@b<This window will tell you how to specify the placement of ASSIST windows on the screen>.

Several important sets of resources controls the placement of ASSIST
windows on the screen.  These are shown below in gory detail:

The first group of resources assigns the various window types (graphs,
parameter editors, help windows, etc.) to different @b<stacks>.  The
number of stacks used and the assignment of window types to stacks is
arbitrary:

! Define which windows go into which stacks @break
ASSIST*nStacks:				5 @break
ASSIST*Control*stack:			1 @break
ASSIST*RootGrapher*stack:		1 @break
ASSIST*Grapher*stack:			2 @break
ASSIST*PackageLoader*stack:		2 @break
ASSIST*ParamEditor*stack:			3 @break
ASSIST*HelpPE*stack:	 		4 @break
ASSIST*SBrowser*stack:			5 @break
ASSIST*QA-Node*stack:		 	5 @break
ASSIST*stack:		 			5 @break

The second group of resources specifies the initial
placement (in screen pixels) on the screen of these stacks:
@break
! initial positions of the stacks @break
ASSIST*stack1.x:	 		0 @break
ASSIST*stack1.y:	 		100 @break
ASSIST*stack2.x:	 		60 @break
ASSIST*stack2.y:	 		160 @break
ASSIST*stack3.x:	 		400 @break
ASSIST*stack3.y:	 		100 @break
ASSIST*stack4.x:			0 @break
ASSIST*stack4.y:	 		520 @break
ASSIST*stack5.x:	 		400 @break
ASSIST*stack5.y:	 		325 @break

The third group specified the horizantal and vertical offset for each
succeeding window in the stack.  Thus, stacks 2, 4, and 5 (graphs,
help, and tutorials) are all placed directly on top of one another in
a stack, while parameter editors are offset.
@break
! displacement in pixels for each new window @break
ASSIST*StackObj.horizDistance:		10 @break
ASSIST*StackObj.vertDistance:		10 @break
ASSIST*stack1.horizDistance:		20 @break
ASSIST*stack1.vertDistance:		20 @break
ASSIST*stack2.horizDistance:		0 @break
ASSIST*stack2.vertDistance:		0 @break
ASSIST*stack3.horizDistance:		10 @break
ASSIST*stack3.vertDistance:		10 @break
ASSIST*stack4.horizDistance:		0 @break
ASSIST*stack4.vertDistance:		0 @break
ASSIST*stack5.horizDistance:		0 @break
ASSIST*stack5.vertDistance:		0 @break

By means of these three sets of resources, users can tailor the
placement of ASSIST windows to meet their specific needs.
