MWAPI - SIZEWIN

Draft MDC Standard

SIZEWIN specifies the overall size of the window (including the window frame, if any) expressed in the unit of measure defined by the unitspec component of the size value, if present, and by the window’s UNITS wattribute otherwise. If the underlying windowing platforms does not provide this size exactly, a best estimate is provided.

If an application attempts to assign, with a single M[UMPS] MERGE command, values for both the SIZE and SIZEWIN wattributes, it is not specified which of these wattributes determines the window size.

If the unit of measure is CHAR, the basis font is the font specified by the window’s FFACE, FSIZE and FSTYLE wattributes.

When an application assigns a value to the SIZEWIN wattribute of an existing window, if hsize or vsize is not specified then the horizontal or vertical size of the window, respectively, is not altered.
