Re: [MacRuby-devel] Ruby scripting of OSX Leopard - pointer needed
One way of achieving this is by using rb-appscript, which you can install as a rubygem: http://appscript.sourceforge.net/rb-appscript/index.html There's also the Scripting Bridge: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/RubyPythonCocoa/Ar... /apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005424-SW1 The rb-appscript version of your Applescript would look like this: require "rubygems" require "appscript" include Appscript res = (`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | grep Resolution`).split width,height = res.grep(/\d+/) window = app("System Events").processes[its.frontmost.eq(true)].windows[1] window.position.set([0, 22]) window.size.set([width, height]) -al
The ScriptingBridge approach is more involved, because the size and position accessors don't seem to resolve automatically... My Ruwin library is an example of how to do it though: http://github.com/lachie/ruwin http://github.com/lachie/ruwin/blob/20a23ac330f65b4930c1b26be2ce463e05a516c7... :lachie http://smartbomb.com.au http://www.flickr.com/photos/lachie/ On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 3:05 AM, Alan Skipp <al_skipp@fastmail.fm> wrote:

The rb-appscript version of your Applescript would look like this:
require "rubygems" require "appscript" include Appscript
res = (`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | grep Resolution`).split width,height = res.grep(/\d+/)
window = app("System Events").processes[its.frontmost.eq(true)].windows[1] window.position.set([0, 22]) window.size.set([width, height])

Two other notes: Ruwin uses Rubycocoa, not Macruby. It also uses NSScreen to get screen info rather than grepping system_profiler output On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 9:17 AM, Lachie <lachiec@gmail.com> wrote:
