Placement(1)             AfterStep X11 window manager             Placement(1)



NAME
       Placement - AfterStep supports several different window placement
       policies. Some of them designed to fill free space, and some allowing
       for windows to be placed on top of others.




CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       Cascade

              Windows will be placed in cascading order.



       Manual

              Windows must be placed manually.



       RandomPlacement

              Windows will be placed randomply, in space unobstructed by
              windows that have AvoidCover attribute set.



       SmartPlacement

              Most suitable free space area will be chosen to place window in.
              If no such area is found of sufficient size - window will be
              placed using secondary placement strategy, or manually, if no
              secondary strategy is specified.



       Tile

              Windows will be tiled in free space. If no space of suitable
              size is found, then secondary placement strategy is engaged, or
              window will have to be placed manually. This is similar to
              SmartPlacement, except that suitable space is chosen following
              direction left-to-right, top-to-bottom, instead of looking for
              space, most fitting the window size (the way SmartPlacement
              works).
