I want to add a graph and a worksheet window to the layout page
with the DoToolbox-command. How can I define automatically
size and position of the windows in the layout page without clicking and dragging ?

You have to size and position manually. Once the window has been added to the layout page, it is now an object that you can manipulate. Alt+double-click on the image and you'll see the object name from the Label Control dialog. In the Script Window, type the objectname.= and press Return and you'll see a list of all object properties. For example, type:

BMP.=

Hi Alex,

The draw.last$ property gets the name of the last object that was created, so you don't have to open the Label Control to find the object name. One way to use this is to define a macro something like this...

def SetWin {
%O=draw.last$;
%O.left=%1; // position of left edge in pixels
%O.top=%2; // position of top edge in pixels
%O.width=%3; // height in pixels
%O.height=%4; // width in pixels
};

and use it like this...

#First, add graph to layout page
dotool -pg Graph1;
-- click on layout page to create the graph image --

#Next (immediately) enter following command
SetWin 0 0 150 150;

This will position the graph window in the upper left hand corner of the layout page and set its width and height to 150 pixels. As Laurie said you can use

%O.=

(after you run the SetWin macro) to find other properties you might want to control.
