geo <geometry>
"geometry"
DESCRIPTION:
'geo' is used to move or resize the window. <geometry> must be in one
of the following forms:
WxH+x+y make the window W pixels wide and H pixels high, and
place the upper left corner of the window at screen
(x,y) (where (0,0) indicates the upper left corner of
the screen
WxH make the window W pixels wide and H pixels high; the
window's upper left corner is placed at the upper left
corner of the screen
cWxH+x+y the leading 'c' tells 'geo' to make the window W
columns wide and H rows high instead of interpreting W
and H as pixel counts; the upper left corner of the
window is placed at the (x,y) screen position
cWxH make the window W columns wide and H rows high; since
no (x,y) offset pair is specified, the window's upper
left corner maintains its current position
Other variations on the (x,y) offset pair are allowed. More
specifically, 'x' and 'y' can be preceded individually by either '+'
or '-'; the signs are interpreted as follows:
+x+y place the upper left corner of the window x pixels
from the left screen border and y pixels from the top
screen border
+x-y place the lower left corner of the window x pixels
from the left screen border and y pixels from the
bottom screen border
-x+y place the upper right corner of the window x pixels
from the right screen border and y pixels from the top
screen border
-x-y place the lower right corner of the window x pixels
from the right screen border and y pixels from the
lower screen border
The 'geo' command with no parameters displays the current window geometry
in the message window.
NOTES ON CHARACTER GEOMETRIES:
When you specify width and height in characters on the geo command. Ce
will size the window based on the size of the font currently in use. For
variable width fonts, the width of the widest character is used. All the
supported fonts have a fixed height. The sized window is the main edit or
transcript pad not counting the Ce "Command:" window. Thus the command
"geo c80x24" will give a window 80 columns wide by 24 rows plus an extra
row for the "Command:" window.
The character based geometry does not take into account the scroll bar,
the line number region, the "UNIX:" command window, or the pull down menu
area. These all use up some of the 80 columns and 24 lines. With some
variation based on font size, the Unix command window, the pulldown menu,
and horizontal scroll bar each take between 1 and 2 lines. The vertical
scroll bar is 14 pixels wide and can use about 2 characters. The line
number field is about 7 characters wide.
It is not practical to try to adjust the geometry for these window areas
with using character sizes because they can appear and disappear without
the window changing shape. It would be distracting to resize the window
when the scroll bar appeared.
EXAMPLES:
