Yes, I'm calling my_win->position(0,y). > I have a vague recollection that fltk may try to resize/position the > window at creation, to get as much of it as possible on the screen (I > guess the assumption is that you want to get as much of your window > on-screen as possible, regardless of what you asked for, or > something...) Well, I'd like to have the freedom to place a window just about anywhere. After some testing... Testing the x value by trying to place the window such that part of it runs off the right side of the screen. For a window with: my_win->w() < Fl::w(), it looks like my first call to position() which is before the window is drawn does not work. The window is placed at Fl::x() - my_win->w(). The second call (after starting the event loop) does work. So, the x value is not honored until after the first draw. > It is entirely possible that the WM is also "helping" you out here, > too... Oh, I know how to test that (slaps forehead for not doing it earlier): turn off the wm. Aha! It's jwm doing it. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
