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.
