wdf <n> <geometry>
"window default position"
DESCRIPTION:
'wdf' is used to instruct ce to assign default geometries to newly
created ce windows. ce maintains a list of geometry specifications,
numbered 1 through 12. Whenever a new window is created, the next
geometry on the list is applied. When the last geometry on the list
is used, ce wraps around to the first geometry on the list for the
next window's position and size.
<n> must be in the range 1-12. <geometry> must be a valid ce geometry
specification of the form:
[c]<width>X<height>[{+|-}<x>{+|-}<y>].
The leading 'c' is optional; if specified, ce interprets the width
and height geometry values as character columns and rows instead of x
and y pixels. Character width is the maximum character width in the
current font.
A convenient way to use this feature is to place wdf commands in your
ce key definition file.
Example:
wdf 1 c80x30+25+25
wdf 2 c80x30+50+50
wdf 3 c80x30+75+75
wdf 4 c80x30+100+100
wdf 5 c80x30+125+125
wdf 6 c80x30+150+150
wdf 7 c80x30+175+175
wdf 8 c80x30+200+200
wdf 9 c80x30+225+225
wdf 10 c80x30+250+250
wdf 11 c80x30+275+275
wdf 12 c80x30+300+300
This set of wdf definitions causes new ce windows to be created with
80 text columns, 30 text rows, and cascading from the upper left
corner of the screen, separated from each other by 25 characters in
each direction. Not all numbers in the 1 to 12 sequence need be
present and gaps in the numbers are allowed. When the list is used,
unused slots are squeezed out.
Geometry specifications provided on the command line or via an X
resource override wdf specifications. If the wdf commands do not
appear to be working, use the shell command "xrdb -q" to display the
current X resources if they were loaded with "xrdb -load <file>". Look
for any resources of the "form *.geometry : <something>". If this
is found, change your .Xdefaults file to contain "Ce.geometry : ".
This line will provide a null value for geometry resources in Ce and
allow wdf to work. On HP machines the resources are found in
$HOME/.vue/sessions/home/vue.resources.
NOTE:
The wfc information is in a property hung off the Root window of your
display. Every 'wdf' command appends to this property. Thus if you are
playing around executing 'wdf' commands, and then do a 'wdf' with no
arguments to see what you have, you will see some lines multiple times.
The last instance of a line shown is the one used. Also, to clear out
all the wdf's, execute 'wdf -1'.
