And, in addition to what Curt was saying, you can do far more complicated
settings for lining up the monitors. For example:
section: links
yosemite:
right = Neptunium
down = thorium(0,50)
Neptunium:
down = thorium(50,100)
left = yosemite
right(75,100) = uranium(0,25)
thorium:
up(0,50) = yosemite
up(50,100) = Neptunium
right(0,66) = uranium(35,100)
uranium:
left(0,20) = Neptunium(75,100)
left(35,100) = thorium(0,66)
end
All of those numbers are percentages. Thorium has a dual-monitor, Yosemite
is above the left monitor, Neptunium is above the right, and Uranium
occupies a space to the right of all of them, the top third matching with
the lower quarter of Neptunium, and the rest of the screen matching with
the top third of Thorium.
