Choosing the Default Tiling Scheme
Choosing the Default Tiling Scheme
As the OEM creates display windows of a given type, it attempts to display them in a
nonoverlapping fashion to make it easier to view OEM data. The Tiling option
determines whether the OEM displays the windows side by side or top to bottom.
The Tiling option also controls how the OEM behaves when responding to tile requests
from framework adapters.
To specify the default tiling scheme:
1. Open the OEM Options dialog box and click the General tab. (See Opening the
OEM General Options Dialog Box on page 3-2.)
2. Set the Tiling option:
•
To tile windows from top to bottom first and then left to right, in the Tiling
panel, click the Top Down option. When a new window is created, the OEM
tries to place it below an existing window of the same type. If no space is
available, the OEM tries to place the window beside an existing window of the
same type.
•
To tile windows first from left to right and then top to bottom, in the Tiling
panel, click the Side By Side option. When a new window is created, the OEM
tries to place it beside an existing window of the same type. If no space is
available, the OEM tries to place the window below an existing window of the
same type.
3. Click OK or Apply to save the change, or click Cancel to discard it.
