autoArrange

layoutXL autoArrange boolean { t | nil }

Description

Controls whether Layout XL automatically rearranges its three windows on your desktop when you launch the application.

The default is t, meaning that the windows are positioned based on the values specified for the following environment variables.

• ciwWindow
• lamReadFileMessage
• schematicWindow

If those environment variables are not set, or they are set to the default value – "((0.0 0.0) (0.0 0.0))" – Layout XL tiles the three windows based on the height and width of your screen.

GUI Equivalent

Command:	Options – Connectivity (Display tab)

Examples

envGetVal("layoutXL" "autoArrange")

envSetVal("layoutXL" "autoArrange" 'boolean t)

envSetVal("layoutXL" "autoArrange" 'boolean nil)

Additional Information

If you are using dual monitors and you do not want Layout XL to occupy the entire space available, set the USE_SINGLE_MONITOR global environment variable before you start Virtuoso from the command line.
