7 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .Sh DESCRIPTION
10 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo utility a simple graphical menu for XOrg. It read the items from
11 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .Ic stdin
12 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo and print the user selection to
13 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .Ic stdout
14 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo on exit.
15 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .Sh RESOURCES
17 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo Most of the appearance of the menu is defined through the \fBX
18 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo Resource Database\fR.
20 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo Application specific resources:
21 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .Bl -tag -width Ds
22 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.font
23 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The font name, only bitmap font are supported. By default is set to
24 c9a3bfaa 2018-05-21 omar.polo "fixed". If compiled with Xft(3) support this will be passed to xft.
25 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo .It MyMenu.layout
26 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo The layout of the menu. The possible values are "horizontal" and
27 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo "vertical", with the default being "horizontal". Every other value
28 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo than "horizontal" is treated like "vertical", but this is kinda an
29 36a15a9f 2018-05-19 omar.polo implementation detail and not something to be relied on, since in the
30 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo future other layout could be added as well.
31 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo .It Mymenu.prompt
32 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo A string that is rendered before the user input. Default to "$ ".

34 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The width of the menu. If a numeric value is given (e.g. 400) is
35 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo interpreted as pixel, if it ends with a percentage symbol `%'
36 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo (e.g. 40%) the relative percentage will be computed (relative to the
37 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo monitor width).
38 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.height
39 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The height of the menu. Like MyMenu.width if a numeric value is given
40 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo is interpreted as pixel, if it ends with a percentage symbol `%' the
41 8758854a 2018-05-20 omar.polo relative percentage will be computed (relative to the monitor height).
42 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.x
43 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The X coordinate of the topmost left corner of the window. Much like
44 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo MyMenu.height and MyMenu.width both a pixel dimension and percentage
45 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo could be supplied. In addition to it, the special value "middle" could
46 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo be used: in that case the window will be centered on the x axes.
47 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo .It MyMenu.y
48 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo The Y coordinate of the topmost left corner of the window. Like the X
49 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo coordinate, pixel dimension, percentage dimension and the special
50 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo value "middle" could be supplied.

90 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo If, instead of a numeric value, a not-valid number that terminates
91 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo with the % sign is supplied, then the default value for that field
92 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo will be treated as a percentage. Since this is a misuse of the
93 f5e234d6 2018-05-18 omar.polo resources this behavior isn't strictly considered a bug.
