XGetWindowAttributes can generate ``BadDrawable'' and ``BadWindow'' errors.
The XGetGeometry function returns the root window and the current geometry of the drawable. The geometry of the drawable includes the x and y coordinates, width and height, border width, and depth. These are described in the argument list. It is legal to pass to this function a window whose class is InputOnly.

The x and y members are set to the upper-left outer
corner relative to the parent window's origin.
The width and height members are set
to the inside size of the window, not including the border.
The border_width member is set to
the window's border width in pixels.
The depth member is set to the depth of the window
(that is, bits per pixel for the object).
The visual member is a pointer to
the screen's associated Visual structure.
The root member is set to the root window
of the screen containing the window.
The class member is set to the window's class and can
be either InputOutput or InputOnly.
The bit_gravity member is set to the window's
bit gravity and can be one of the following:
| ForgetGravity | EastGravity |
| NorthWestGravity | SouthWestGravity |
| NorthGravity | SouthGravity |
| NorthEastGravity | SouthEastGravity |
| WestGravity | StaticGravity |
| CenterGravity |
The win_gravity member is set to the window's
window gravity and can be one of the following:
| UnmapGravity | EastGravity |
| NorthWestGravity | SouthWestGravity |
| NorthGravity | SouthGravity |
| NorthEastGravity | SouthEastGravity |
| WestGravity | StaticGravity |
| CenterGravity |
For additional information on gravity, see section 3.3 of Xlib - C Language X Interface.
The backing_store member is set to indicate how
the X server should maintain the contents of a window and can be
WhenMapped, Always, or NotUseful.
The backing_planes member is set to indicate
(with bits set to 1) which bit planes of the window hold
dynamic data that must be preserved in backing_stores
and during save_unders.
The backing_pixel member is set to indicate
what values to use for planes not set in backing_planes.
The save_under member is set to True or False.
The colormap member is set to the colormap for the specified
window and can be a colormap ID or None.
The map_installed member is set to indicate whether the
colormap is currently installed and can be True
or False.
The map_state member is set to indicate the state
of the window and can be IsUnmapped,
IsUnviewable, or IsViewable.
IsUnviewable is used if the window is
mapped but some ancestor is unmapped.
The all_event_masks member is set to the bitwise inclusive OR
of all event masks selected on the window by all clients.
The your_event_mask member is set to the bitwise inclusive OR
of all event masks selected by the querying client.
The do_not_propagate_mask member is set to the bitwise
inclusive OR of the set of events that should not propagate.
The override_redirect member is set to indicate whether this
window overrides structure control facilities and can be
True or False.
Window manager clients should ignore the window if
this member is True.
The screen member is set to a screen pointer that gives
you a back pointer to the correct screen.
This makes it easier to obtain the screen information without
having to loop over the root window fields to see which field matches.
