# XkbComputeSectionBounds(3)

Update the bounding box of a section

## NAME

XkbComputeSectionBounds - Update the bounding box of a section

## SYNOPSIS

**Bool XkbComputeSectionBounds** **(XkbGeometryPtr** *geom***,** **XkbSectionPtr** *section***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- *geom*

  geometry that contains the section

- *section*

  section to be examined and updated

## DESCRIPTION

 If you add or delete a row to or from a section, or if you change the geometry of any of the rows in that section, you may need to update the bounding box for that section.

*XkbComputeSectionBounds* examines all the rows of the *section* and updates the bounding box of that section so that it contains all rows. *XkbComputeSectionBounds* returns False if any of the arguments is NULL; otherwise, it returns True.
