ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.5) _______________________________________________________________________________ geo <geometry> "geometry" DESCRIPTION: 'geo' is used to move or resize the window. <geometry> must be in one of the following forms: WxH+x+y make the window W pixels wide and H pixels high, and place the upper left corner of the window at screen (x,y) (where (0,0) indicates the upper left corner of the screen WxH make the window W pixels wide and H pixels high; the window's upper left corner is placed at the upper left corner of the screen cWxH+x+y the leading 'c' tells 'geo' to make the window W columns wide and H rows high instead of interpreting W and H as pixel counts; the upper left corner of the window is placed at the (x,y) screen position cWxH make the window W columns wide and H rows high; since no (x,y) offset pair is specified, the window's upper left corner maintains its current position Other variations on the (x,y) offset pair are allowed. More specifically, 'x' and 'y' can be preceded individually by either '+' or '-'; the signs are interpreted as follows: +x+y place the upper left corner of the window x pixels from the left screen border and y pixels from the top screen border +x-y place the lower left corner of the window x pixels from the left screen border and y pixels from the bottom screen border -x+y place the upper right corner of the window x pixels from the right screen border and y pixels from the top screen border -x-y place the lower right corner of the window x pixels from the right screen border and y pixels from the lower screen border The 'geo' command with no parameters displays the current window geometry in the message window. NOTES ON CHARACTER GEOMETRIES: When you specify width and height in characters on the geo command. Ce will size the window based on the size of the font currently in use. For variable width fonts, the width of the widest character is used. All the supported fonts have a fixed height. The sized window is the main edit or transcript pad not counting the Ce "Command:" window. Thus the command "geo c80x24" will give a window 80 columns wide by 24 rows plus an extra row for the "Command:" window. The character based geometry does not take into account the scroll bar, the line number region, the "UNIX:" command window, or the pull down menu area. These all use up some of the 80 columns and 24 lines. With some variation based on font size, the Unix command window, the pulldown menu, and horizontal scroll bar each take between 1 and 2 lines. The vertical scroll bar is 14 pixels wide and can use about 2 characters. The line number field is about 7 characters wide. It is not practical to try to adjust the geometry for these window areas with using character sizes because they can appear and disappear without the window changing shape. It would be distracting to resize the window when the scroll bar appeared.
