I know there is command "window" that can be used to adjust the window size.

But how can I set the default window size ?

Thanks.

    Look at the window HELP command:
    http://www.iris.edu/software/sac/commands/window.html.

    Note that changes were made in version 101.5.

    • Thanks for your reply, Arthur.

      My apology that I didn't make myself clear in my last email.

      My purpose is to change the default window size which is window 1 and then
      save it, so

      when I exit sac and come back in, I will have the window size I want.

      Thanks.

        Hi Yun,

        You can do it as follow:
        1) In your directory (e.g macros in the sac distribution) generate a
        file sac.ini ( for example)
        here add the follow line:
        window 1 x 0.05 0.95 y 0.15 0.95
        save and close file.

        2) Create an alias in your system:
        alias sac='/Users/milton/Soft/sac/bin/sac
        /Users/milton/Soft/sac/macros/sac.ini'
        Obviously change the dir tree according your path and then sourcing it.

        Ypu can include other commands in the sac.ini file for initialization
        your sac session
        qdp off etc

        OK, HTH,

        Milton
