$frame-depth(5)

NAME

$frame-depth - Number of lines on the current frame canvas
$frame-width - Number of columns on the current frame canvas

SYNOPSIS

$frame-depth integer

3 <= integer <= 400

$frame-width integer

8 <= integer <= 400

DESCRIPTION

These variables allow the viewable size of the current frame canvas to be determined.

$frame-depth identifies depth of the current frame given as the number of character lines. This is the whole frame width, not just what is currently visible. The value returned is in the range 3 - n, n is system dependent but no greater than 400.

$frame-width identifies the width of the current frame as the number of character columns. The value returned is in the range 8 - n, n is system dependent but no greater than 400.

NOTES

The name of these variables changed from $screen-depth and $screen-width due to the support for multiple frames introduced in April 2002.
