X.11 window geometry y
The geometry variable of an X.11 window specifies its size and its placement on the screen. The
specified with the geometry resource, has the form:
<
w>x<h>+<xoff>+<yoff>
Here w and h give the width and height of the window, measured in pixels. The values xoff and yoff give the
offset in pixels from the screen's left edge and top edge respectively. If the '+' preceding is replaced by '-',
xoff and yoff give the offset of the screen's right edge or bottom edge. For example:
300x400+200+100
width: 300 pixel, height: 400 pixel
top left corner positioned at x=200, y=100
relative to the top left corner of the screen;
300x400
width: 300 pixel, height: 400 pixel
position not specified;
300x400-200+100
width: 300 pixel, height: 400 pixel
top right corner positioned at x=200, y=100
relative to the top right corner of the screen;
300x400-200-100
width: 300 pixel, height: 400 pixel
bottom right corner positioned at x=200, y=100
relative to the bottom right corner of the screen.
You can omit any of the elements in the geometry specification (e. g., the position in -canvasGeom
300x400). The window manager – a special client controlling the layout of the windows – will use default val-
ues for the missing elements.
Example for –canvasDisplay
The canvas and control panel can be displayed on different desktops. The control panel can be directed to any
host computer with the option –display. In this case, the canvas panel can be directed to A
tion –canvasDisplay.
