+.SH NAME
+winfo \- Return window-related information
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBwinfo\fR \fIoption \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.BE
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBwinfo\fR command is used to retrieve information about windows
+managed by Tk. It can take any of a number of different forms,
+depending on the \fIoption\fR argument. The legal forms are:
+.TP
+\fBwinfo atom \fR?\fB\-displayof \fIwindow\fR? \fIname\fR
+Returns a decimal string giving the integer identifier for the
+atom whose name is \fIname\fR. If no atom exists with the name
+\fIname\fR then a new one is created.
+If the \fB\-displayof\fR option is given then the atom is looked
+up on the display of \fIwindow\fR; otherwise it is looked up on
+the display of the application's main window.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo atomname \fR?\fB\-displayof \fIwindow\fR? \fIid\fR
+Returns the textual name for the atom whose integer identifier is
+\fIid\fR.
+If the \fB\-displayof\fR option is given then the identifier is looked
+up on the display of \fIwindow\fR; otherwise it is looked up on
+the display of the application's main window.
+This command is the inverse of the \fBwinfo atom\fR command.
+It generates an error if no such atom exists.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo cells \fIwindow\fR
+Returns a decimal string giving the number of cells in the
+color map for \fIwindow\fR.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo children \fIwindow\fR
+Returns a list containing the path names of all the children
+of \fIwindow\fR. Top-level windows are returned as children
+of their logical parents. The list is in stacking order, with
+the lowest window first, except for Top-level windows which
+are not returned in stacking order. Use the \fBwm stackorder\fR
+command to query the stacking order of Top-level windows.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo class \fIwindow\fR
+Returns the class name for \fIwindow\fR.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo colormapfull \fIwindow\fR
+Returns 1 if the colormap for \fIwindow\fR is known to be full, 0
+otherwise. The colormap for a window is
+.QW known
+to be full if the last
+attempt to allocate a new color on that window failed and this
+application has not freed any colors in the colormap since the
+failed allocation.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo containing \fR?\fB\-displayof \fIwindow\fR? \fIrootX rootY\fR
+Returns the path name for the window containing the point given
+by \fIrootX\fR and \fIrootY\fR.
+\fIRootX\fR and \fIrootY\fR are specified in screen units (i.e.
+any form acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR) in the coordinate
+system of the root window (if a virtual-root window manager is in
+use then the coordinate system of the virtual root window is used).
+If the \fB\-displayof\fR option is given then the coordinates refer
+to the screen containing \fIwindow\fR; otherwise they refer to the
+screen of the application's main window.
+If no window in this application contains the point then an empty
+string is returned.
+In selecting the containing window, children are given higher priority
+than parents and among siblings the highest one in the stacking order is
+chosen.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo depth \fIwindow\fR
+Returns a decimal string giving the depth of \fIwindow\fR (number
+of bits per pixel).
+.TP
+\fBwinfo exists \fIwindow\fR
+Returns 1 if there exists a window named \fIwindow\fR, 0 if no such
+window exists.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo fpixels \fIwindow\fR \fInumber\fR
+Returns a floating-point value giving the number of pixels
+in \fIwindow\fR corresponding to the distance given by \fInumber\fR.
+\fINumber\fR may be specified in any of the forms acceptable
+to \fBTk_GetScreenMM\fR, such as
+.QW 2.0c
+or
+.QW 1i .
+The return value may be fractional; for an integer value, use
+\fBwinfo pixels\fR.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo geometry \fIwindow\fR
+Returns the geometry for \fIwindow\fR, in the form
+\fIwidth\fBx\fIheight\fB+\fIx\fB+\fIy\fR. All dimensions are
+in pixels.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo height \fIwindow\fR
+Returns a decimal string giving \fIwindow\fR's height in pixels.
+When a window is first created its height will be 1 pixel; the
+height will eventually be changed by a geometry manager to fulfil
+the window's needs.
+If you need the true height immediately after creating a widget,
+invoke \fBupdate\fR to force the geometry manager to arrange it,
+or use \fBwinfo reqheight\fR to get the window's requested height
+instead of its actual height.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo id \fIwindow\fR
+Returns a hexadecimal string giving a low-level platform-specific
+identifier for \fIwindow\fR. On Unix platforms, this is the X
+window identifier. Under Windows, this is the Windows
+HWND. On the Macintosh the value has no meaning outside Tk.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo interps \fR?\fB\-displayof \fIwindow\fR?
+Returns a list whose members are the names of all Tcl interpreters
+(e.g. all Tk-based applications) currently registered for a particular display.
