Convienience method that calls -addDragTypes:toWindow: using the server that controls win.

Convienience method that calls -dragTypesForWindow: using the server that controls win.

Convienience method that calls -removeDragTypes:fromWindow: using the server that controls win.

Create a window server with attributes, which contains key/value pairs which describe the specifics of how the window server is to be initialized. Typically these values are specific to the concrete implementation. The current set of attributes that can be used with GSDisplayServer is.

• GSDisplayName
• GSDisplayNumber
• GSScreenNumber

GSDisplayName is window server specific and shouldn't be used when creating a GSDisplayServer (although you can retrieve the value with the -attributes method). On X-Windows the value might be set to something like "host:d.s" where host is the host name, d is the display number and s is the screen number. GSDisplayNumber indicates the number of the display to open. GSScreenNumber indicates the number of the screen to display on. If not explicitly set, these attributes may be taked from environment variables or from other operating specific information.

In almost all applications one would only create a single instance of a window server. Although it is possible, it is unlikely that you would need more than one window server (and you would have to be very careful how you handled window creation and events in this case).

Sets the current server that will be handling windows, events, etc. This method must be called after a window server is created in order to make it available to the rest of the GUI library

Set the concrete subclass that will provide the device dependant implementation.

Add (increment count by 1) each drag type to those registered for the window. If this results in a change to the types registered in the counted set, return YES, otherwise return NO. Subclasses should override this method, call 'super' and take appropriate action if the method returns 'YES'.

Return information used to create the server

Returns a null terminated list of possible window depths for screen.

Play the System Beep

Returns the bounds, in pixels, for the indicated screen of the display.

Causes the server to disconnect from the display. If the receiver is the current server, it removes itself and sets the current server to nil. Sending any more messages to the receiver after this is likely to cause severe problems and probably crash the application.

Returns a screenshot of the specified rectangle of the specified screen. The mouse cursor should be ommitted from the returned image.

Returns the drag types set for the window win.

Description forthcoming.

Description forthcoming.

Description forthcoming.

Returns YES if the backend handles window decorations and NO if the gui library must do that instead.

Returns the size of icons and miniwindows for screen.

Returns a display dependent NSImage which will be used as the background image for AppIcons and MiniWindows. Under Windowmaker, for example this could be a user specified gradient.

Initializes the server. This typically causes the receiver to connect to the display (e.g. XOpenDisplay () on an X-Windows server).

Remove (decrement count by 1) each drag type from those registered for the window. If this results in a change to the types registered in the counted set, return YES, otherwise return NO. If given 'nil' as the array of types, remove ALL. Subclasses should override this method, call 'super' and take appropriate action if the method returns 'YES'.

Returns the resolution, in points, for the indicated screen of the display.

Description forthcoming.

Returns an array of NSNumbers, where each number describes a screen that is available on this display. The default screen is listed first.

Returns a display dependant pointer that describes the internal connection to the display. On X-Windows, for example, this is a pointer to the Display variable.

Description forthcoming.

Returns the default depth of windows that are created on screen.

Returns a display dependant pointer that describes the internal window representation for win. On X-Windows, for example, this is a pointer to the Window variable.

Warning the underscore at the start of the name of this method indicates that it is private, for internal use only, and you should not use the method in your code.

Steps through the event queue and removes all events whose timestamp is earlier than that of limit wand which match the supplied mask of event types.

Scans through the event queue to find the first event whose type matches mask. If no event is found, then the current run loop is run in the specified mode to allow more events to arrive.
If a matching event is found, it is returned and either removed from or left in the queue according to flag.
If no matching event is found and the limit date is reached, this method returns nil.

Posts an event to the event queue. The value of flag determines whether the event is inserted at the start of the queue or appended at the end.

Warning the underscore at the start of the name of this method indicates that it is private, for internal use only, and you should not use the method in your code.
Tells the receiver that it owns the window described by win. Concrete subclasses must call this function when creating a window. Do not call this method in any other case, particularly for a window that has already been created

Returns YES if the application should create the miniwindow counterpart to the full size window and own it. Some display systems handle the miniwindow themselves. In this case the backend subclass should override this method to return NO.

Grabs the pointer device so that all future mouse events will be directed only to the window win. If successful, the return value is YES and this message must be balanced by a -releasemouse message.

Sets the document edited flag for the window

Causes buffered graphics to be flushed to the screen. The value of rect is expressed in OpenStep window coordinates.

Free the cursor given by the cid representation.

Ask the window manager to hide all the application windows for us. Return whether they have been hidden.

