Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: feature Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: split out window placement into proc so plugins can override

Initial Comment: the first patch splits out window placement into proc so plugins can easily override it. This makes it easy for people to customize these calculations based on their Window Manager, desires, etc.

The second patch gets the size of the full desktop area rather than just the screen size. For setups with multiple screens, these will be different. The 'winfo screenwidth' will be the width of the main screen while 'wm maxsize' gives the maximum possible size of a window, which includes all screens.

Message: This makes it easy for people to customize these calculations based on their Window Manager, desires, etc. Unfortuantely, Tk/X11 makes it hard because it doesn't give you the measurements of the window chrome, only the window contents. more info here:

Message: I added a second patch which modifies this one that makes pdtk_canvas_new use screen size of full desktop area, not only the main screen. The 'winfo screenwidth' will be the width of the main screen while 'wm maxsize' gives the maximum possible size of a window, which includes all screens whe there are more than one.
