CREATE WINDOW
CREATE WINDOW [BLACK|WHITE] [NAME Name] [/GEOMETRY Sizex[Unitx]
Sizey[Unity]] [/POSITION Posx[Unitx] Posy[Unity]]
Create a new window seeing the content of the current directory, with
the corresponding attributes of background colour and Name. This command
is only available under X.
The window geometry is set:
- if the option /GEOMETRY is present, to the values given to this op-
tion, recognized units being 'p' for pixels, '%' for percent of the
screen size, and 'r' for a fraction (aspect ratio) of the other size
(units default is 'p' if omitted),
- else, to the values read in the SIC logical named WINDOW_GEOMETRY,
with the same syntax used for the option /GEOMETRY, if this SIC logi-
cal exists,
- else, to the internal default values.
The window position on the screen is then ruled:
- if the option /POSITION is present, by the values given to this op-
tion, recognized units being 'p' for pixels or '%' for percent of the
screen size (units default is 'p' if omitted),
- else, by the choice of the window manager.
For example:
GREG> CREATE WINDOW /GEOMETRY 400 2r
creates a window of size 400 x 800 pixels, and
GREG> CREATE WINDOW /POSITION 100% 100p
creates a window aligned on the right and 100 pixels above the bottom of
the screen.
