4.3.3 window

A window object specifies size, position, and other window-system related information about a window in a device-independent way.

The syntax for a window object is:

 
window ::=

	[ "window" ]			(optional keyword)
	  [ "{" ]			(curly brace, often required)

	    			(any of the following, in any order)

		"size"  <xsize> <ysize>
				(size of the window)

		"position"  <xmin> <xmax> <ymin> <ymax>
				(position & size)


		"noborder"
				(specifies the window should
				 have no window border)

		"pixelaspect"  <aspect>
			    (specifies the true visual aspect ratio
			     of a pixel in this window in the sense
			     xsize/ysize, normally 1.0.
			     For stereo hardware which stretches the
			     display vertically by a factor of 2,
			     ``pixelaspect 0.5'' might do.
			     The value is used when computing the
			     projection of a camera associated with
			     this window.)

	  [ "}" ]			(matching closebrace)

Window objects are used in the Geomview window and ui-panel commands to set default properties for future windows or to change those of an existing window.
