Node:Fixing window sizes, Next:Creating a new ECB-layout, Previous:Changing window sizes, Up:The ECB-layout
GNU Emacs 21 introduced a new feature which can fix the sizes of a
window displaying a certain buffer even after resizing the frame. This
new feature is driven by the new buffer-local variable
window-size-fixed.
ECB offers an option ecb-fix-window-size for fixing the sizes
of the special ECB-windows/buffers even after frame-resizing. The fix
type (valid values are nil, t, width and
height) can either be set on a layout-basis (means a different
value for each layout) or one value can be set for all layouts. In the
latter case there is an additional value auto which choose
autom. the senseful fix-type depending on the current layout-type: For
top-layouts the fix-type height and for all other layout-types
the fix-type width.
Probably the most senseful value is auto for all layouts
because it makes less sense to fix the height of the ecb-windows in a
left-, right- or leftright-layout. Same for fixing the width in a
top-layout.
Note: With current Emacs 21.2.X there seems to be no distinction
between width, height and t. Therefore this
option takes no effect (means all ecb-windows have always unfixed
sizes) if ecb-compile-window-height is not nil.
