DOpus screen

back to section start!
  The  dopus screen  command allows you to find out the dimensions of the Opus
display, this can be useful for positioning of listers, viewers, etc, by
using a simple algorithm to provide a position that will fit on screen.
  It also returns the current Opus screen name, and will set RC to 5 if
Opus happens to be iconified at the time.
  The default size of your listers is also returned.

  Example:

 /* DopusScreen.dopus5 */ 
options results
lf = '0a'x
address 'DOPUS.1'
dopus front
dopus screen
if rc = 5 then do
  address command 'RequestChoice "Opus is iconified" "OK"'
  exit
  end
dimensions = result
text = 'The Opus screen name is: 'word(dimensions,1)
dopus request '"'text'" OK'
text = 'The Opus screen is 'word(dimensions,2)' pixels wide'||lf||,
       'and 'word(dimensions,3)' high.'
dopus request '"'text'" OK'
text = 'The titlebar is 'word(dimensions,5)' pixels high, and'||lf||,
       'it is a 'word(dimensions,4)' bit screen.'
dopus request '"'text'" OK'
x = trunc(word(dimensions,2) / 2) - trunc(word(dimensions,6) / 2)
y = trunc((word(dimensions,3) - word(dimensions,5)) / 2) - trunc(word(dimensions,7) / 2)
position = x'/'y'/'word(dimensions,6)'/'word(dimensions,7)
lister new position
handle = result
text = 'This lister is in the screen centre,',
        ||lf||'taking the titlebar height into account',
        ||lf||'and is the default size.'
lister request handle '"'text'" OK'
lister close handle
dopus back
exit
