Resizing frames and windows pixelwise

Resizing frames and windows pixelwise

[martin rudalics]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1039 bytes --]

I intend to install the attached patch in the next days.  Its main
purpose is to allow pixelwise resizing of frames and windows.  In order
to resize frames pixelwise use the option `frame-resize-pixelwise'.  In
order to resize windows pixelwise customize `window-resize-pixelwise'.

In addition, you can use dividers between windows which can be activated
by customizing the frame parameters `right-divider-width' and
`bottom-divider-width'.  The patch should also remove gaps between side
by side windows and the necessity of extending the fringe of the
rightmost window.  Finally, functions like `fit-window-to-buffer' and
`fit-frame-to-buffer' will use the size of displayed text to resize
windows and frames accurately.

I tested the changes on Windows XP and GNU/Linux Debian 7.0.  I did not
test them on OS X since I do not have access to such a machine.  Likely,
Emacs will crash or simply fail to compile on such systems.  I'd greatly
appreciate if someone could help me testing and fixing that.

Thanks for your attention, martin

Thanks for doing this, Martin.

Installed in revision 115301 on trunk.  I'll add the NEWS entries later.

Hmm, it looks like setting `width' and `height' in `initial-frame-alist'
now resizes the initial frame in terms of pixels and not characters? Is
that expected? Because my usual 80x81 characters frame is now much, much
smaller than I need it to be...

Thanks.

Could you try the patch I proposed for bug#16013 ?

Thanks, martin

Are the sizes correct ?

I sent a hopefully better one to that list.  Please try it.

As far as I can tell this new one seems to work just as well. Thanks.

This breaks the OS X build, as reported in
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=16018.

Unfortunately so.  Can you help fixing this ?

I removed code for fringe background extension on X11 at revno:
115343.  I could also make similar changes at least on W32, but I
think it would be better to do so after changing some (actually, most
of) members in `struct scroll_bar' from Lisp_Object to non-Lisp_Object
in order to leave at least one non-Lisp_Object member for the use of
ALLOCATE_PSEUDOVECTOR (currently, `fringe_extended_p' is the only
non-Lisp_Object member).  Does anyone having access to W32 systems
want to make such a change?  Also, I guess the `w32_widget_low/high'
members are unused.

Thanks.  I hope your change is not premature, though ...

I shall do that as soon as I sorted out the major bugs introduced by my
changes.  Do you have experienced additional problems?  Do you have any
ideas how to proceed with the OS X build?

Thanks, martin

I've done that now.

I think so too.  If nobody objects I'll remove them.

What about nsterm.m?

fringe_extended_p is just checked at one place, ns_set_vertical_scroll_bar.  It is trivial to remove.
