+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTk_SetGrid\fR turns on gridded geometry management for \fItkwin\fR's
+toplevel window and specifies the geometry of the grid.
+\fBTk_SetGrid\fR is typically invoked by a widget when its \fBsetGrid\fR
+option is true.
+It restricts interactive resizing of \fItkwin\fR's toplevel window so
+that the space allocated to the toplevel is equal to its requested
+size plus or minus even multiples of \fIwidthInc\fR and \fIheightInc\fR.
+Furthermore, the \fIreqWidth\fR and \fIreqHeight\fR values are
+passed to the window manager so that it can report the window's
+size in grid units during interactive resizes.
+If \fItkwin\fR's configuration changes (e.g., the size of a grid unit
+changes) then the widget should invoke \fBTk_SetGrid\fR again with the new
+information.
+.PP
+\fBTk_UnsetGrid\fR cancels gridded geometry management for
+\fItkwin\fR's toplevel window.
+.PP
+For each toplevel window there can be at most one internal window
+with gridding enabled.
+If \fBTk_SetGrid\fR or \fBTk_UnsetGrid\fR is invoked when some
+other window is already controlling gridding for \fItkwin\fR's
+toplevel, the calls for the new window have no effect.
+.PP
+See the \fBwm\fR manual entry for additional information on gridded geometry
+management.
