This routine returns the position and size of a window. The units and coordinate system vary depending on the type of window you have.

If this is a legacy window (one compiled against a pre-XPLM300 version of the SDK, or an XPLM300 window that was not created using XPLMCreateWindowEx()), the units are pixels relative to the main X-Plane display.

If, on the other hand, this is a new X-Plane 11-style window (compiled against the XPLM300 SDK and created using XPLMCreateWindowEx()), the units are global desktop boxels.

Pass NULL to not receive any paramter.
