+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTk_GeometryRequest\fR is called by widget code to indicate its
+preference for the dimensions of a particular window.  The arguments
+to \fBTk_GeometryRequest\fR are made available to the geometry
+manager for the window, which then decides on the actual geometry
+for the window.  Although geometry managers generally try to satisfy
+requests made to \fBTk_GeometryRequest\fR, there is no guarantee that
+this will always be possible.  Widget code should not assume that
+a geometry request will be satisfied until it receives a
+\fBConfigureNotify\fR event indicating that the geometry change has
+occurred.  Widget code should never call procedures like
+\fBTk_ResizeWindow\fR directly.  Instead, it should invoke
+\fBTk_GeometryRequest\fR and leave the final geometry decisions to
+the geometry manager.
+.PP
+If \fItkwin\fR is a top-level window, then the geometry information
+will be passed to the window manager using the standard ICCCM protocol.
+.PP
+\fBTk_SetInternalBorder\fR is called by widget code to indicate that
+the widget has an internal border.  This means that the widget draws
+a decorative border inside the window instead of using the standard
+X borders, which are external to the window's area.  For example,
+internal borders are used to draw 3-D effects.  \fIWidth\fR
+specifies the width of the border in pixels.  Geometry managers will
+use this information to avoid placing any children of \fItkwin\fR
+overlapping the outermost \fIwidth\fR pixels of \fItkwin\fR's area.
+.PP
+The information specified in calls to \fBTk_GeometryRequest\fR and
+\fBTk_SetInternalBorder\fR can be retrieved using the macros
+\fBTk_ReqWidth\fR, \fBTk_ReqHeight\fR, and \fBTk_InternalBorderWidth\fR.
+See the \fBTk_WindowId\fR manual entry for details.
