NAME
    FvwmPiazza - Fvwm module for tiling windows

VERSION
    version 0.3001

SYNOPSIS
    FvwmPiazza

DESCRIPTION
    This Fvwm module tiles windows in different ways; each "way" is called a
    layout. Layouts are applied on a per-desktop basis.

  Layouts
    Layouts can be set in two ways: as a default layout, or on the fly.

    A default layout is set in the config with a "LayoutN" directive.

        *FvwmPiazza: Layout0 Full

    The above means that the default layout for desktop 0 is "Full".

    To set a layout on the fly, you must send a message to the module; this
    is most easily done by setting a hotkey command for it.

        Key f               A       CM      SendToModule FvwmPiazza Full

    This will set the layout for the current desktop to "Full" when
    Alt-Ctrl-f is hit.

   Layout Types
    All layouts have a "max_win" argument, which is the maximum number of
    windows visible in that layout. For different types of layouts, this set
    of windows is arranged differently.

    Columns
            Columns --max_win I<cols>

        Windows are arranged in *cols* columns.

            Columns --max_win I<cols> --ratios I<ratios>

        If a *ratios* argument is given, this defines the ratios of the
        columns. For example, "Columns --cols 2 --ratios 60:40" will give
        the first column 60% of the space, and the second column 40% of the
        space.

    Full
        All windows are fullscreen.

    Grid
            Grid --max_win I<grids> --cols I<cols>

        Windows are arranged in a grid of *grids* squares, with *cols*
        columns. Thus to get a 2x2 grid, the command is "Grid --max_win 4
        --cols 2".

    Rows
            Rows --max_win I<rows>

        Windows are arranged in *rows* rows.

            Rows --max_win I<rows> --ratios I<ratios>

        If a *ratios* argument is given, this defines the ratios of the
        rows. For example, "Rows --max_win 2 --ratios 60:40" will give the
        first row 60% of the space, and the second row 40% of the space.

    Tall
            Tall --max_win I<groups>

        Windows are arranged such that the first window is in one column,
        and the rest of the windows are in (*groups* - 1) rows in the second
        column.

            Tall --max_win I<groups> --variation Right

        If the argument "--variation Right" is given ("Tall --max_win 3
        --variation Right" for example) then the arrangement is a
        mirror-image, with the single-window column being on the right
        instead of the left.

    Wide
            Wide --max_win I<groups>

        Windows are arranged such that the first window is in one row, and
        the rest of the windows are in (*groups* - 1) columns in the second
        row.
