Summary Tables of Attribute Values for Origin and Size

The following tables summarize the attribute values that define a window's origin and size. Values shown in uppercase are keywords (words with special significance to IPF). Values shown in lowercase italics are to be substituted with your own values. Values are stacked when more than one value can be used with the attribute.
