set_window_extents ( : : Row, Column, Width, Height : )

Modifying position and size of a window.

set_window_extents positions the upper left corner of the current output window at (Row,Column) and changes the size of the window to Width and Height at the same time.


Attention

If you modify the size of a window, an adaptation of the displayed date to the new format is not processed automatically. This has to be done by the program in performing another output of these data.
