Entering Coordinates
The absolute position of the virtual window can be changed by
choosing Position in the Position menu of the menu line.
This causes a dialog box to pop up prompting the user for the
absolute (x,y) coordinates.
This is followed by the upper left corner of the virtual window and the upper
left corner of the display window being moved to these absolute coordinates.
There are several ways to find out about the values of absolute coordinates.
- Turn on the
ruler.
- Invoke Misc->Information->Statistics to get
information about the maximum size of the virtual window
(Maximum x coordinate
and Maximum y coordinate).
- Invoke Misc->Information->Node Attributes
to find out about the absolute positions of nodes (see
layout attributes).
- The absolute coordinates of the mouse pointer position
are shown in the status line.
