* [9fans] Rio: possibility to forbid resizing a window? @ 2015-12-31 17:08 tlaronde 2015-12-31 19:33 ` Skip Tavakkolian 2016-01-01 22:58 ` erik quanstrom 0 siblings, 2 replies; 5+ messages in thread From: tlaronde @ 2015-12-31 17:08 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs 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?

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. <tlaronde@polynum.com> 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 <tlaronde +AT+ polynum +dot+ com> > > http://www.kergis.com/ > > http://www.arts-po.fr/ > > Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C > > > > -- > > Thierry Laronde <tlaronde +AT+ polynum +dot+ com> > > http://www.kergis.com/ > > http://www.arts-po.fr/ > > Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C > > > > -- Thierry Laronde <tlaronde +AT+ polynum +dot+ com> http://www.kergis.com/ http://www.arts-po.fr/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
