X11 Getting Title Bar Size - c

Question

I'm writing a simple text user interface with libX11 and I've got a set of code working for a basic library abstraction.
The problem is when I try to draw text, the title bar blocks the first line. So now I have to offset the vertical printing by about 20 pixels. Is there a way to determine the exact size of the title bar, so that I can properly offset each line of text?
Here's the code I have so far, and tui_puts is the function I need to do this for:
#include "tui.h"
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
struct tui_data {
Display * display;
Window id_window;
GC context_graphics;
XIM method_input;
XIC context_input;
XWindowAttributes spec_window;
XFontStruct * spec_font;
size_t offset_y;
size_t offset_x;
};
int tui_init (struct tui_session * ptr_tui){
memset (ptr_tui, 0, sizeof (struct tui_session));
ptr_tui->ptr_data = calloc (sizeof (struct tui_data), 1);
if (!ptr_tui->ptr_data) return -1;
ptr_tui->ptr_data->display = XOpenDisplay (0);
if (!ptr_tui->ptr_data->display) return -1;
int color_black = BlackPixel(ptr_tui->ptr_data->display, DefaultScreen(ptr_tui->ptr_data->display));
int color_white = WhitePixel(ptr_tui->ptr_data->display, DefaultScreen(ptr_tui->ptr_data->display));
ptr_tui->ptr_data->id_window = XCreateSimpleWindow(ptr_tui->ptr_data->display,
DefaultRootWindow(ptr_tui->ptr_data->display),

case ResizeRequest:
XGetWindowAttributes (ptr_tui->ptr_data->display,
ptr_tui->ptr_data->id_window,

ptr_event->type = TUI_EVENT_REPRINT;
ptr_event->value = 0;

ptr_event->type = 0;
ptr_event->value = 0;
}
return 0;
}
int tui_scroll (struct tui_session * ptr_tui, int offset){
return -1;
}
Also, here's an important structure:
typedef struct {
int x, y; /* location of window */
int width, height; /* width and height of window */
int border_width; /* border width of window */
int depth; /* depth of window */
Visual *visual; /* the associated visual structure */
Window root; /* root of screen containing window */
int class; /* InputOutput, InputOnly*/
int bit_gravity; /* one of the bit gravity values */
int win_gravity; /* one of the window gravity values */
int backing_store; /* NotUseful, WhenMapped, Always */
unsigned long backing_planes; /* planes to be preserved if possible */
unsigned long backing_pixel; /* value to be used when restoring planes */
Bool save_under; /* boolean, should bits under be saved? */
Colormap colormap; /* color map to be associated with window */
Bool map_installed; /* boolean, is color map currently installed*/
int map_state; /* IsUnmapped, IsUnviewable, IsViewable */
long all_event_masks; /* set of events all people have interest in*/
long your_event_mask; /* my event mask */
long do_not_propagate_mask; /* set of events that should not propagate */
Bool override_redirect; /* boolean value for override-redirect */
Screen *screen; /* back pointer to correct screen */
} XWindowAttributes;
And this was helpful for getting the horizontal offset of the client area, but I don't see anything that would help me get the vertical offset.

The origin is at the base line, so you have to add ptr_tui->ptr_data->spec_font->max_bounds.ascent instead of 20 if I'm not lost in your code.
