Placement(1x) AfterStep X11 window manager Placement(1x)
NAME
Placement - AfterStep supports several different window placement policies. Some of them designed to fill free space, and some allowing for
windows to be placed on top of others.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Cascade
Windows will be placed in cascading order.
Manual
Windows must be placed manually.
RandomPlacement
Windows will be placed randomply, in space unobstructed by windows that have AvoidCover attribute set.
SmartPlacement
Most suitable free space area will be chosen to place window in. If no such area is found of sufficient size - window will be placed
using secondary placement strategy, or manually, if no secondary strategy is specified.
Tile
Windows will be tiled in free space. If no space of suitable size is found, then secondary placement strategy is engaged, or window
will have to be placed manually. This is similar to SmartPlacement, except that suitable space is chosen following direction
left-to-right, top-to-bottom, instead of looking for space, most fitting the window size (the way SmartPlacement works).
