Re: Nailing down GUI's

The normal convention for apps on X-Windows is to be able to set the
geometry:
I haven't tried it for xemc, but the syntax would be something like

xemc -geometry WxH+x+y

i.e., xemc -geometry 200x300+50-30

would specify the window to be 200 by 300 at 50 pixels from left and 30
from bottom
One usually adds that kind of info to the Application default resourse file
XEmc
as

XEmc*geometry: 200x300+50-30

Subject:  Nailing down GUI's



 One for the GUI/Xwindows experts.

Is there aneasy way of getting a GUI - be it Xemc or tkemc to appear in the
same screen position every time emc is run ?
I have a few thoughts of using a touch screen as part of the man-machine
interface (thanks Arne) and forsee a few problems if the GUI is in a
different
position every time.
