height
DescriptionXResizeWindow() changes the inside dimensions of the window. The bor‐
der is resized to match but its border width is not changed. XRe‐
sizeWindow() does not raise the window, or change its origin. Changing
the size of a mapped window may lose its contents and generate an
Expose event, depending on the bit_gravity attribute (see Volume One,
Chapter 4, Window Attributes). If a mapped window is made smaller,
exposure events will be generated on windows that it formerly obscured.
If the override_redirect attribute of the window is False and the win‐
dow manager has selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, then a
ConfigureRequest event is sent to the window manager, and no further
processing is performed.
If the client has selected StructureNotifyMask on the window, then a
ConfigureNotify event is generated after the move takes place, and the
event will contain the final size of the window.
Errors
BadValue Either width or height is zero.
