TOOLPLACES(1) — USER COMMANDS

NAME

toolplaces − show current window tool locations, sizes, and other attributes

SYNOPSIS

toolplaces [ −u|o|O ] [ −help ]

DESCRIPTION

toolplaces generates position, size, label, and program attributes for the windows running on a window system screen at the time of execution. (toolplaces doesn’t work when the window system isn’t running.)

Many people redirect standard output from toolplaces to the .suntools file, so as to reuse the current window system attributes each time they execute suntools, the window system program.

For each window on the screen at execution time, toolplaces shows:

the tool name
the "open" window position
the size of the window in pixels
the "closed," or icon, window position
an indicator of whether the window is open or closed
the label at the top of the window
the name of the program running in the window, if a

program is running there

any flags or options to a program running in the window

toolplaces describes each window on one output line, as long as necessary, using the current suntools format.

Current suntools format consists of window tool descriptions, one per line, as in this example (the \ indicates that the current line continues on the next line):

clocktool -Wp 120 120 -Ws 122 55 -WP 1086 826 -Wi \
-Wl " open clock" -S -r -d wdm
shelltool -Wp    0 510 -Ws 490 343 -WP 256 836 \
-Wl "Task Window: /bin/csh" /usr/local/emacs task.file
