1.7.4 Redisplay and Screen Management

These variables control a number of the characteristics of Hemlock bitmap screen management.

Hemlock Variable: Bell Style (initial value :border-flash) ¶

Hemlock Variable: Beep Border Width (initial value 20) ¶

Bell Style determines what beeps do in Hemlock. Acceptable values are :border-flash, :feep, :border-flash-and-feep, :flash, :flash-and-feep, and nil (do nothing).

Beep Border Width is the width in pixels of the border flashed by border flash beep styles.

Hemlock Variable: Reverse Video (initial value nil) ¶

If this variable is true, then Hemlock paints white on black in window bodies, black on white in modelines.

Hemlock Variable: Thumb Bar Meter (initial value t) ¶

If this variable is true, then windows will be created to be displayed with a ruler in the bottom border of the window.

Hemlock Variable: Set Window Autoraise (initial value :echo-only) ¶

When true, changing the current window will automatically raise the new current window. If the value is :echo-only, then only the echo area window will be raised automatically upon becoming current.

Hemlock Variable: Default Initial Window Width (initial value 80) ¶

Hemlock Variable: Default Initial Window Height (initial value 24) ¶

Hemlock Variable: Default Initial Window X ¶

Hemlock Variable: Default Initial Window Y ¶

Hemlock Variable: Default Window Height (initial value 24) ¶

Hemlock Variable: Default Window Width (initial value 80) ¶

Hemlock uses the variables with "Initial" in their names when it first starts up to make its first window. The width and height are specified in character units, but the x and y are specified in pixels. The other variables determine the width and height for interactive window creation, such as making a window with New Window.

Hemlock Variable: Cursor Bitmap File (initial value "library:hemlock.cursor") ¶

This variable determines where the mouse cursor bitmap is read from when Hemlock starts up. The mask is found by merging this name with ".mask". This has to be a full pathname for the C routine.

Hemlock Variable: Default Font ¶

This variable holds the string name of the font to be used for normal text display: buffer text, modelines, random typeout, etc. The font is loaded at initialization time, so this variable must be set before entering Hemlock. When nil, the display type is used to choose a font.
