Customizing Session Workspace, Session Gravity, and Window Sizes

The SAS System uses the following resources to determine the size of the session workspace, the gravity of the workspace, and the size of the windows. The default values for these resources are listed in SAS Resources.

SAS.awsResizePolicy: grow|fixed
controls the policy for resizing AWS windows as interior windows are added and removed. Possible values include the following:
grow the AWS window will attempt to grow any time an interior window is grown or moved, in order to show all interior windows, but it will not shrink to remove dead areas.
fixed the AWS window will attempt to size itself to the size of the first interior window and will not attempt any further size changes.

SAS.maxWindowHeight: units
specifies the number of units for the maximum height of a window. The unit is specified by the SAS.windowUnitType resource.

SAS.maxWindowWidth: units
specifies the number of units for the maximum width of a window. The unit is specified by the SAS.windowUnitType resource.

SAS.noAWS: True|False
controls whether each of your application's windows appears in its own native window rather than in an Application Work Space (AWS). The default is False, which confines all windows displayed by an application to a single AWS window.

SAS.scrollBarSize: pixels
specifies the default size of the scroll bar in pixels.

SAS.sessionGravity: value
controls the region of the screen where the SAS System will attempt to place its windows. This resource may be ignored by some window manager configurations. Possible values include the following:
CenterGravity
EastGravity
WestGravity
SouthGravity
NorthGravity
SouthEastGravity
NorthEastGravity
SouthWestGravity
NorthWestGravity

SAS.sessionGravityXOffset: offset
specifies an x offset to be added when the SAS System attempts to place a window in the gravity region.

SAS.sessionGravityYOffset: offset
specifies a y offset to be added when the SAS System attempts to place a window in the gravity region.

SAS.windowHeight: units
specifies the number of units for the default height of a window. The unit is specified by the SAS.windowUnitType resource.

SAS.windowUnitType: character|pixel|percentage
specifies the unit type for SAS.windowWidth, SAS.windowHeight, SAS.maxWindowWidth, and SAS.maxWindowHeight. Possible values include the following:

character
units specify the number of rows and columns.

pixel
units specify the number of pixels.

percentage
units specify the percentage of the screen.

SAS.windowWidth: units
specifies the number of units for the default width of a window. The unit is specified by the SAS.windowUnitType resource.
