<description summary="child surface positioner">
The xdg_positioner provides a collection of rules for the placement of a
child surface relative to a parent surface. Rules can be defined to ensure
the child surface remains within the visible area's borders, and to
specify how the child surface changes its position, such as sliding along
an axis, or flipping around a rectangle. These positioner-created rules are
constrained by the requirement that a child surface must intersect with or
be at least partially adjacent to its parent surface.
See the various requests for details about possible rules.
At the time of the request, the compositor makes a copy of the rules
specified by the xdg_positioner. Thus, after the request is complete the
xdg_positioner object can be destroyed or reused; further changes to the
object will have no effect on previous usages.
For an xdg_positioner object to be considered complete, it must have a
non-zero size set by set_size, and a non-zero anchor rectangle set by
set_anchor_rect. Passing an incomplete xdg_positioner object when
positioning a surface raises an error.

<description summary="desktop user interface surface base interface">
An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for
implementations that provide a desktop-style user interface.
It provides a base set of functionality required to construct user
interface elements requiring management by the compositor, such as
toplevel windows, menus, etc. The types of functionality are split into
xdg_surface roles.
Creating an xdg_surface does not set the role for a wl_surface. In order
to map an xdg_surface, the client must create a role-specific object
using, e.g., get_toplevel, get_popup. The wl_surface for any given
xdg_surface can have at most one role, and may not be assigned any role
not based on xdg_surface.
A role must be assigned before any other requests are made to the
xdg_surface object.
The client must call wl_surface.commit on the corresponding wl_surface
for the xdg_surface state to take effect.
Creating an xdg_surface from a wl_surface which has a buffer attached or
committed is a client error, and any attempts by a client to attach or
manipulate a buffer prior to the first xdg_surface.configure call must
also be treated as errors.
Mapping an xdg_surface-based role surface is defined as making it
possible for the surface to be shown by the compositor. Note that
a mapped surface is not guaranteed to be visible once it is mapped.
For an xdg_surface to be mapped by the compositor, the following
conditions must be met:
(1) the client has assigned an xdg_surface-based role to the surface
(2) the client has set and committed the xdg_surface state and the
role-dependent state to the surface
(3) the client has committed a buffer to the surface
A newly-unmapped surface is considered to have met condition (1) out
of the 3 required conditions for mapping a surface if its role surface
has not been destroyed.

The window geometry of a surface is its "visible bounds" from the

portions like drop-shadows which should be ignored for the
purposes of aligning, placing and constraining windows.
The window geometry is double buffered, and will be applied at the
time wl_surface.commit of the corresponding wl_surface is called.
When maintaining a position, the compositor should treat the (x, y)
coordinate of the window geometry as the top left corner of the window.
A client changing the (x, y) window geometry coordinate should in
general not alter the position of the window.
Once the window geometry of the surface is set, it is not possible to
unset it, and it will remain the same until set_window_geometry is
called again, even if a new subsurface or buffer is attached.
If never set, the value is the full bounds of the surface,
including any subsurfaces. This updates dynamically on every
commit. This unset is meant for extremely simple clients.
The arguments are given in the surface-local coordinate space of
the wl_surface associated with this xdg_surface.
The width and height must be greater than zero. Setting an invalid size
will raise an error. When applied, the effective window geometry will be
the set window geometry clamped to the bounding rectangle of the
combined geometry of the surface of the xdg_surface and the associated

When a configure event is received, if a client commits the

For instance, for toplevel surfaces the compositor might use this
information to move a surface to the top left only when the client has
drawn itself for the maximized or fullscreen state.
If the client receives multiple configure events before it
can respond to one, it only has to ack the last configure event.
A client is not required to commit immediately after sending
an ack_configure request - it may even ack_configure several times
before its next surface commit.
A client may send multiple ack_configure requests before committing, but
only the last request sent before a commit indicates which configure

sequence extend this event as a latched state sent as events before the

Clients should arrange their surface for the new states, and then send

Unmapping an xdg_toplevel means that the surface cannot be shown

All active operations (e.g., move, resize) are canceled and all

The edges parameter specifies how the surface should be resized,

may use this information to update the surface position for
example when dragging the top left corner. The compositor may also

Set a maximum size for the window.
The client can specify a maximum size so that the compositor does

The width and height arguments are in window geometry coordinates.
See xdg_surface.set_window_geometry.
Values set in this way are double-buffered. They will get applied

The compositor can use this information to allow or disallow
different states like maximize or fullscreen and draw accurate
animations.
Similarly, a tiling window manager may use this information to
place and resize client windows in a more effective way.
The client should not rely on the compositor to obey the maximum
size. The compositor may decide to ignore the values set by the
client and request a larger size.
If never set, or a value of zero in the request, means that the
client has no expected maximum size in the given dimension.
As a result, a client wishing to reset the maximum size
to an unspecified state can use zero for width and height in the
request.
Requesting a maximum size to be smaller than the minimum size of
a surface is illegal and will result in a protocol error.
The width and height must be greater than or equal to zero. Using

Maximize the surface.
After requesting that the surface should be maximized, the compositor
will respond by emitting a configure event. Whether this configure
actually sets the window maximized is subject to compositor policies.
The client must then update its content, drawing in the configured
state. The client must also acknowledge the configure when committing
the new content (see ack_configure).
It is up to the compositor to decide how and where to maximize the
surface, for example which output and what region of the screen should
be used.
If the surface was already maximized, the compositor will still emit
a configure event with the "maximized" state.
If the surface is in a fullscreen state, this request has no direct
effect. It may alter the state the surface is returned to when
unmaximized unless overridden by the compositor.

