299 * The fix_coordinates flag will translate the current coordinates (offset from
300 * the monitor position basically) to appropriate coordinates on the
301 * destination workspace.
302 * Not enabling this behaviour comes in handy when this function gets called by
303 * floating_maybe_reassign_ws, which will only "move" a floating window when it
304 * *already* changed its coordinates to a different output.
306 * The dont_warp flag disables pointer warping and will be set when this
307 * function is called while dragging a floating window.
309 * If ignore_focus is set, the container will be moved without modifying focus
312 * TODO: is there a better place for this function?

323 void con_move_to_output(Con *con, Output *output, bool fix_coordinates);
326 * Moves the given container to the currently focused container on the
327 * visible workspace on the output specified by the given name.
328 * The current output for the container is used to resolve relative names
329 * such as left, right, up, down.

342 * vertical orientation is used regardless of the actual orientation of the
346 orientation_t con_orientation(Con *con);
349 * Returns the container which will be focused next when the given container
350 * is not available anymore. Called in tree_close_internal and con_move_to_workspace
351 * to properly restore focus.
354 Con *con_next_focused(Con *con);
357 * Get the next/previous container in the specified orientation. This may
358 * travel up until it finds a container with suitable orientation.
361 Con *con_get_next(Con *con, char way, orientation_t orientation);
364 * Returns the focused con inside this client, descending the tree as far as
365 * possible. This comes in handy when attaching a con to a workspace at the
366 * currently focused position, for example.
369 Con *con_descend_focused(Con *con);
372 * Returns the focused con inside this client, descending the tree as far as
373 * possible. This comes in handy when attaching a con to a workspace at the
374 * currently focused position, for example.
376 * Works like con_descend_focused but considers only tiling cons.
379 Con *con_descend_tiling_focused(Con *con);
382 * Returns the leftmost, rightmost, etc. container in sub-tree. For example, if
383 * direction is D_LEFT, then we return the rightmost container and if direction
384 * is D_RIGHT, we return the leftmost container. This is because if we are
385 * moving D_LEFT, and thus want the rightmost container.
387 Con *con_descend_direction(Con *con, direction_t direction);
390 * Returns a "relative" Rect which contains the amount of pixels that need to
391 * be added to the original Rect to get the final position (obviously the
392 * amount of pixels for normal, 1pixel and borderless are different).
395 Rect con_border_style_rect(Con *con);
398 * Returns adjacent borders of the window. We need this if hide_edge_borders is
401 adjacent_t con_adjacent_borders(Con *con);
404 * Use this function to get a container’s border style. This is important
405 * because when inside a stack, the border style is always BS_NORMAL.
406 * For tabbed mode, the same applies, with one exception: when the container is
407 * borderless and the only element in the tabbed container, the border is not
410 * For children of a CT_DOCKAREA, the border style is always none.
413 int con_border_style(Con *con);
416 * Sets the given border style on con, correctly keeping the position/size of a
420 void con_set_border_style(Con *con, int border_style, int border_width);
423 * This function changes the layout of a given container. Use it to handle
424 * special cases like changing a whole workspace to stacked/tabbed (creates a
425 * new split container before).
428 void con_set_layout(Con *con, layout_t layout);
431 * This function toggles the layout of a given container. toggle_mode can be
432 * either 'default' (toggle only between stacked/tabbed/last_split_layout),
433 * 'split' (toggle only between splitv/splith) or 'all' (toggle between all
437 void con_toggle_layout(Con *con, const char *toggle_mode);
440 * Determines the minimum size of the given con by looking at its children (for
441 * split/stacked/tabbed cons). Will be called when resizing floating cons
444 Rect con_minimum_size(Con *con);
447 * Returns true if changing the focus to con would be allowed considering
448 * the fullscreen focus constraints. Specifically, if a fullscreen container or
449 * any of its descendants is focused, this function returns true if and only if
450 * focusing con would mean that focus would still be visible on screen, i.e.,
451 * the newly focused container would not be obscured by a fullscreen container.
453 * In the simplest case, if a fullscreen container or any of its descendants is
454 * fullscreen, this functions returns true if con is the fullscreen container
455 * itself or any of its descendants, as this means focus wouldn't escape the
456 * boundaries of the fullscreen container.
458 * In case the fullscreen container is of type CF_OUTPUT, this function returns
459 * true if con is on a different workspace, as focus wouldn't be obscured by
460 * the fullscreen container that is constrained to a different workspace.
462 * Note that this same logic can be applied to moving containers. If a
463 * container can be focused under the fullscreen focus constraints, it can also
464 * become a parent or sibling to the currently focused container.
467 bool con_fullscreen_permits_focusing(Con *con);
470 * Checks if the given container has an urgent child.
473 bool con_has_urgent_child(Con *con);
476 * Make all parent containers urgent if con is urgent or clear the urgent flag
477 * of all parent containers if there are no more urgent children left.
480 void con_update_parents_urgency(Con *con);
483 * Set urgency flag to the container, all the parent containers and the workspace.
486 void con_set_urgency(Con *con, bool urgent);
489 * Create a string representing the subtree under con.
492 char *con_get_tree_representation(Con *con);
495 * force parent split containers to be redrawn
498 void con_force_split_parents_redraw(Con *con);
501 * Returns the window title considering the current title format.
504 i3String *con_parse_title_format(Con *con);
507 * Swaps the two containers.
510 bool con_swap(Con *first, Con *second);
