GdkAnchorHints

Positioning hints for aligning a window relative to a rectangle.

These hints determine how the window should be positioned in the case that the window would fall off-screen if placed in its ideal position.

For example, GDK_ANCHOR_FLIP_X will replace GDK_GRAVITY_NORTH_WEST with GDK_GRAVITY_NORTH_EAST and vice versa if the window extends beyond the left or right edges of the monitor.

If GDK_ANCHOR_SLIDE_X is set, the window can be shifted horizontally to fit on-screen. If GDK_ANCHOR_RESIZE_X is set, the window can be shrunken horizontally to fit.

In general, when multiple flags are set, flipping should take precedence over sliding, which should take precedence over resizing.
