Hi !

I have been using athena under LinuX with great satisfaction for a long time now. Recently, I changed my old portable computer for a brand new one: my Xwindow screen size went from 1024x768 to 1920x1250, but all windows opened by athena for data visualisation have the same old size of around 870x670: I cannot take advantage of my new screen size!

As I compiled athena from scratch (horae-021), I wonder if I should not modify athena files set_properties.pl and draw_properties.pl that seems to me to be defining window size.

If anyone knows for sure how to do it, please let me know!

Xavier, Athena currently does not handle low or very high resolution very well. Much of the code that determines the sizes of things is hardwired in. This is not the first time I have heard this complaint -- a while back there was a problem with a computer set at 800x600 and athena failed to use that screen appropriately as well. On the list of things to do (but not a huge priority at the moment) is to rework all the geometry management in the code so that font sizes can be made bigger or smaller and the window will resize appropriately. Of course, if you want to poke around at the geometry management, I would be happy to incorporate any changes you make into the code.
