FvwmRearrange(1) FvwmRearrange(1)
NAME
FvwmRearrange - rearrange FVWM windows
SYNOPSIS
FvwmRearrange is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will
work.
DESCRIPTION
This module can be called to tile or cascade windows.
When tiling the module attempts to tile windows on the current screen
subject to certain constraints. Horizontal or vertical tiling is per-
formed so that each window does not overlap another, and by default
each window is resized to its nearest resize increment (note sometimes
some space might appear between tiled windows -- this is why).
When cascading the module attempts to cascade windows on the current
screen subject to certain constraints. Layering is performed so con-
secutive windows will have their window titles visible underneath the
previous.
INVOCATION
FvwmRearrange is best invoked from a menu, pop up or button. There are
a number of command line options which can be used to constrain the
layering, these are described below. As an example case, one could
call FvwmRearrange with the following arguments:
FvwmRearrange -tile -h 10 10 90 90
or
FvwmRearrange -cascade -resize 10 2 80 70
The first invocation will horizontally tile windows with a bounding box
which starts at 10 by 10 percent into and down the screen and ends at
90 by 90 percent into and down the screen.
The second invocation will cascade windows starting 10 by 2 percent
into and down the screen. Windows will be constrained to 80 by 70 per-
cent of the screen dimensions. Since the resize is also specified,
windows will be resized to the given constrained width and height.
FvwmRearrange can be called as FvwmTile or FvwmCascade. This is equiva-
lent to providing the -tile or -cascade option. This form is obsolete
and supplied for backwards compatibility only.
Command-line arguments passed to FvwmRearrange are described here.
-a Causes all window styles to be affected, even ones with the Win-
dowListSkip style.
-cascade
Cascade windows. This argument must be the first on the command
line. This is the default.
-desk Causes all windows on the desk to be cascaded/tiled instead of
the current screen only.
-flatx Inhibits border width increment. Only used when cascading.
-flaty Inhibits border height increment. Only used when cascading.
-h Tiles horizontally (default is to tile vertically). Used for
tiling only.
-incx arg
Specifies a horizontal increment which is successively added to
cascaded windows. arg is a percentage of screen width, or pixel
value if a p is suffixed. Default is zero. Used only for cas-
cading.
-incy arg
Specifies a vertical increment which is successively added to
cascaded windows. arg is a percentage of screen height, or
pixel value if a p is suffixed. Default is zero. Used only for
cascading.
-m Causes maximized windows to also be affected (implied by -all).
-mn arg
Tiles up to arg windows in tile direction. If more windows
exist, a new direction row or column is created (in effect, a
matrix is created). Used only when tiling windows.
-noraise
Inhibits window raising, leaving the depth ordering intact.
-noresize
Inhibits window resizing, leaving window sizes intact. This is
the default when cascading windows.
-nostretch
If tiling: inhibits window growth to fit tile. Windows are
shrunk to fit the tile but not expanded.
If cascading: inhibits window expansion when using the -resize
option. Windows will only shrink to fit the maximal width and
height (if given).
-r Reverses the window sequence.
-resize
Forces all windows to resize to the constrained width and height
(if given). This is the default when tiling windows.
-s Causes sticky windows to also be affected (implied by -all).
-t Causes transient windows to also be affected (implied by -all).
-tile Tile windows. This argument must be the first on the command
line.
-u Causes untitled windows to also be affected (implied by -all).
Up to four numbers can be placed on the command line that are
not switches. The first pair specify an x and y offset to start
the first window (default is 0, 0). The meaning of the second
pair depends on operation mode:
When tiling windows it specifies an absolute coordinate refer-
ence denoting the lower right bounding box for tiling.
When cascading it specifies a maximal width and height for the
layered windows. If an affected window exceeds either this width
or height, it is resized to the maximal width or height.
If any number is suffixed with the letter p, then it is taken to
be a pixel value, otherwise it is interpreted as a screen per-
centage. Specifying zero for any parameter is equivalent to not
specifying it.
BUGS
It is probably not a good idea to delete windows while windows are
being rearranged.
