TV::GUI:: Namespace
NOTE: The variables in this section have meaning (and in some cases, a value) only when you are using the TotalView GUI.
TV::GUI::chase_mouse
When this variable is set to true, TotalView displays dialog boxes at the location of the mouse cursor. If this is set to false, TotalView displays them centered in the upper third of the screen.
Permitted Values: true or false
Default: true
TV::GUI::display_bytes_kb_mb
When true, the Memory Debugger displays memory block sizes in megabytes. If set to false, it displays memory blocks sizes in kilobytes.
Permitted Values: true or false
Default: true
TV::GUI::display_font_dpi
Indicates the video monitor DPI (dots per inch) at which fonts are displayed.
Permitted Values: An integer
Default: 75
TV::GUI::enabled
When true, you invoked the CLI from the GUI or a startup script. Otherwise, this read-only value is false.
Permitted Values: true or false
Default: true if you are running the GUI even though you are seeing this in a CLI window; false if you are only running the CLI
TV::GUI::fixed_font
Indicates the specific font TotalView uses when displaying program information such as source code in the Process Window or data in the Variable Window. This variable contains the value set when you select a Code and Data Fontentry in the Fonts Page of the File > Preferences dialog box.
This is a read-only variable.
Permitted Values: A string naming a fixed font residing on your system
Default: While this is platform specific, here is a representative value:-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
TV::GUI::fixed_font_family
Indicates the specific font TotalView uses when displaying program information such as source code in the Process Window or data in the Variable Window. This variable contains the value set when you select a Code and Data Font entry of the Fonts Page of the File > Preferences dialog box.
Permitted Values: A string representing an installed font family
Default: fixed
TV::GUI::fixed_font_size
Indicates the point size at which TotalView displays fixed font text. This is only useful if you have set a fixed font family because if you set a fixed font, the value entered contains the point size.
Font sizes are indicated using printer points.
Permitted Values: An integer
Default: 12
TV::GUI::font
Indicates the specific font used when TotalView writes information as the text in dialog boxes and in menu bars. This variable contains the information set when you select a Select by full name entry in the Fonts Page of the File > Preferences dialog box.
Permitted Values: A string naming a fixed font residing on your system. While this is platform specific, here is a representative value:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1
Default: helvetica
TV::GUI::force_window_positions
Setting this variable to true tells TotalView that it should use the version 4 window layout algorithm. This algorithm tells the window manager where to set the window. It also cascades windows from a base location for each window type. If this is not set, which is the default, newer window managers such as kwm or Enlightenment can use their smart placement modes.
Dialog boxes still chase the pointer as needed and are unaffected by this setting.
Permitted Values: true or false
Default: false
TV::GUI::frame_offset_x
Not implemented.
TV::GUI::frame_offset_y
Not implemented.
TV::GUI::geometry_call_tree
Specifies the position at which TotalView displays the Tools > Call Tree Window. This position is set using a list containing four values: the window’s x and y coordinates. These are followed by two more values specifying the window’s width and height.
If you set any of these values to 0 (zero), TotalView uses its default value. This means, however, you cannot place a window at x, y coordinates of 0, 0. Instead, you’ll need to place the window at 1, 1.
If you specify negative x and y coordinates, TotalView aligns the window to the opposite edge of the screen.
Permitted Values: A list containing four integers indicating the window’s x and y coordinates and the window’s width and height
Default: {0 0 0 0}
