minsize(3G)  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

minsize − specifies the minimum size of a graphics window

SPECIFICATION

C
minsize(x, y)
long x, y;

FORTRAN
subroutine minsiz(x, y)
integer*4 x, y

Pascal
procedure minsize(x, y: longint);

DESCRIPTION

minsize specifies the minimum size of a graphics window under the window manager.  Call it at the beginning of a graphics program that runs under the window manager.  It takes effect when winopen is called.  You can also call minsize in conjuction with winconstraints to modify the enforced minimum size after the window has been created.  The default minimum size is 40 pixels wide and 30 pixels high.  You can reshape the  window, but the window manager does not allow it to become smaller than the specified minimum size. 

If minsize is called without winopen, or if the system is not running the window manager, the routine is ignored.
