normal-exterior

Arguments: window

Returns the exterior that a window has or would have when its state is :normal. This may be useful, for example, for finding the official window size to save with an application's user preferences even if the window is maximized or iconized when preferences are saved.

When the state of the window is either :normal or :shrunk, the returned box is the same as the one returned by exterior. When the state is :maximized or :icon, the returned box is the exterior that the window would have if its state were changed to :normal, which is generally the exterior that it had when the state was most recently :normal.

The returned value is a box, as made with make-box. The returned box should not be modified, because the box object is cached and reused to avoid consing.
