'''[[Tiling window manager]]''' Here is some interesting news. Been searching for this for a long time.  
'''[[Tiling window manager]]''' 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. This is how NsCDE arranges windows vertically and horizontally.
 
Tiling places windows on the screen into mutually non-overlapping frames, as opposed to the more common approach of coordinate-based stacking of overlapping objects (windows) that tries to fully emulate the desktop metaphor.

## NsCDE does tiling nicely both 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
FvwmRearrange -tile $0 -r -mn 2 -maximize 0 0 $[wa.width]p $[wa.height]p #horizontal

Tiling window manager 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. This is how NsCDE arranges windows 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

This code resets the windows to their initial position and size: 

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