Description
The XQueryBestSize
function returns the best or closest size to the specified size.
For CursorShape, this is the largest size that can
be fully displayed on the screen specified by which_screen.
For TileShape,
this is the size that can be tiled fastest.
For StippleShape,
this is the size that can be stippled fastest.
For CursorShape,
the drawable indicates the desired screen.
For TileShape and StippleShape, the drawable
indicates the screen and possibly the window class and depth.
An InputOnly window cannot be used as the drawable for
TileShape or StippleShape,
or a ``BadMatch'' error results.
XQueryBestSize can generate ``BadDrawable'',
``BadMatch'', and ``BadValue'' errors.
The XQueryBestTile function returns the best
or closest size, that is, the size that can be tiled fastest
on the screen specified by which_screen.
The drawable indicates the screen and possibly the window class and depth.
If an InputOnly window is used as the drawable, a
``BadMatch'' error results.
XQueryBestTile can generate ``BadDrawable''
and ``BadMatch'' errors.
The XQueryBestStipple
function returns the best or closest size, that is, the size that can be
stippled fastest on the screen specified by which_screen.
The drawable indicates the screen and possibly the window class and depth.
If an InputOnly window is used as the drawable, a
``BadMatch'' error results.

and ``BadMatch'' errors.
Diagnostics
``BadMatch''-
An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.
``BadDrawable''-
A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
``BadMatch''-
The values do not exist for an InputOnly window.
``BadValue''-
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
accepted by the request. Unless a specific range is
specified for an argument, the full range defined by
the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined
as a set of alternatives can generate this error.
