- Status XQueryBestSize(Display

int height, unsigned int *width_return, unsigned int *height_return); 
- Status XQueryBestTile(Display *display, Drawable

Specifies the class that you are interested
in. You can pass  TileShape,   CursorShape,   or  StippleShape.   
Specifies
the connection to the X server. 
 
Specify the width and height. 
Specifies any drawable on the screen. 
 
Return the width and height of the object best supported  by the display
hardware. 
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. 
XQueryBestStipple 
 can generate BadDrawable   and BadMatch   errors. 
- 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.
