2021-09-14 10:22:57 Roland Lutz description I like GEDA tools in general and GSCHEM in particular, however, one annoying problem is that I cannot invoke it on a command line and specify the window geometry and placement that I would like. It would be fantastic if I could invoke GSCHEM with the following command line. So many other linux tools support these command line switches: > gschem -geometry 700x600+0+0 A feature like this is especially useful when a multiple monitor setup is used. One monitor can be devoted to Gschem and the other monitor can be devoted to various terminal windows. I hope this suggestion will be useful for others as well. Thank you.
