maxsize(3G)  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

maxsize − specifies the maximum size of a graphics window

SPECIFICATION

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

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

Pascal
procedure maxsize(x, y: longint);

DESCRIPTION

maxsize specifies the maximum size of a graphics window under the window manager.  Call it at the beginning of a graphics program before winopen.  maxsize takes effect when winopen is called. 

You can also call maxsize in conjunction with winconstraints to modify the enforced maximum size after the window has been created.  The default maximum size is 1024 pixels wide and 768 pixels high.  You can reshape the graphics window, but the window manager does not allow it to become larger than the specified maximum size. 

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