Sets the position and size of the viewer window. This parameter affects the first call to an .ewriter file only. Subsequent calls (if the .ewriter file has been opened already) will not change the window position at runtime.

windows Windows

Pixel values are absolute physical pixels. On high resolution displays, you must take the system DPI into account, because eViewer.exe is DPI-aware. The stayontop option applies to the Windows version only.

macOS MacOS

Pixel values are logical pixels that map to the default size of a non-retina display. The values may be increased by MacOS depending on the display type and user settings. The stayontop option is ignored, there is no equivalent for this on MacOS.

 

Values

Example

left,top

defpos=50,50

Creates the eViewer window at 50/50 pixels of the screen.

Window size is initialized from the default position specified in the eWriter file and remembered after the user has viewed this file once.

left,top,width,height

defpos=50,50,800,400

Creates the eViewer window at 50/50 pixels of the screen, with a width of 800 and a height of 400 pixels.

left,top,width,height,stayontop

 

 

Note:
stayontop is only valid on Windows

defpos=50,50,800,400,stayontop

Creates a stay-on-top eViewer window at 50/50 pixels of the screen, with a width of 800 and a height of 400 pixels.

defpos=50,50,stayontop

Creates a stay-on-top eViewer window at 50/50 pixels of the screen, default width and height.

defpos=stayontop

Creates a stay-on-top eViewer window, default size and position.

kioskmode

defpos=kioskmode

Switches the eViewer app into full-screen kiosk mode (window size and position does not apply).

Note:
In kiosk mode, the user has no visual controls to modify the window dimensions. Kiosk mode can only be exited by pressing ALT+F4 (Windows) or CMD+Q (MacOS).

 

Note:
All examples are the argument. They must always be preceded by the eViewer app or the eWriter EXE file name if you are using that format on Windows. When using standalone Windows EXE files the file is both the viewer and the target and calls itself.

URL examples eViewer app:
