XMonad.Layout.HintedGrid

Contents

Description

A not so simple layout that attempts to put all windows in a square grid while obeying their size hints.

Synopsis

- data Grid a
  - = Grid Bool
  - | GridRatio Double Bool
- arrange :: Double -> Bool -> Rectangle -> [Window] -> X [(Window, Rectangle)]
- defaultRatio :: Double

# Usage

You can use this module with the following in your `~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs`:

     import XMonad.Layout.HintedGrid

Then edit your `layoutHook` by adding the `Grid` layout:

     myLayout = Grid False ||| Full ||| etc..
     main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayout }

You can also specify an aspect ratio for Grid to strive for with the GridRatio constructor:

     myLayout = GridRatio (4/3) False ||| etc.

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see XMonad.Doc.Extending.

data Grid a

Automatic mirroring of hinted layouts doesn't work very well, so this `Grid` comes with built-in mirroring. `Grid False` is the normal layout, `Grid True` is the mirrored variant (rotated by 90 degrees).

arrange :: Double -> Bool -> Rectangle -> [Window] -> X [(Window, Rectangle)]

The internal function for computing the grid layout.
