Arrange(1)		 AfterStep X11 window manager		    Arrange(1)

NAME
       Arrange - AfterStep module for arranging windows in a tiling or cascad‐
       ing order

SYNOPSIS
	Arrange [ standard options ]

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
DESCRIPTION
       Arrange was developed to replace Tile and Cascade which were present in
       AfterStep  1.8  and  stopped working with the introduction of AfterStep
       2.0. Like Tile and Cascade Arrange can be used to tile or cascade  win‐
       dows subject to certain constraints.

       By default Arrange will cascade windows located on the current screen.

OPTIONS
       -a

	      Causes all window styles to be affected, even ones with the Win‐
	      dowListSkip style.

       -alldesks

	      Causes windows on all desks to be effected.

       -desk

	      Causes all windows on the desk to be  cascaded  instead  of  the
	      current screen only.

       -H

	      Causes  windows  to be tiled horizontaly. This will only have an
	      effect if -tile is passed.

       -incx arg

	      Specifies a horizontal increment which is successively added  to
	      arranged	windows. arg is a percentage of screen width, or pixel
	      value if a p is suffixed. Default is 20p.

       -incy arg

	      Specifies a vertical increment which is  successively  added  to
	      arranged windows. arg is a percentage of screen height, or pixel
	      value if a p is suffixed. Default is 20p.

       -m

	      Causes maximized windows to also be affected (implied by -all).

       -mn arg

	      Tiles up to arg windows  in  tile	 direction.  If	 more  windows
	      exist,  a	 new  direction row or column is created (in effect, a
	      matrix is created).

       -noraise

	      Inhibits window raising, leaving the depth ordering intact.

       -nostretch

	      Inhibits window expansion when using the	-resize	 option.  Win-
	      dows  will  only	shrink to fit the maximal width and height (if
	      given).

       -pattern arg

	      Only arrange windows matching the supplied pattern.

       -r

	      Reverses the window sequence.

       -resize

	      Forces all windows to resize to the constrained width and height
	      (if given).

       -s

	      Causes sticky windows to also be affected (implied by -all).

       -t

	      Causes transient windows to also be affected (implied by -all).

       -tile

	      Causes windows to be tiled not cascaded.

       -u

	      Causes untitled windows to also be affected (implied by -all).

INVOCATION
       Arrange	can be invoked from the autoexec file or by binding the action
       "Module Arrange [args]" to a key-stroke in a feel file.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       Command-line arguments passed to Arrange are described in  the  OPTIONS
       section.

       Up  to  four  numbers  can  be  placed on the command line that are not
       switches. The first pair specify an x and y offset to start  the	 first
       window  (default	 is 0, 0). The second pair specify an absolute coordi-
       nate reference denoting the lower right bounding box for tiling. If any
       number  is  suffixed  with the letter p, then it is taken to be a pixel
       value, otherwise it is interpreted as a screen  percentage.  Specifying
       zero for any parameter is equivalent to not specifying it.

       This  invocation	 will  horizontally  tile  windows with a bounding box
       which starts at 10 by 10 percent into and down the screen and  ends  at
       90 by 90 percent into and down the screen.

       Arrange 10 10 90 90 -tile -H

       It  is  probably	 not  a	 good idea to delete windows while windows are
       being arranged.
