X11::Protocol::Ext::SHAPE - Perl module for the X11 Protocol Nonrectangular Window Shape Extension

SYNOPSIS

  use X11::Protocol;
  $x = X11::Protocol->new($ENV{'DISPLAY'});
  $x->init_extension('SHAPE') or die;

This module is used by the X11::Protocol module to participate in the shaped window extension to the X protocol, allowing windows to be of any shape, not just rectangles.

This extension adds the event type 'ShapeNotify', with values as specified in the standard. This event is selected using the ShapeSelectInput() request.

REQUESTS

This extension adds several requests, called as shown below:

  $x->ShapeQueryVersion
  =>
  ($major, $minor)

  $x->ShapeRectangles($dest, $destKind, $op, $xOff, $yOff,
                      $ordering, @rectangles) 

  $x->ShapeMask($dest, $destKind, $op, $xOff, $yOff, $source)

  $x->ShapeCombine($dest, $destKind, $op, $xOff, $yOff, $source,
                   $sourceKind)

  $x->ShapeOffset($dest, $destKind, $xOff, $yOff)

  $x->ShapeQueryExtents($dest)
  =>
  ($boundingShaped, $clipShaped,
   ($xBoundingShape, $yBoundingShape,
    $widthBoundingShape, $heightBoundingShape)  
   ($xClipShape, $yClipShape, $widthClipShape, $heightClipShape))

  $x->ShapeSelectInput($window, $enable)  

  $x->ShapeInputSelected($window)
  =>
  $enable

  $x->ShapeGetRectangles($window, $kind)
  =>
  ($ordering, [$x, $y, $width, $height], ...)
