Arrange(1)         AfterStep X11 window manager        Arrange(1)


NAME
       Arrange - AfterStep module for arranging windows in a tiling or cascad-
       ing order


SYNOPSIS
        Arrange [ standard options ]





CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
DESCRIPTION
       Arrange was developed to replace Tile and Cascade which were present in
       AfterStep  1.8  and  stopped working with the introduction of AfterStep
       2.0. Like Tile and Cascade Arrange can be used to tile or cascade  win-
       dows subject to certain constraints.

       By  default Arrange will cascade windows located on the current screen.


OPTIONS
       -a      Causes all window styles to be affected,  even  ones  with  the
              WindowListSkip style.


       -alldesks

              Causes windows on all desks to be effected.


       -desk    Causes  all  windows on the desk to be cascaded instead of the
              current screen only.


       -H      Causes windows to be tiled horizontaly. This will only have  an
              effect if -tile is passed.


       -incx arg

              Specifies  a horizontal increment which is successively added to
              arranged windows. arg is a percentage of screen width, or  pixel
              value if a p is suffixed. Default is 20p.


       -incy arg

              Specifies  a  vertical  increment which is successively added to
              arranged windows. arg is a percentage of screen height, or pixel
              value if a p is suffixed. Default is 20p.

       -m      Causes maximized windows to also be affected (implied by -all).


       -mn arg

              Tiles up to arg windows  in  tile  direction.  If  more  windows
              exist,  a  new  direction row or column is created (in effect, a
              matrix is created).


       -noraise

              Inhibits window raising, leaving the depth ordering intact.


       -nostretch

              Inhibits window expansion when using the  -resize  option.  Win-
              dows  will  only  shrink to fit the maximal width and height (if
              given).


       -pattern arg

              Only arrange windows matching the supplied pattern.


       -r      Reverses the window sequence.


       -resize

              Forces all windows to resize to the constrained width and height
              (if given).


       -s      Causes sticky windows to also be affected (implied by -all).


       -t      Causes transient windows to also be affected (implied by -all).


       -tile   Causes windows to be tiled not cascaded.


       -u      Causes untitled windows to also be affected (implied by  -all).



INVOCATION
       Arrange  can be invoked from the autoexec file or by binding the action
       "Module Arrange [args]" to a key-stroke in a feel file.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       Command-line arguments passed to Arrange are described in  the  OPTIONS
       section.

       Up  to  four  numbers  can  be  placed on the command line that are not
       switches. The first pair specify an x and y offset to start  the  first
       window  (default  is 0, 0). The second pair specify an absolute coordi-
       nate reference denoting the lower right bounding box for tiling. If any
       number  is  suffixed  with the letter p, then it is taken to be a pixel
       value, otherwise it is interpreted as a screen  percentage.  Specifying
       zero for any parameter is equivalent to not specifying it.


       This  invocation  will  horizontally  tile  windows with a bounding box
       which starts at 10 by 10 percent into and down the screen and  ends  at
       90 by 90 percent into and down the screen.

       Arrange 10 10 90 90 -tile -H


       It  is  probably  not  a  good idea to delete windows while windows are
       being arranged.
