toolplaces - display current SunView window locations, sizes, and other attributes

SYNOPSIS

toolplaces [ -o|O|u ] [ -help ]

AVAILABILITY

This command is available with the [a manual with the abbreviation SVBG] software installation option. Refer to [a manual with the abbreviation INSTALL] for information on how to install optional software.

DESCRIPTION

toolplaces generates position, size, label, and program attributes for the windows running on a SunView screen at the time of execution. (toolplaces does not work when SunView is not running.)

Many people redirect standard output from toolplaces to the .sunview file, so as to reuse the current window system attributes each time they execute sunview.1

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 sunview format.

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

shelltool  -Wp  491 795 -Ws 580  87 -WP    0 836 -C 
clock  -Wp  120 120 -Ws 122  55 -WP 1086 826 -Wi \
	-Wl " open clock" -S -r -d wdm 
shelltool  -Wp  491 166 -Ws 650 567 -WP  702 836 \
