Thanks for the suggestion, but I imagine that rio, when a user resizes with the mouse a window, does not send commands, pixel by pixel, to the window for resizing but call the very code called for the command passed via wctl? Actually, I will not use neither wctl, nor cons or mouse, since the window is just for the graphical display. I will not fork either a process and will just draw using the $wsys hierachy (since the namespace is the one of METAFONT and the particular window files in the namespace will be the ones of the shell where mf was called). > > On Thu, 31 Dec 2015, 9:08 a.m. wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > After a long delay, I'm working back on kerTeX and I'm adding the > > display for METAFONT (it's more interesting than one could think, since > > METAFONT is the program mainly ignored while being a drawing program > > and a rasterizer engine...). > > > > But once the size of the root window for display (the user can subdivise > > this root window from METAFONT) is given and the window created, the > > dimension should not be altered. > > > > There is the possibility, in X11, to give the window manager hints and > > to disallow resizing the window. > > > > Is there such possibility with rio? > > > > TIA > > -- > > Thierry Laronde > > http://www.kergis.com/ > > http://www.arts-po.fr/ > > Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C > > > > -- > > Thierry Laronde > > http://www.kergis.com/ > > http://www.arts-po.fr/ > > Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C > > > > -- Thierry Laronde http://www.kergis.com/ http://www.arts-po.fr/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C
