HEIGHT
The vertical height of the window in the increments used by the application.
XPOSITION
YPOSITION
The horizontal and vertical coordinates of the upper-left corner of the window
frame, including any window border, title bar, or other ornamentation added by
the window manager. If these numbers start with a plus sign (+), then they are
relative to the upper-left corner of the screen; if they start with a minus sign (-),
then they are relative to the lower-right corner of the screen.
Therefore, the geometry shown in the earlier example, 77x34-79+39, is interpreted as
meaning that the window should be 77 units high and 34 units wide, and the upperleft
corner of the window should be 79 pixels left from the right side of the screen
and 39 pixels down from the top of the screen.
You can use both + and - on the same geometry positioning expression.
The first sign indicates the starting corner (upper-left or lowerright),
and the second is used to indicate the sign of the value. Therefore,
a geometry specification of 200x200+-100+50 specifies a window
size of 200 ?— 200, and a window starting off the screen 100 pixels to
the left of the screen??™s left edge and 50 pixels from the top.
