Subject: New window configuration syntax
Date: 14 Dec 1995 22:56:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <w8szqcv2tte.fsf@surt.ifi.uio.no> (raw)

I think we'll call it `gnus-frame-configuration' this time.  :-)

I don't remember who came up with the syntax, but it's pretty neat and
easy to work with:

CONFIG ::= (SPLIT ...)
SPLIT ::= (horizontal size SPLIT ...) |
          (vertical size SPLIT) |
          (buffer size [point])

So it's a recursive structure inside each frame.  (Each SPLIT in
CONFIG is a separate frame.)  *All* thinkable window configurations
are possible.  (Unless you're a person who thinks the unthinkable.) 

So now we have `gnus-frame-configuration', `gnus-buffer-configuration'
and `gnus-window-configuration', in order of presedence.
Uhmn... perhaps I'll just ditch `gnus-buffer-configuration'.  It's
easy enough for users to translate a `gnus-buffer-configuration' into
a `gnus-frame-configuration'.
