 | |
12098 | 866 @item @code{(- @var{position})} |
12067 | 867 This specifies the position of the right or bottom edge of the window |
868 relative to the right or bottom edge of the screen. The integer | |
869 @var{position} may be positive or negative; a negative value specifies a | |
870 position outside the screen. | |

1156 events intended for @var{frame}. After such an event, the value of |
6547 | 1157 @code{last-event-frame} will be @var{focus-frame}. Also, switch-frame |
1158 events specifying @var{frame} will instead select @var{focus-frame}. | |
1159 | |
54030 | 1160 If @var{focus-frame} is omitted or @code{nil}, that cancels any existing |
6547 | 1161 redirection for @var{frame}, which therefore once again receives its own |
1162 events. | |
1163 | |
1164 One use of focus redirection is for frames that don't have minibuffers. | |
1165 These frames use minibuffers on other frames. Activating a minibuffer | |
1166 on another frame redirects focus to that frame. This puts the focus on | |
1167 the minibuffer's frame, where it belongs, even though the mouse remains | |

1168 in the frame that activated the minibuffer. |
6547 | 1169 |
1170 Selecting a frame can also change focus redirections. Selecting frame | |
1171 @code{bar}, when @code{foo} had been selected, changes any redirections | |
1172 pointing to @code{foo} so that they point to @code{bar} instead. This | |
1173 allows focus redirection to work properly when the user switches from | |
1174 one frame to another using @code{select-window}. | |
1175 | |
1176 This means that a frame whose focus is redirected to itself is treated | |
1177 differently from a frame whose focus is not redirected. | |
1178 @code{select-frame} affects the former but not the latter. | |
1179 | |
1180 The redirection lasts until @code{redirect-frame-focus} is called to | |
1181 change it. | |

1311 Sometimes it is useful to @dfn{track} the mouse, which means to display |
6547 | 1312 something to indicate where the mouse is and move the indicator as the |
1313 mouse moves. For efficient mouse tracking, you need a way to wait until | |
1314 the mouse actually moves. | |
1315 | |
1316 The convenient way to track the mouse is to ask for events to represent | |
1317 mouse motion. Then you can wait for motion by waiting for an event. In | |
1318 addition, you can easily handle any other sorts of events that may | |
1319 occur. That is useful, because normally you don't want to track the | |
1320 mouse forever---only until some other event, such as the release of a | |
1321 button. | |

1335 The usual purpose of tracking mouse motion is to indicate on the screen | |
1336 the consequences of pushing or releasing a button at the current | |
1337 position. | |
1338 | |
12098 | 1339 In many cases, you can avoid the need to track the mouse by using |
1340 the @code{mouse-face} text property (@pxref{Special Properties}). | |
1341 That works at a much lower level and runs more smoothly than | |
1342 Lisp-level mouse tracking. | |

1648 are considered obsolete, but Emacs supports them for the sake of X | |

1660 If @var{push} is non-@code{nil}, that says to move the values down | |
1661 through the series of cut buffers, much like the way successive kills in | |
1662 Emacs move down the kill ring. In other words, the previous value of | |
1663 the first cut buffer moves into the second cut buffer, and the second to | |
1664 the third, and so on through all eight cut buffers. | |
