This seems like to answer I found, except the terms are different.
If I understand correctly, the following happen when gravity is
CenterGravity:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
+----------+ +--------+
| some | | some | +------+
| contents | -> resize -> |contents| -> resize -> |ontent|
| here | | here | +------+
+----------+ +--------+
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Am I correct?
But I can't still understand why Emacs needs this. Emacs handles frame
resizing, so setting gravity seems useless.
