862 geometry string to an alist that you can use as part of the argument to |
6547 | 863 @code{make-frame}. |
864 | |
865 The alist describes which parameters were specified in @var{geom}, and | |
866 gives the values specified for them. Each element looks like | |
867 @code{(@var{parameter} . @var{value})}. The possible @var{parameter} | |
868 values are @code{left}, @code{top}, @code{width}, and @code{height}. | |
869 | |
12067 | 870 For the size parameters, the value must be an integer. The position |
871 parameter names @code{left} and @code{top} are not totally accurate, | |
872 because some values indicate the position of the right or bottom edges | |
873 instead. These are the @var{value} possibilities for the position | |
874 parameters: | |
875 | |
876 @table @asis | |
877 @item an integer | |
878 A positive integer relates the left edge or top edge of the window to | |
879 the left or top edge of the screen. A negative integer relates the | |
880 right or bottom edge of the window to the right or bottom edge of the | |
881 screen. | |
882 | |
12098 | 883 @item @code{(+ @var{position})} |
12067 | 884 This specifies the position of the left or top edge of the window |
885 relative to the left or top edge of the screen. The integer | |
886 @var{position} may be positive or negative; a negative value specifies a | |
887 position outside the screen. | |
888 | |
12098 | 889 @item @code{(- @var{position})} |
12067 | 890 This specifies the position of the right or bottom edge of the window |
891 relative to the right or bottom edge of the screen. The integer | |
892 @var{position} may be positive or negative; a negative value specifies a | |
893 position outside the screen. | |

1182 events intended for @var{frame}. After such an event, the value of |
6547 | 1183 @code{last-event-frame} will be @var{focus-frame}. Also, switch-frame |
1184 events specifying @var{frame} will instead select @var{focus-frame}. | |
1185 | |
54030 | 1186 If @var{focus-frame} is omitted or @code{nil}, that cancels any existing |
6547 | 1187 redirection for @var{frame}, which therefore once again receives its own |
1188 events. | |
1189 | |
1190 One use of focus redirection is for frames that don't have minibuffers. | |
1191 These frames use minibuffers on other frames. Activating a minibuffer | |
1192 on another frame redirects focus to that frame. This puts the focus on | |
1193 the minibuffer's frame, where it belongs, even though the mouse remains | |

1194 in the frame that activated the minibuffer. |
6547 | 1195 |
1196 Selecting a frame can also change focus redirections. Selecting frame | |
1197 @code{bar}, when @code{foo} had been selected, changes any redirections | |
1198 pointing to @code{foo} so that they point to @code{bar} instead. This | |
1199 allows focus redirection to work properly when the user switches from | |
1200 one frame to another using @code{select-window}. | |
1201 | |
1202 This means that a frame whose focus is redirected to itself is treated | |
1203 differently from a frame whose focus is not redirected. | |
1204 @code{select-frame} affects the former but not the latter. | |
1205 | |
1206 The redirection lasts until @code{redirect-frame-focus} is called to | |
1207 change it. | |

6547 | 1342 something to indicate where the mouse is and move the indicator as the |

1346 The convenient way to track the mouse is to ask for events to represent |
6547 | 1347 mouse motion. Then you can wait for motion by waiting for an event. In |
1348 addition, you can easily handle any other sorts of events that may | |
1349 occur. That is useful, because normally you don't want to track the | |
1350 mouse forever---only until some other event, such as the release of a | |
1351 button. | |

1365 The usual purpose of tracking mouse motion is to indicate on the screen | |
1366 the consequences of pushing or releasing a button at the current | |
1367 position. | |
1368 | |
12098 | 1369 In many cases, you can avoid the need to track the mouse by using |
1370 the @code{mouse-face} text property (@pxref{Special Properties}). | |

1693 @cindex cut buffer | |
54030 | 1694 The X server also has a set of eight numbered @dfn{cut buffers} which can |
6547 | 1695 store text or other data being moved between applications. Cut buffers |
1696 are considered obsolete, but Emacs supports them for the sake of X | |
54030 | 1697 clients that still use them. Cut buffers are numbered from 0 to 7. |

1705 @anchor{Definition of x-set-cut-buffer} |
6547 | 1706 This function stores @var{string} into the first cut buffer (cut buffer |
26388 | 1707 0). If @var{push} is @code{nil}, only the first cut buffer is changed. |
1708 If @var{push} is non-@code{nil}, that says to move the values down | |
1709 through the series of cut buffers, much like the way successive kills in | |
1710 Emacs move down the kill ring. In other words, the previous value of | |
1711 the first cut buffer moves into the second cut buffer, and the second to | |
1712 the third, and so on through all eight cut buffers. | |
