12098 | 158 string of resource names and values, in the same format used in the |
159 @file{.Xresources} file. The values you specify override the resource | |
160 values recorded in the X server itself; they apply to all Emacs frames | |
161 created on this display. Here's an example of what this string might | |
162 look like: | |

655 geometry string to an alist that you can use as part of the argument to |
6547 | 656 @code{make-frame}. |
657 | |
658 The alist describes which parameters were specified in @var{geom}, and | |
659 gives the values specified for them. Each element looks like | |
660 @code{(@var{parameter} . @var{value})}. The possible @var{parameter} | |
661 values are @code{left}, @code{top}, @code{width}, and @code{height}. | |
662 | |
12067 | 663 For the size parameters, the value must be an integer. The position |
664 parameter names @code{left} and @code{top} are not totally accurate, | |
665 because some values indicate the position of the right or bottom edges | |
666 instead. These are the @var{value} possibilities for the position | |
667 parameters: | |
668 | |
669 @table @asis | |
670 @item an integer | |
671 A positive integer relates the left edge or top edge of the window to | |
672 the left or top edge of the screen. A negative integer relates the | |
673 right or bottom edge of the window to the right or bottom edge of the | |
674 screen. | |
675 | |
12098 | 676 @item @code{(+ @var{position})} |
12067 | 677 This specifies the position of the left or top edge of the window |
678 relative to the left or top edge of the screen. The integer | |
679 @var{position} may be positive or negative; a negative value specifies a | |
680 position outside the screen. | |
681 | |
12098 | 682 @item @code{(- @var{position})} |
12067 | 683 This specifies the position of the right or bottom edge of the window |
684 relative to the right or bottom edge of the screen. The integer | |
685 @var{position} may be positive or negative; a negative value specifies a | |

734 @cindex deletion of frames | |
735 | |
736 Frames remain potentially visible until you explicitly @dfn{delete} | |
737 them. A deleted frame cannot appear on the screen, but continues to | |
738 exist as a Lisp object until there are no references to it. There is no | |
739 way to cancel the deletion of a frame aside from restoring a saved frame | |
740 configuration (@pxref{Frame Configurations}); this is similar to the | |
741 way windows behave. | |
742 | |
26388 | 743 @deffn Command delete-frame &optional frame force |
34015 | 744 @vindex delete-frame-hook |
745 This function deletes the frame @var{frame} after running the hook | |
746 @code{delete-frame-hook}. By default, @var{frame} is the selected | |
747 frame. | |
26388 | 748 |
749 A frame cannot be deleted if its minibuffer is used by other frames. | |
750 Normally, you cannot delete a frame if all other frames are invisible, | |
751 but if the @var{force} is non-@code{nil}, then you are allowed to do so. | |

853 Normally, each frame has its own minibuffer window at the bottom, which | |
854 is used whenever that frame is selected. If the frame has a minibuffer, | |
855 you can get it with @code{minibuffer-window} (@pxref{Minibuffer Misc}). | |
856 | |
857 However, you can also create a frame with no minibuffer. Such a frame | |
858 must use the minibuffer window of some other frame. When you create the | |
12098 | 859 frame, you can specify explicitly the minibuffer window to use (in some |
860 other frame). If you don't, then the minibuffer is found in the frame | |
861 which is the value of the variable @code{default-minibuffer-frame}. Its | |
862 value should be a frame that does have a minibuffer. | |
6547 | 863 |
864 If you use a minibuffer-only frame, you might want that frame to raise | |
865 when you enter the minibuffer. If so, set the variable | |
866 @code{minibuffer-auto-raise} to @code{t}. @xref{Raising and Lowering}. | |

943 events intended for @var{frame}. After such an event, the value of |
6547 | 944 @code{last-event-frame} will be @var{focus-frame}. Also, switch-frame |
945 events specifying @var{frame} will instead select @var{focus-frame}. | |
946 | |
947 If @var{focus-frame} is @code{nil}, that cancels any existing | |
948 redirection for @var{frame}, which therefore once again receives its own | |
949 events. | |
950 | |
951 One use of focus redirection is for frames that don't have minibuffers. | |
952 These frames use minibuffers on other frames. Activating a minibuffer | |
953 on another frame redirects focus to that frame. This puts the focus on | |
954 the minibuffer's frame, where it belongs, even though the mouse remains | |

955 in the frame that activated the minibuffer. |
6547 | 956 |
957 Selecting a frame can also change focus redirections. Selecting frame | |
958 @code{bar}, when @code{foo} had been selected, changes any redirections | |
959 pointing to @code{foo} so that they point to @code{bar} instead. This | |
960 allows focus redirection to work properly when the user switches from | |
961 one frame to another using @code{select-window}. | |
962 | |
963 This means that a frame whose focus is redirected to itself is treated | |
964 differently from a frame whose focus is not redirected. | |
965 @code{select-frame} affects the former but not the latter. | |
966 | |

985 A window frame may be @dfn{visible}, @dfn{invisible}, or |
12067 | 986 @dfn{iconified}. If it is visible, you can see its contents. If it is |
987 iconified, the frame's contents do not appear on the screen, but an icon | |
988 does. If the frame is invisible, it doesn't show on the screen, not | |
989 even as an icon. | |

992 one is actually displayed in any case. | |

1089 Sometimes it is useful to @dfn{track} the mouse, which means to display |
6547 | 1090 something to indicate where the mouse is and move the indicator as the |
1091 mouse moves. For efficient mouse tracking, you need a way to wait until | |
1092 the mouse actually moves. | |
1093 | |
1094 The convenient way to track the mouse is to ask for events to represent | |
1095 mouse motion. Then you can wait for motion by waiting for an event. In | |
1096 addition, you can easily handle any other sorts of events that may | |
1097 occur. That is useful, because normally you don't want to track the | |
1098 mouse forever---only until some other event, such as the release of a | |
1099 button. | |

1113 The usual purpose of tracking mouse motion is to indicate on the screen | |
1114 the consequences of pushing or releasing a button at the current | |
1115 position. | |
1116 | |
12098 | 1117 In many cases, you can avoid the need to track the mouse by using |
1118 the @code{mouse-face} text property (@pxref{Special Properties}). | |
1119 That works at a much lower level and runs more smoothly than | |
1120 Lisp-level mouse tracking. | |

1213 This function displays a pop-up menu and returns an indication of | |
1214 what selection the user makes. | |
1215 | |
1216 The argument @var{position} specifies where on the screen to put the | |
1217 menu. It can be either a mouse button event (which says to put the menu | |
1218 where the user actuated the button) or a list of this form: | |

1230 key binding equivalents for the keymaps specified in @var{menu}, | |
1231 without actually displaying or popping up the menu. | |
1232 | |
1233 The argument @var{menu} says what to display in the menu. It can be a | |
1234 keymap or a list of keymaps (@pxref{Menu Keymaps}). Alternatively, it | |
1235 can have the following form: | |

1395 The X server also has a set of numbered @dfn{cut buffers} which can | |
1396 store text or other data being moved between applications. Cut buffers | |
1397 are considered obsolete, but Emacs supports them for the sake of X | |
1398 clients that still use them. | |

26388 | 1406 0). If @var{push} is @code{nil}, only the first cut buffer is changed. |
1407 If @var{push} is non-@code{nil}, that says to move the values down | |
1408 through the series of cut buffers, much like the way successive kills in | |
1409 Emacs move down the kill ring. In other words, the previous value of | |
1410 the first cut buffer moves into the second cut buffer, and the second to | |
1411 the third, and so on through all eight cut buffers. | |
