A possible placement of some windows: 1 is the root window, which covers the whole screen; 2 and 3 are top-level windows; 4 and 5 are subwindows of 2. The parts of window that are outside its parent are not visible. What other graphical user interfaces usually call a window is a top-level window in the X Window System.
The X Window System (X11, or simply X; stylized 𝕏) is a windowing system for bitmap displays, common on Unix-like operating systems.. X originated as part of Project Athena at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1984. [3]
A possible placement of some windows: 1 is the root window, which covers the whole screen; 2 and 3 are top-level windows; 4 and 5 are subwindows of 2. The parts of a window that are outside its parent are not visible. A client can request the creation of a window. More precisely, it can request the creation of a subwindow of an existing window.

The extension allows defining the shape of two separate regions: the clipping and the bounding regions. These two areas are defined even for windows not using the shape extension: the clipping region is the area that can be used for drawing, the bounding region is the total area covered by the window (that is, the clipping region plus the border).
For example, in a Unix-like operating system, the Display structure contains the file handle of the socket of this channel (this can be retrieved using the ConnectionNumber macro.) Most Xlib functions have a Display structure as an argument because they either operate on the channel or are relative to a specific channel.
Typical elements of a window.The window decoration is either drawn by the window manager or by the client. The drawing of the content is the task of the client. In computing, a windowing system (or window system) is a software suite that manages separately different parts of display screens. [1]
