Hi All;
As clever as EMC2 is I was wonder if it could start with Axis in full
Screen?
It is not a show stopper, just a convenience.

Thanks

That's unusable as links in article is death.
As I remember that include some software installing...
And a lot of people asked that already. So why that (wishlist) isn't
done already.
For someone with knowledge of programming it's should be piece of cake
to 'push that maximize button' or even beter to let's AXIS to save last
used position (and probably edit window size too) and on next start
(autostart?) to show AXIS as is last used.

Near all program's can do that. AXIS not...

The second part of 5th point is awesome!
I have just one question - does Axis automatically search for .axisrc
file or does it need to be specified somewhere?

And how about sharing at least some information?
Which version exactly - did You compile it or installed from buildbot package?
What exactly did You write in that .axisrc file?
How did You determine, that it was not working? Any error message or
something else?

Hello everybody,

My configuration:

- Ubuntu 10.04
- Emc2 version 2.5.0 pre2-72-g3c5d11f

I made a file .axisrc in /home

In this file I put: root_window.tk.call ("wm", "","."," geometry 1200x600")

Thank you for your help.

It may be handy to have this posted to the wiki if it isn't already
there. It may be hard to find, so adding appropriate keywords may help
Prof. Google. Just a thought.

interesting on 10.04lts, I had to use (as per wiki):

root_window.tk.call("wm","geometry",".","1280x1024")

in /home/lg/axisrc ....

#root_window.tk.call ("wm", "","."," geometry 1200x600") does not work

cheers
Lawrence
