# Extended Commands

WDW Console Command | Change Main Window Size

## Format

WDW option

## Description

The WDW command allows you to set the size of the main (Command) window. By default, the main PxPlus Command window is created 80 columns wide and 25 lines high. This command can be used to change the size of the window.

If no option parameter is supplied, the WDW command will change the size of the main window to match the size of the outer PxPlus dialogue frame.

The option parameter can also specify the columns wide and lines high desired; e.g. WDW 100x30.

If the option value of AUTO is used, the system will auto-adjust the main window to the size of the outer frame so that as the outer frame is resized, the main window size will be automatically adapted to fit. This will only be done if the user is sitting at Command mode and has no other windows open.

#### Note:
The AUTO option is not supported under WindX.

The option value of MANUAL is used to reset the automatic resizing.

If the option value of ZOOM is used, the system will attempt to adjust the font size to fill the primary window, instead of changing the number of lines and columns. The ZOOM logic will determine the font based on the largest font that will fit in the specified window size. The minimum font size is 6 pixels high and the maximum is 30 pixels high. If you only expand the width or height of a window, the font size may remain the same since both the width and height are used to calculate the font.

If ZOOM mode is enabled and a WDW AUTO command is issued, the automatic sizing logic will also change the font size, instead of changing lines and columns. To disable ZOOM mode, issue either a WDW ZOOM OFF or WDW NO ZOOM command.

(The WDW command was added in PxPlus v9.00.)
(The ZOOM option was added in PxPlus 2021.)

## Validation

The main window will never be made smaller than 30 columns and no wider than 250 columns. It also will never be made smaller than 5 lines high or higher than 250 lines.
