Command: wsize

Syntax

wsize <window>

Description

Re-size a window.

Parameters

• <window>
  A window identifier.

Switches

• -h=<num>
  The new height of the window in pixels.

• -j=<just>
  The justification of the window relative to the full screen. Any combination of L (left), R (right), T (top), B (bottom) and M (middle) is permitted. This is a string value and should be within quotes.

• -pos=<screen_xy>
  Redefine the new position of the top left corner of the window. <screen_xy> should be a 2-element numeric array, or two numeric values within hairpins. The values are in pixels with 0,0 being the top left corner of the full screen.

• -w=<num>
  The new width of the window in pixels.

Notes

If the switches are omitted, the window will be re-positioned via an interactive rubber box.

If the window is not currently in use, interactive re-sizing will not be performed, but the -pos values will be used to set the window position for when the window contents become defined.

A window can also be re-sized by window manager mouse action, or by redefining window structure values.

A resize procedure (window.resize) may be defined for a window. This will be executed automatically whenever a window’s size changes, just prior to its contents being repainted.

Examples

Interactive re-sizing.

wsize win1

Specific re-sizing.

wsize win1, -pos=<200,200>, -w=400, -h=400

Specific re-sizing by justification.

wsize win1, -j='TL', -w=500, -h=500
