Generic Function

Summary

Returns the geometry of the top level interface.

Package

capi

Signature

top-level-interface-geometry interface => tx , ty , twidth , theight

Arguments

interface

An interface.

Values

tx, ty, twidth, theight

Integers.

Description

The generic function top-level-interface-geometry returns the coordinates of the given interface in a form suitable for use as the :best-x, :best-y, :best-width and :best-height initargs to interface. The value of interface should be a top level interface.

tx and ty are measured from the top-left of the screen rectangle representing the area of the primary monitor (the primary screen rectangle).

Notes

On Cocoa, the result does not account for the size of the interface toolbar, if present in interface .

Example

;; Define and display an interface.

(capi:define-interface test ()

 ()

 (:panes (panel capi:list-panel)))

(setq int (capi:display (make-instance 'test)))

;; Now manually position the interface somewhere.

;; Find where the interface is.

(multiple-value-setq (tx ty twidth theight)

 (capi:top-level-interface-geometry int))

;; Now manually close the interface.

;; Create a new interface in the same place.

(setq int 

      (capi:display 

       (make-instance 

        'test

        :best-x tx

        :best-y ty

        :best-width twidth

        :best-height theight)))
