Description

A spiral tiling layout.

Synopsis

- spiral :: Rational -> SpiralWithDir a
- spiralWithDir :: Direction -> Rotation -> Rational -> SpiralWithDir a
- data Rotation
  - = CW
  - | CCW
- data Direction

# Usage

You can use this module with the following in your `~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs`:

    import XMonad.Layout.Spiral

Then edit your `layoutHook` by adding the Spiral layout:

    myLayout =  spiral (6/7) ||| etc..
    main = xmonad def { layoutHook = myLayout }

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:

spiral :: Rational -> SpiralWithDir a

A spiral layout. The parameter controls the size ratio between successive windows in the spiral. Sensible values range from 0 up to the aspect ratio of your monitor (often 4/3).

By default, the spiral is counterclockwise, starting to the east. See also `spiralWithDir`.

spiralWithDir :: Direction -> Rotation -> Rational -> SpiralWithDir a

Create a spiral layout, specifying the starting cardinal direction, the spiral direction (clockwise or counterclockwise), and the size ratio.
