Tiling window manager Fvwm performs tiling using the FvwmRearrange command. It arranges windows on the screen into non-overlapping frames, unlike the more common method of coordinate-based stacking of overlapping windows that aims to fully replicate the desktop metaphor.

## NsCDE does tiling vertically and horizontally.

FvwmRearrange -tile $0 -r -mn 3 -maximize 0 0 $[wa.width]p $[wa.height]p #vertical
FvwmRearrange -tile $0 -r -mn 2 -maximize 0 0 $[wa.width]p $[wa.height]p #horizontal

Here is how it restores all windows to their original position and size:

DestroyFunc DeTile
AddToFunc DeTile
+ I All (CurrentPage, !Iconic, CirculateHit, !Sticky) Maximize Off
+ I WindowId $0 WarpToWindow 50 50
