[9fans] Rio: possibility to forbid resizing a window?

[9fans] Rio: possibility to forbid resizing a window?

[tlaronde]

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

I wonder if it would work if wctl was chmod to read-only? Might break other
things.

Hum... 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).

Thanks. I will give a look to the code.
