| 3 | .SH NAME | |
| 4 | xwarpptr \- warp pointer to a given location | |
| 5 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 6 | .B xwarpptr | |
| 7 | .RB [ \-r ] | |
| 8 | .RB [ \-d | |
| 9 | .IR display ] | |
| 10 | .I x | |
| 11 | .I y | |
| 12 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 13 | The | |
| 14 | .B xwarpptr | |
| 15 | warps (moves) the mouse pointer to position | |
| 16 | .RI ( x , | |
| 17 | .IR y ) | |
| 18 | on the screen. | |
| 19 | .PP | |
| 20 | Coordinates use the usual (left-handed) X11 convention: the origin in in | |
| 21 | the top left, with | |
| 22 | .IR x - | |
| 23 | and | |
| 24 | .IR y -coordinates | |
| 25 | increasing rightwards and downwards respectively. | |
| 26 | .PP | |
| 27 | If | |
| 28 | .I x | |
| 29 | or | |
| 30 | .I y | |
| 31 | is negative, then it is instead considered relative to the right or | |
| 32 | bottom edge, respectively. Usually, a negative number would need to be | |
| 33 | preceded by a | |
| 34 | .RB ` \-\- ' | |
| 35 | marker to prevent it from being misinterpreted as an option, but | |
| 36 | .B xwarpptr | |
| 37 | takes special care to handle this situation correctly. | |
| 38 | .PP | |
| 39 | With the | |
| 40 | .B \-r | |
| 41 | option, | |
| 42 | .I x | |
| 43 | and | |
| 44 | .I y | |
| 45 | are instead considered relative to the pointer's current position; | |
| 46 | coordinates still increase rightwards and downwards. | |
| 47 | .SS Options | |
| 48 | .TP 5 | |
| 49 | .BI "\-d, \-\-display " display | |
| 50 | Choose which display to connect to. | |
| 51 | .TP 5 | |
| 52 | .B \-r, \-\-relative | |
| 53 | Move the pointer relative to its current position, rather than to an | |
| 54 | absolute position. (See above.) | |
| 55 | .SH BUGS | |
| 56 | Hopefully none. | |
