Auto-Sizing Text Windows

[NightOwl]

Also, be aware that the initial x and y coordinate of 0 are just dummy values. To use this script effectively, you should either specify explicit x and y coordinates for the window or create an algorithm to determine them, if you need to display the window in a different location depending on the circumstances.

In a nutshell, the window is defaulted to the top left corner of the screen as (like you said) the x and y position is set to 0,0. Either you can replace the x/y values of 0,0 with values as noted here...
From

Code:

super(0, 0, w, h)

to

Code:

super(20, 40, w, h)

Or better yet, replace them with variables like x and y, and edit the initialization method to match:

Code:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #     x     : x-position
  #     y     : y-position
  #     lines : lines
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize(x,y,lines)

and

Code:

super(x, y, w, h)
