Hi all,
I have searched but I can not find any clue to launch rviz with a fixed frame size. For example, I want to set the visualization region to be 1080*900 pixel? How to do that?
I am using Fuerte on Ubuntu*64.
rviz should remember the last window size/position it was launched with (at least it did when I just tested this). Another option is the use of the wmctrl Unix/Linux command line tool. With this, you can easily alter window sizes and positions of all windows in your X Window manager.
Using
wmctrl -l
you can get a list of all managed windows. Using one of the names retrieved (it helps when it is unique ;) ) you can then specifiy a window position and size for example like this:
wmctrl -r 'ocs_default.rviz - RViz' -e '0,1920,0,1080,900'
Indirectly, by figuring out how much "overhead" the borders are (in pixels) and using that information to resize using wmctrl accordingly. I know it´s not the perfect solution, but a relatively easy one that doesn´t require changing rviz code and recompiling.