<description summary="unmaximize the window">
Unmaximize the surface.
After requesting that the surface should be unmaximized, the compositor
will respond by emitting a configure event. Whether this actually
un-maximizes the window is subject to compositor policies.
If available and applicable, the compositor will include the window
geometry dimensions the window had prior to being maximized in the
configure event. The client must then update its content, drawing it in
the configured state. The client must also acknowledge the configure
when committing the new content (see ack_configure).
It is up to the compositor to position the surface after it was
unmaximized; usually the position the surface had before maximizing, if
applicable.
If the surface was already not maximized, the compositor will still
emit a configure event without the "maximized" state.
If the surface is in a fullscreen state, this request has no direct
effect. It may alter the state the surface is returned to when
unmaximized unless overridden by the compositor.

Make the surface fullscreen.
After requesting that the surface should be fullscreened, the
compositor will respond by emitting a configure event. Whether the
client is actually put into a fullscreen state is subject to compositor
policies. The client must also acknowledge the configure when
committing the new content (see ack_configure).
The output passed by the request indicates the client's preference as
to which display it should be set fullscreen on. If this value is NULL,
it's up to the compositor to choose which display will be used to map
this surface.
If the surface doesn't cover the whole output, the compositor will
position the surface in the center of the output and compensate with
with border fill covering the rest of the output. The content of the
border fill is undefined, but should be assumed to be in some way that
attempts to blend into the surrounding area (e.g. solid black).
If the fullscreened surface is not opaque, the compositor must make
sure that other screen content not part of the same surface tree (made
up of subsurfaces, popups or similarly coupled surfaces) are not
visible below the fullscreened surface.

Making a surface unfullscreen sets states for the surface based on the following:
* the state(s) it may have had before becoming fullscreen
* any state(s) decided by the compositor
* any state(s) requested by the client while the surface was fullscreen
The compositor may include the previous window geometry dimensions in

This configure event asks the client to resize its toplevel surface or

immediately. See xdg_surface.configure for details.
The width and height arguments specify a hint to the window
about how its surface should be resized in window geometry
coordinates. See set_window_geometry.
If the width or height arguments are zero, it means the client
should decide its own window dimension. This may happen when the
compositor needs to configure the state of the surface but doesn't
have any information about any previous or expected dimension.
The states listed in the event specify how the width/height
arguments should be interpreted, and possibly how it should be
drawn.

<description summary="short-lived, popup surfaces for menus">
A popup surface is a short-lived, temporary surface. It can be used to
implement for example menus, popovers, tooltips and other similar user
interface concepts.
A popup can be made to take an explicit grab. See xdg_popup.grab for
details.
When the popup is dismissed, a popup_done event will be sent out, and at
the same time the surface will be unmapped. See the xdg_popup.popup_done
event for details.
Explicitly destroying the xdg_popup object will also dismiss the popup and
unmap the surface. Clients that want to dismiss the popup when another
surface of their own is clicked should dismiss the popup using the destroy
request.
A newly created xdg_popup will be stacked on top of all previously created
xdg_popup surfaces associated with the same xdg_toplevel.
The parent of an xdg_popup must be mapped (see the xdg_surface
description) before the xdg_popup itself.
The client must call wl_surface.commit on the corresponding wl_surface
for the xdg_popup state to take effect.

<request name="grab">
<description summary="make the popup take an explicit grab">
This request makes the created popup take an explicit grab. An explicit
grab will be dismissed when the user dismisses the popup, or when the
client destroys the xdg_popup. This can be done by the user clicking
outside the surface, using the keyboard, or even locking the screen
through closing the lid or a timeout.
If the compositor denies the grab, the popup will be immediately
dismissed.
This request must be used in response to some sort of user action like a
button press, key press, or touch down event. The serial number of the
event should be passed as 'serial'.
The parent of a grabbing popup must either be an xdg_toplevel surface or
another xdg_popup with an explicit grab. If the parent is another
xdg_popup it means that the popups are nested, with this popup now being
the topmost popup.
Nested popups must be destroyed in the reverse order they were created
in, e.g. the only popup you are allowed to destroy at all times is the
topmost one.
When compositors choose to dismiss a popup, they may dismiss every
nested grabbing popup as well. When a compositor dismisses popups, it
will follow the same dismissing order as required from the client.
The parent of a grabbing popup must either be another xdg_popup with an
active explicit grab, or an xdg_popup or xdg_toplevel, if there are no
explicit grabs already taken.
If the topmost grabbing popup is destroyed, the grab will be returned to
the parent of the popup, if that parent previously had an explicit grab.
If the parent is a grabbing popup which has already been dismissed, this
popup will be immediately dismissed. If the parent is a popup that did
not take an explicit grab, an error will be raised.
During a popup grab, the client owning the grab will receive pointer
and touch events for all their surfaces as normal (similar to an
"owner-events" grab in X11 parlance), while the top most grabbing popup
will always have keyboard focus.

If multiple reposition requests are sent, the compositor may skip all

If the popup is repositioned in response to a configure event for its
