Edith Manual       Window Placement       19th May 1994


The parameters  in  the WINDOW  PLACEMENT  dialog  tell
Edith how and where to  place new windows and icons  on
the desktop.

For WINDOWS the following options are provided:

   CENTER         the window is always put in the midle
                  of the screen.
   
   MOUSE          the window is put as such a  position
                  that the mouse pointer is inside  the
                  window.

   MANUAL         every time  a window  is  opened, the
                  user can  place  it anywhere  on  the
                  screen by moving a rubber box contour
                  of the window.
            
                  ** the user  can  immediately  cancel
                     the window by  pressing the  RIGHT
                     MOUSE   BUTTON    during    manual
                     placement.

   INTELLIGENT    The window  is aligned  to the  other
                  windows at  a  place  on  the  screen
                  where it covers  the least amount  of
                  space in other EDITH windows.


ICONS are  always placed  automatically starting  in  a
corner of  the  screen, going  either  in  vertical  or
horizontal  direction.    Both  the   corner  and   the
direction can be set in this dialog.
