XMonad.Layout.GridVariants

Contents

Description

Two layouts: one is a variant of the Grid layout that allows the desired aspect ratio of windows to be specified. The other is like Tall but places a grid with fixed number of rows and columns in the master area and uses an aspect-ratio-specified layout for the slaves.

Synopsis

Usage

This module can be used as follows:

 import XMonad.Layout.GridVariants

Then add something like this to your layouts:

 Grid (16/10)

for a 16:10 aspect ratio grid, or

 SplitGrid L 2 3 (2/3) (16/10) (5/100)

for a layout with a 2x3 master grid that uses 2/3 of the screen, and a 16:10 aspect ratio slave grid to its right. The last parameter is again the percentage by which the split between master and slave area changes in response to Expand/Shrink messages.

To be able to change the geometry of the master grid, add something like this to your keybindings:

 ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_equal), sendMessage $ IncMasterCols 1),
 ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_minus), sendMessage $ IncMasterCols (-1)),
 ((modm .|. controlMask,  xK_equal), sendMessage $ IncMasterRows 1),
 ((modm .|. controlMask,  xK_minus), sendMessage $ IncMasterRows (-1))

data ChangeMasterGeom

The geometry change message understood by the master grid

Constructors

IncMasterRows !Int

Change the number of master rows

IncMasterCols !Int

Change the number of master columns

data Grid a

Grid layout. The parameter is the desired x:y aspect ratio of windows

Constructors

Grid !Rational 

Instances

LayoutClass Grid a 
Read (Grid a) 
Show (Grid a) 

data TallGrid a

TallGrid layout. Parameters are

  • number of master rows - number of master columns - portion of screen used for master grid - x:y aspect ratio of slave windows - increment for resize messages

This exists mostly because it was introduced in an earlier version. It's a fairly thin wrapper around SplitGrid L.

Instances

LayoutClass TallGrid a 
Read (TallGrid a) 
Show (TallGrid a) 

data SplitGrid a

SplitGrid layout. Parameters are

  • side where the master is - number of master rows - number of master columns - portion of screen used for master grid - x:y aspect ratio of slave windows - increment for resize messages

Instances

LayoutClass SplitGrid a 
Read (SplitGrid a) 
Show (SplitGrid a) 

data Orientation

Type to specify the side of the screen that holds the master area of a SplitGrid.
