Re: [PD] Control X,Y position of main Pd window at startup?
Thanks for scoping this out. I added this to Pd-extended so that it's easy to change. Ideally this would be a preference, but there needs to be some kind of preference framework to handle things like this. .hc On Jul 23, 2007, at 12:11 PM, Bjoern Hartmann wrote: > I'll answer my own question - > in file pd.tk, at the end of the "main window set up" section, > after lines > > wm title .

Re: [PD] Control X,Y position of main Pd window at startup?
I'll answer my own question - in file pd.tk, at the end of the "main window set up" section, after lines wm title . "Pd" . configure -menu .mbar -width 200 -height 150 add the following line to control main window position at startup: wm geometry . +x+y where (x,y) is the offset in pixels from the top left corner of the screen. So "wm geometry . +0+0" puts the pd main window in the top left corner of the leftmost screen.

[PD] Control X,Y position of main Pd window at startup?
Is there a way to control at which position the main Pd window appears on the screen on startup? For an individual patch, I can write desired values into the canvas definition line "#N canvas X Y ..." in the patch's pd file - but what about the main window/console? I suspect this may be possible by hacking pd.tk, but as I'm unfamiliar with Tcl/Tk I don't quite know where to look. I'm running Pd version 0.39.2-extended-rc3 on Win XP (gave up on Vista for now). -- Bjoern Hartmann Human Computer Interaction Group Stanford University ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
