Re: [osg-users] How to prevent resize of viewer window (WindowsandLinux)

2012-02-29 Thread Robert Osfield 
Hi Karl,

Is that you are trying to prevent the resize done by the window
manager?  Under X11 there is the override redirect flag to prevent the
window manager taking control of the window size so you can get
exactly the size you want, however, it also prevents the window
manager from decorating the window so only ideal for full screen
windows.  To set this flag when creating your GraphicsWindows set the
osg::Traits::overrideRedirect member variable to true.

Robert.

Hi, Karl,

Sounds like you've got a different problem to me.

My patch is only for preventing the interactive resizing of the window 
(i.e: by clicking the mouse on the window's border and dragging it).


I've seen problems like you mention before (I'm guessing you're on 
Linux).  Usually, some combination of options to the xorg.conf file can 
be set to fix it, or at least make it behave consistently.  If you're 
using the NVIDIA proprietary driver, check the driver's README.txt file 
for a list of options you can set.

I found a little program I can test with.  It looks like the MWM
property for resizing is being set correctly, just the window manager
(Metacity, in my case) is ignoring it.  I'm putting together a
submission that uses the ICCCM hints instead.
