Splitting a window into any number of parts

Splitting a window into any number of parts

[Nordlöw]

Is there a way to split an Emacs window into an arbitrarily number of
equally sized parts, either horizontally or vertically?

Either:

1) Call C-x 2 or C-x 3 n times and then do M-x balance-windows

or

2) Look at the quick hack I wrote a couple of weeks ago, which is
archived here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help/56928 (it
doesn't do anything clever about rounding errors for widths though:
caveat emptor).

You can `balance-windows': C-+

If you have one window only, split any which way you like and do
`balance-windows-area'.

I think you have to split the window a number of times.

Making the equal size after that is quite tricky, but there are
functions for that in winsize.el which is part of nXhtml.

In addition to the other posts, you can resize a window by dragging the
status bar with the left mouse button.