Hides the cursor

Create a cursor from an image. Returns a pointer to the internal device representation that can be used later to make this cursor the current one

Miniaturizes the window

Returns the current mouse location on aScreen. If the pointer is not on aScreen, this method acts like -mouselocation . If aScreen is -1, then the location of the mouse on any screen is returned. The win pointer returns the window number of the GNUstep window that the mouse is in or 0 if it is not in a window.
The location is expressed as an offset from the bottom left corner of the screen.

Returns the current mouse location on the default screen. If the pointer is not on the default screen, an invalid point (-1,-1} is returned.
The location is expressed as an offset from the bottom left corner of the screen.

Moves the bottom left corner of the window (including any border) to loc.
The position is expressed as an offset from the bottom left corner of the screen.

Create all the backend structures for a reference to a native window and return the extend, backing type, style and screen for that window.

Causes the window to be ordered onto or off the screen depending on the value of op. The window is ordered relative to otherWin .

The effect of the various combinations of op and otherWin are:

op is NSWindowOut

The window is removed from the display and otherWinm is ignored.

op is NSWindowAbove and otherWin is zero

The window is placed above all other windows at the same level unless doing the current key window is at this level (in which case the window will be placed immediately below that).

op is NSWindowAbove and otherWin is minus one

The window is placed above all other windows at the same level even if doing that would place it above the current key window.
This is a special feature that [NSWindow -orderWindow:relativeTo:] uses to place the window correctly.

op is NSWindowBelow and otherWin is zero

The window is placed above all other windows at the same level.

op is NSWindowAbove and otherWin is a window on the display

The level of the window is set to be the same as that of otherWin and the window is placed immediately above otherWin.

op is NSWindowBelow and otherWin is a window on the display

The level of the window is set to be the same as that of otherWin and the window is placed immediately below otherWin.

Moves and resizes the window on the screen as described by frame. The value of frame is a rectangle containing the entire window, including any border/decorations. Its position is expressed as an offset from the bottom left corner of the screen.

Recolour the cursor given by the cid representation into having a foreground color fg and a background color bg.

Release a previous captured mouse from -capturemouse:

Description forthcoming.

Set mouse cursor position.

Description forthcoming.

Sets the window shadow

Sets the window device information for the NSGraphicsContext, typically by calling [NSGraphicsContext -GSSetDevice:::] , although depending on the concrete implmentation, more information than this may need to be exchanged.

Sets the transparancy value for the whole window

Set the cursor given by the cid representation as being the current cursor.

Set the cursor given by the cid representation as being the current cursor. The cursor has a foreground color fg and a background color bg. To keep the default color for the cursor, pass nil for fg and bg.

Forces focus to the window so that all key events are sent to this window

Sets the input state for the window given by the GSWindowInputState constant. Instructs the window manager that the specified window is 'key', 'main', or just a normal window.

Set the maximum size (pixels) of the window

Set the minimum size (pixels) of the window

Set the resize incremenet of the window

Set the level of the window as in the [NSWindow -setLevel] method.
The use of window levels organises the window hierarchy into groups of windows at each level. It effects the operation of the -orderwindow::: method in the case where the position is 'above' or 'below' and the other window number is zero.

Show a previously hidden cursor

Create a standard cursor (such as an arror or IBeam). Returns a pointer to the internal device representation that can be used later to make this cursor the current one

Returns the dimensions of window decorations added outside the drawable window frame by a window manager or equivalent. For instance, t gives the height of the title bar for the window.
If -handlesWindowDecorations returns NO, there are no decorations outside the drawable window frame and this method shouldn't be called.

Sets the style of the window. See [NSWindow -styleMask] for a description of the available styles

Destroys the representation of the window and frees and memory associated with it.

Sets the window title

Creates a window whose location and size is described by frame and whose backing store is described by type. This window is not mapped to the screen by this call.
Note that frame is the frame of the entire GNUstep window including borders, titlebar and other standard decorations.
If -handlesWindowDecorations returns YES, the backend will produce (and return the identifier of) a smaller drawable window inside this decorated area.
Use -styleoffsets::::: to determine the extent of the decorations and determine the size of the drawable area inside them.

Like -window::: only there is an additional argument to specify which screen the window will display on

Changes window's the backing store to type

Returns the frame of the window on the screen.
The value of frame is a rectangle containing the entire window, including any border/decorations. Its position is expressed as an offset from the bottom left corner of the screen.

Returns the depth of the window

Sets the window device information for the current NSGraphicsContext, typically by calling [NSGraphicsContext -GSSetDevice:::] , although depending on the concrete implmentation, more information than this may need to be exchanged.

Returns the window level as in [NSWindow -level]

Backends can override this method to return an array of window numbers ordered front to back. The front most window being the first object in the array. The default implementation returns the visible windows in an unspecified order.
