Configuring window size and location
Configuring window size and location
The size and location of a window is called its ``geometry''. Geometry specifies four components of a window: height, width, horizontal location, and vertical location.
This chapter describes:
background on window geometry
configuring the initial size and location of windows
resizing and repositioning the main Desktop
if you do not want it to occupy the entire Root window
There is also
an example
at the end of this chapter that helps tie together many of the concepts and procedures discussed in this chapter.