+If the \fB\-displayof\fR option is given then the return value refers
+to the display of \fIwindow\fR; otherwise it refers to
+the display of the application's main window.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo ismapped \fIwindow\fR
+Returns \fB1\fR if \fIwindow\fR is currently mapped, \fB0\fR otherwise.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo manager \fIwindow\fR
+Returns the name of the geometry manager currently
+responsible for \fIwindow\fR, or an empty string if \fIwindow\fR
+is not managed by any geometry manager.
+The name is usually the name of the Tcl command for the geometry
+manager, such as \fBpack\fR or \fBplace\fR.
+If the geometry manager is a widget, such as canvases or text, the
+name is the widget's class command, such as \fBcanvas\fR.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo name \fIwindow\fR
+Returns \fIwindow\fR's name (i.e. its name within its parent, as opposed
+to its full path name).
+The command \fBwinfo name .\fR will return the name of the application.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo parent \fIwindow\fR
+Returns the path name of \fIwindow\fR's parent, or an empty string
+if \fIwindow\fR is the main window of the application.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo pathname \fR?\fB\-displayof \fIwindow\fR? \fIid\fR
+Returns the path name of the window whose X identifier is \fIid\fR.
+\fIId\fR must be a decimal, hexadecimal, or octal integer and must
+correspond to a window in the invoking application.
+If the \fB\-displayof\fR option is given then the identifier is looked
+up on the display of \fIwindow\fR; otherwise it is looked up on
+the display of the application's main window.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo pixels \fIwindow\fR \fInumber\fR
+Returns the number of pixels in \fIwindow\fR corresponding
+to the distance given by \fInumber\fR.
+\fINumber\fR may be specified in any of the forms acceptable
+to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR, such as
+.QW 2.0c
+or
+.QW 1i .
+The result is rounded to the nearest integer value; for a
+fractional result, use \fBwinfo fpixels\fR.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo pointerx \fIwindow\fR
+If the mouse pointer is on the same screen as \fIwindow\fR, returns the
+pointer's x coordinate, measured in pixels in the screen's root window.
+If a virtual root window is in use on the screen, the position is
+measured in the virtual root.
+If the mouse pointer is not on the same screen as \fIwindow\fR then
+-1 is returned.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo pointerxy \fIwindow\fR
+If the mouse pointer is on the same screen as \fIwindow\fR, returns a list
+with two elements, which are the pointer's x and y coordinates measured
+in pixels in the screen's root window.
+If a virtual root window is in use on the screen, the position
+is computed in the virtual root.
+If the mouse pointer is not on the same screen as \fIwindow\fR then
+both of the returned coordinates are \-1.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo pointery \fIwindow\fR
+If the mouse pointer is on the same screen as \fIwindow\fR, returns the
+pointer's y coordinate, measured in pixels in the screen's root window.
+If a virtual root window is in use on the screen, the position
+is computed in the virtual root.
+If the mouse pointer is not on the same screen as \fIwindow\fR then
+-1 is returned.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo reqheight \fIwindow\fR
+Returns a decimal string giving \fIwindow\fR's requested height,
+in pixels. This is the value used by \fIwindow\fR's geometry
+manager to compute its geometry.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo reqwidth \fIwindow\fR
+Returns a decimal string giving \fIwindow\fR's requested width,
+in pixels. This is the value used by \fIwindow\fR's geometry
+manager to compute its geometry.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo rgb \fIwindow color\fR
+Returns a list containing three decimal values in the range 0 to
+65535, which are the
+red, green, and blue intensities that correspond to \fIcolor\fR in
+the window given by \fIwindow\fR. \fIColor\fR
+may be specified in any of the forms acceptable for a color
+option.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo rootx \fIwindow\fR
+Returns a decimal string giving the x-coordinate, in the root
+window of the screen, of the
+upper-left corner of \fIwindow\fR's border (or \fIwindow\fR if it
+has no border).
+.TP
+\fBwinfo rooty \fIwindow\fR
+Returns a decimal string giving the y-coordinate, in the root
+window of the screen, of the
+upper-left corner of \fIwindow\fR's border (or \fIwindow\fR if it

+in pixels.
+.TP
+\fBwinfo server \fIwindow\fR
+Returns a string containing information about the server for
+\fIwindow\fR's display. The exact format of this string may vary
+from platform to platform. For X servers the string
+has the form
+.QW "\fBX\fImajor\fBR\fIminor vendor vendorVersion\fR"
+where \fImajor\fR and \fIminor\fR are the version and revision
