              decorations.

       East

DESCRIPTION

       When  client  window is mapped on screen - Window Manager draws some frame decorations around it, such as
       Titlebar, resize handles, etc. As such decorations take additional space, it is nesseccary to specify  if
       resulting  larger window should be moved on screen in any particular direction in order to compensate for
       discrepancy in size. This is determined by Gravity hint.

       Usually Gravity is set by client itself, depending  on  geometry  specified  by  the  user.  For  example
       geometry  -10+100  will  set gravity to NorthEast, while +10+100 will set gravity to NorthWest. Sometimes
       this gravity setting requested by application is incorrect  though,  due  to  longstanding  tradition  of
       misinterpretation  of  its  meaning. In this cases it may be desired to override gravity. AfterStep users
       can accomplish that using database file, and definig new Style  for  specific  application  with  Gravity
       attribute  set. For example it is recommended to set gravity of popular image viewver XV to be Static, as
       it tends to move self assuming that it knows everything.

       Below are the list of possible gravity values with explanation of its meaning.
