Screen Sizer

Mon, 01/07/2008 - 01:56 pm

This module will generate a set of globals containing the current screen size in pixels and points. It also contains functions to move, shift, or size any type of window or set of window types/kinds using percentage of screen/frame values.

Features

The list of functions are too long for one page. They are collapsed here for general information. Specific functions listed here may take different parameters than apparent-optional or function specific values go in place of ... or []. Almost all Window functions work on the frontmost, a specific, or a list of windows. They can generally be applied to command, graphs, panels, tables, or procedures, sometimes with type or kind casting and/or exclusion lists. See the help file for details.
