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



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




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
       windows 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.
