NAME

       FvwmRearrange - rearrange fvwm windows

SYNOPSIS

       FvwmRearrange is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.

DESCRIPTION

       This module can be called to tile or cascade windows.

       When  tiling  the module attempts to tile windows on the current screen subject to certain
       constraints.  Horizontal or vertical tiling is performed so  that  each  window  does  not
       overlap  another,  and  by  default each window is resized to its nearest resize increment
       (note sometimes some space might appear between tiled windows -- this is why).

       When cascading the module attempts to cascade windows on the  current  screen  subject  to
       certain  constraints.  Layering is performed so consecutive windows will have their window
       titles visible underneath the previous.

INVOCATION

       FvwmRearrange is best invoked from a menu, pop up  or  button.   There  are  a  number  of
       command  line  options  which  can  be used to constrain the layering, these are described
       below.  As an example case, one could call FvwmRearrange with the following arguments:
       FvwmRearrange -tile -h 10 10 90 90
       or
       FvwmRearrange -cascade -resize 10 2 80 70

       The first 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.

       The second invocation will cascade windows starting 10 by 2  percent  into  and  down  the
       screen.   Windows will be constrained to 80 by 70 percent of the screen dimensions.  Since
       the resize is also specified, windows will be resized to the given constrained  width  and
       height.

       FvwmRearrange  can  be  called as FvwmTile or FvwmCascade. This is equivalent to providing
       the  -tile  or  -cascade  option.  This  form  is  obsolete  and  supplied  for  backwards
       compatibility only.

       Command-line arguments passed to FvwmRearrange are described here.

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

       -animate
              Attempt to do an animated move, this is ignored if -resize or -maximize are used.

       -cascade
              Cascade  windows. This argument must be the first on the command line.  This is the
              default.

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

       -flatx Inhibits border width increment. Only used when cascading.

       -flaty Inhibits border height increment. Only used when cascading.

       -h     Tiles horizontally (default is to tile vertically). Used for tiling only.

       -incx arg
              Specifies  a  horizontal increment which is successively added to cascaded windows.
              arg is a percentage of screen width, or pixel value if a p is suffixed.  Default is
              zero. Used only for cascading.

       -incy arg
              Specifies  a  vertical  increment  which is successively added to cascaded windows.
              arg is a percentage of screen height, or pixel value if a p is  suffixed.   Default
              is zero. Used only for cascading.

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

       -maximize
              When moving/resizing a window, put it also into maximized state.

       -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). Used  only  when  tiling
              windows.

       -noanimate
              Do not attempt to do an animated move.

       -nomaximize
              Do not put windows into maximized state.

       -noraise
              Inhibits window raising, leaving the depth ordering intact.

       -noresize
              Inhibits  window  resizing,  leaving  window sizes intact. This is the default when
              cascading windows.

       -nostretch
              If tiling: inhibits window growth to fit tile.  Windows are shrunk to fit the  tile
              but not expanded.

              If  cascading:  inhibits  window  expansion when using the -resize option.  Windows
              will only shrink to fit the maximal width and height (if given).

       -r     Reverses the window sequence.

       -resize
              Forces all windows to resize to the constrained width and height (if  given).  This
              is the default when tiling windows.

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

       -sp    Causes windows sticky across pages to also be affected (implied by -a).

       -sd    Causes windows sticky across desks to also be affected (implied by -a).

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

       -tile  Tile windows. This argument must be the first on the command line.

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

       -ewmhiwa
              When  rearranging  windows,  make  the calculation ignore the working area, such as
              EwmhBaseStruts; by default, FvwmRearrange will honour the working area.

              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 meaning of the second pair depends on operation mode:

              When tiling windows it specifies an  absolute  coordinate  reference  denoting  the
              lower right bounding box for tiling.

              When  cascading it specifies a maximal width and height for the layered windows. If
              an affected window exceeds either this width  or  height,  it  is  resized  to  the
              maximal width or height.

              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.

BUGS

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