When the user resizes a graphic window or a graphic view, the script of the resized object receives the following event.

resized the_object

the_object is a reference to the owner of the script, a graphic window or a graphic view.

The example below, if installed in the script of a plot view, will adapt the frame of the graphic window to the window sizes, then draw a rectangle inside the frame each time the user resize the window.

on resized w
set frame of w to {0, 0, (get width of w) - 15, (get height of w) - 37}
BeginFigure(w)
SetPenGray(0)
SetPenWidth(2)
RectPath({10, 10, (get width of w) - 35, (get height of w) - 57})
DrawPath(2)
EndFigure()
draw w
end resized
