Hello Matan

Can you be a little more specific? Do you mean the pterm that you run your application from or
do you mean a terminal widget that is inside your application?

Thanks
Rodney

Hey David

You can use the “stty row=#rows,#columns” to resize your terminal from your
applcation. This should resize the pterm.

Hey David

Another way that you could do it would be to use escape sequences in a printf

In ANSI mode, it’s

ESC [ 8 ; ; t

i.e.

printf( “\33[8;%d;%dt”, rows, columns );

In QNX mode, replace the ‘[’ with a ‘/’.

This should also work

Thanks
