Hello!
As you may have noticed in the changelog, the aosd_cat has been rewritten
from scratch without any attempt to preserve either command line
parameters or their meaning.
It seems, that this begs for further explanation of the geometry options
and the position calculation:
-p: selects the point of the screen which is told to be the beginning of
the coordinates, i.e. the (0,0) point AND selects the point of the OSD
window to collocate with it, e.g. for -p 7, the bottom center point of the
OSD window is collocated with bottom center of the screen. You can see
this effect by running the following command in bash:
for i in `seq 0 8`; do aosd_cat -t 0 -d 10 -x 0 -y 0 -p $i <<< "Some
text"; done
-x, -y: specify the amount of pixels to shift the OSD window from (0,0)
point.
No sanity control is done on the values of -x/-y, therefore, it is
possible to get the window fly off-screen.
Please let me know if this explanation is enough to close this bug report
or if any additional information is needed.
