You invoke tkgoodstuff by issuing a command of the following form:
|
||
|
|
<PRE>
|
||
|
|
tkgoodstuff [-geometry -3+0] [-f configfilename ]
|
||
|
|
</PRE>
|
||
|
|
Here, the brackets indicate optional arguments, which are discussed below.
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

<a name="geometry"><H2> Geometry </H2></a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are two geometry modes: screen-edge and normal:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3> Screen-edge mode </h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you set screen-edge mode ("no" by default) to "left", "right", "top",
|
||
|
|
or "bottom", tkgoodstuff will span that edge of the screen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3> Normal mode </h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If fullscreen mode is "no" (as by default), tkgoodstuff looks in two
|
||
|
|
places for geometry (screen location) information. A geometry
|
||
|
|
specification is a string that identifies a point on the screen by its
|
||
|
|
x and y distances in pixels from the top (or bottom) and left (or
|
||
|
|
right) edges of your screen:
|
||
|
|
<TABLE>
|
||
|
|
<TR>
|
||
|
|
<TH> Specification </TH> <TH> Puts the tkgoodstuff Panel . . . </TH>
|
||
|
|
</TR>
|
||
|
|
<TR>
|
||
|
|
<TD> +1-123 </TD> <TD> 1 pixel from the left and
|
||
|
|
123 pixels from the bottom of the screen </TD>
|
||
|
|
</TR>
|
||
|
|
<TR>
|
||
|
|
<TD> -1+123 </TD> <TD> 1 pixel from the right and
|
||
|
|
123 pixels from the bottom of the screen </TD>
|
||
|
|
</TR>
|
||
|
|
</TABLE>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
tkgoodstuff chooses the first geometry specification it finds in the
|
||
|
|
following ways:
|
||
|
|
<OL>
|
||
|
|
<LI> In the command line, as follows:
|
||
|
|
<PRE>
|
||
|
|
tkgoodstuff -geometry +34-88
|
||
|
|
</PRE>
|
||
|
|
</LI>
|
||
|
|
<LI> In the current preferences.
|
||
|
|
</LI>
|
||
|
|
</OL>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<a name="configfile"><H2>Determination of Configuration File </H2></a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
tkgoodstuff needs a configuration file to run. It uses the first
|
||
|
|
file it finds in the following ways:
|
||
|
|
<OL>
|
||
|
|
<LI> Named on the command line, as follows (where "configfilename" is the name
|
||
|
|
of your file):
|
||
|
|
<PRE>
|
||
|
|
tkgoodstuff -f configfilename
|
||
|
|
</PRE>
|
||
|
|
</LI>
|
||
|
|
<LI> In your home directory (as set in the environment variable
|
||
|
|
HOME) under the name .tkgrc.</LI>
|
||
|
|
<LI> In the tkgoodstuff directory (by default,
|
||
|
|
/usr/local/lib/tkgoodstuff), under the name <B>system-tkgrc</B>.
|
||
|
|
</OL>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using the "-f configfilename" form allows you to have many different
|
||
|
|
panels defined for different purposes.
