RE: how to place the canvas in the extended display

Hi Wei,

There is nothing in ROOT allowing to select the display on which the canvas is displayed. You could try to move your canvas to the other screen this way: TCanvas *c = new TCanvas("c", "a canvas");
((TRootCanvas*)c->GetCanvasImp())->Move(gClient->GetDisplayWidth()+10,50);
Or (depending on your screen resolution):
((TRootCanvas*)c->GetCanvasImp())->Move(1500,50);

Cheers, Bertrand.

I have two terminals connect to the laptop running win7. One is the main display and the other one is the extended display. When running ROOT, the canvas always pop-up into the main display. Is it possible to configure it such that it automatically goes into the extended display? Thanks
