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

netbug

Hi all,

I would like, whenever I open an ade-xl/maestro session, to center the window and resize it to a given width x height.

This is because I am using two displays as one and don't want every time I maximize the window, for it to span across both screens. So it would be handy to customize size and position.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Pedro

    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.

    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.
