How do I find out how many characters fit into a terminal window horizontally and how many lines the terminal window is high (i.e. how many rows and columns are visible - the width and height)? I am using c++ and Linux Mint 8 - Gnome.
View 8 RepliesI am trying to write commands that extracts the height and width of a video file via ffmpeg. I have the following working so far:
This gives the following answer in widthxheight format with an extra , 720x480,
How can I instead run 2 separate commands that give me height and width separately? I want some command to give me 720 and another command to give me 480 and I dont need the x or the ,
If you need to know this is what ffmpeg -i videofile.mov 2>&1 gives as output
Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate:
At least one output file must be specified
I use ioctl to get the cosole window size (the SSH window).
I use the following code:
When I debug on linux pc, it gives me the correct window width. But after I try it on router (this is my enventual place where my code shall run), ioctl always give me 0 width, that is, numberOfColumnsOfTerminalWindow == 0. but the returnValue is 0 which means that the function call succeeds.
After spending a few hours and having some little sleep, I am very puzzled and disturbed by the fact that new-new-02-5-1.png does not have the intended 818x788. It must have to do with cropping with nonzero offsets.

After running an update this morning, my terminal comes up in the install default size. Using the preferences dialog, I cannot find the control to set the default width. Has it been removed? I hope I'm looking in the wrong place, but I have a chilling feeling that it's been dropped or perhaps just accidentally commented out.

Also, how do they redraw the progress bar in the same line?
I use ioctl to get the console window size (the SSH window). I use the following code:

A couple of days I started using latex and have still one question about the table width. My table is too wide for a page. How can I adjust it so that it fits on the full width of a page? Can I use a command or do I have to specify each column widths by hand?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis has bugged me forever.....and I mean really bugged me. The 'pixel width' is too low, such that trying to get my mouse to line up just perfectly on the window edge to get the resize icon, is very difficult. After a bit of searching, I discovered Alt F8, which, for those that don't know, is a resize shortcut and works very well, however, I will still use the 'edge resizing' option quite a bit, and would like to widen the 'line' a few pixels. Is this possible in a user settings file, or is this hardcoded? I am learning to develop, so I wouldn't mind looking into this one as a beginning project. If that's the case, could someone point me to the appropriate package?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a server client prog in which server is my 'agent' and client is 'manager'. Following is the code for both agent and manager. I want my agent to send what manager is requesting. But it is not working the way I want. The parameters which manager is requesting, agent has to send to manager but in this program result for those parameters is shown on agent's own terminal window. Where as I want them on manager's window. Secondly, there result is not correct, means it is giving ' 0 K ram and 0 no of process....

Way back from Windows 3.x days to the latest 64bit Windows 7 (classic/standard theme)there is a way to make the window edge border wider then 1 pixel.I often use 3 to 5 pixel to make it easy to grab on hi-resolutions displays and hi DPI monitors.There doesn't seem to be an easy or obvious way to do this with the Gnome X-Windowing system?

i'm not sure for using the correct channel here but i hope someone out there can answer my little questions. 1st in older version i was able to change the settings of the terminal look as the font color, background color and so on. I was also able to define a default window size of a new terminal window. But since after upgrading to to the first release this year and a complete new installation of the current release Maverick i do not find this option anymore. Is there a way how to set up the terminal default window size?
View 9 Replies View RelatedNewly installed Debian system from years with Fedora. Ran system update and system got hosed, booted but no Gnome. Got Gnome back after MANY 'aptitude upgrade's. Xemacs disappeared! Along with other things I installed. Tried to install Xemacs but it is broken and will not install, complains about dpkg TOO current(?). So downloaded Xemacs for Xemacs.org and compiled source, installed.
Now when I start Xemacs is does not run in an X window but runs emacs in a terminal window. If I run it from a script, it complains about 'not in tty window'.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI find xcompmgr more than adequate for making a desktop look pretty modern, and I don't like the more extravagentCompiz gimmicks - but there is one thing that irritates when using xcompmgr which someone here might have worked round.
Rounded window borders don't draw and redraw properly when using the Terminal (gnome-terminal and the LXDE and Xfce ones) or system monitor and moving them from their default place. You get this little white botch at the corners. I'm not massively technical and I'm ambivalent about how much more I want to learn as I have plenty of creative outlets already, but I would like to solve this. Somehow xcompmgr is treating these programs as a different class? It's capable of drawing the window borders properly as it is just these two programs that get botched. Possibly this doesn't get noticed as maybe people usually use xcompmgr with openbox and LXDE and their square window borders. I did do a search but there was nothing matching what I saw.
