Entering Coordinates

The absolute position of the virtual window can be changed by choosing Position in the Position menu of the menu line. This causes a dialog box to pop up prompting the user for the absolute (x,y) coordinates.

  This is followed by the upper left corner of the virtual window and the upper left corner of the display window being moved to these absolute coordinates.

There are several ways to find out about the values of absolute coordinates.

• Turn on the ruler.  
• Invoke Misc->Information->Statistics to get information about the maximum size of the virtual window (Maximum x coordinate and Maximum y coordinate).  
• Invoke Misc->Information->Node Attributes to find out about the absolute positions of nodes (see layout attributes).  
• The absolute coordinates of the mouse pointer position are shown in the status line.
