Hi,

I was wondering there was a command similar to the --geometry (feature in the system command line option (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/options.html#script)) but for the Command Line.

I know there is a command "windowsize" in which the user can specify the dimensions of the chimera instance, however where the chimera instance is located cannot be specified with this command. I want to be able to use a feature similar to --geometry where I can specify X and Y offsets of the top left corner of the window from the top left corner of the screen.

Thanks,

Chris

It isn't there now, but I'll look into adding it. Of course, it might not work on X11 because the window manager controls where windows are actually placed (ie., it's free to alter any part of the geometry request it wishes so a tiling window manager can guarantee that windows don't overlap).

I've added a "windoworigin x y" command to the chimera daily build. If you just type windoworigin by itself, it will report the current origin. - Greg
