How to set ADE-XL/Maestro to a given position and size

Hi Pedro,

I see the following .cdsenv variables for the size of the window, but not the bbox or size + location :

    maestro.window width int 1200
    maestro.window height int 0

Hopefully this helps?  The comment is that if the value is zero it uses the session window width/height, so perhaps set the above to 0 and use the schematic window bbox to determine the size & location?

Best regards,

Lawrence.

Hi Laurence,

Thanks for your reply. Where can I find a list of all "properties" of a tool. I know properties is the wrong word but I don't know it's name.

I am referring to things like:

maestro.window

viva.graphLabel

Viva.graphFrame

etc etc

Best regards,

Pedro

In IC6.1.8 and ICADVM18.1 there's Options->Cdsenv Editor where you can search for such settings.

Not sure that's what you want, but it may help.

Thanks Andrew.

Hi Pedro,

To find the above information I looked in the installation file: `cds_root virtuoso`/tools/dfII/etc/tools/maestro/.cdsenv - this is the file that Virtuoso read (each tool has its own for default settings, e.g. layout, schematic and so on).

Best regards,

Lawrence.

Great !

Thanks both.

Best regards,

Pedro

Good morning,

I have discovered a linux command (maybe you know it) that gives both the coordinates and dimensions of a given window.

So, you can do the following:

1. position and stretch any window the way you want
2. enter, on a linux terminal, the command "xwininfo"
3. click the window you would like to get the information from

You should end up with a result like the one below.

xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
would like information by clicking the
mouse in that window.

xwininfo: Window id: 0x2400003 "Terminal"

Absolute upper-left X: 2
Absolute upper-left Y: 57
Relative upper-left X: 2
Relative upper-left Y: 26
Width: 1917
Height: 1067
Depth: 24
Visual: 0x23
Visual Class: TrueColor
Border width: 0
Class: InputOutput
Colormap: 0x20 (installed)
Bit Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Backing Store State: NotUseful
Save Under State: no
Map State: IsViewable
Override Redirect State: no
Corners: +2+57 -1921+57 -1921-54 +2-54
-geometry 190x52+0+31

Best regards,

Pedro

PS: I am sorry if you already knew this.

Or rather more simply, in Virtuoso you can find this out using:

hiGetAbsWindowScreenBBox(hiGetCurrentWindow())

(the numbers are slightly different because it doesn't include all the window manager decorations, I believe). You can move the window using hiResizeWindow(...)

Andrew.

Thanks Andrew.

Is it possible to associate those instructions to an event triggered when the maximize button is pressed?
The goal of all of this is to resize the window for a given size, without maximizing it.

The reason behind this, is that I am using  VNC Viewer to control multiple monitors, buy they are seen as one monitor. Anytime I pressed the maximize button will span the windows across all monitors.

So I would like to redefine what the maximize button does to fit one screen only.

Thanks.

No, sorry. There's no trigger mechanism for this. The maximise button is part of the window manager, and not directly accessible by Virtuoso. I did wonder whether hiRegZoomPanProc would help, but maximise doesn't necessarily trigger a redraw, so it doesn't get called.

Andrew.
