PowerShell Gridify

'Gridify' module provides a cmdlet 'Set-GridLayout' that can resize and arrange applications in an automatic grid layout with predefined formats using the ProcessID's of the target applications passed as a parameter(-ProcessID) value.

Cmdlet can automatically calculate the your screen resolution and set Applications in a neat grid layout in predefined/custom layout

Available predifined layout formats are

• Mosaic : This is the default layout of the cmdlet.

  Set-GridLayout -ProcessID $ProcessID

  

• Vertical : Vertical Layout sets all application vertically side by side in a single row to fit the screen resolution

  Set-GridLayout -ProcessID $ProcessID -Layout Vertical

  

• Horizontal : Horizontal Layout sets all application horizontally one over another in a single column to fit the screen resolution

  Set-GridLayout -ProcessID $ProcessID -Layout Horizontal

  

and a customizable grid layout for special requirements

• Custom : A custom format can be used to set the applications in a grid-layout on the screen, by passing a custom string as a value to the parameter(-Custom).

  

  To set applications is custom grid-layout utilize the 'Custom' parameter and pass the custom layout as comma-separated string of * (Asterisk)

  Where "*" represent an application and "," separates a row in the grid-layout

  So, with custom format like in the below example the grid layout would be like

      Row1 has 3 applications
      Row2 has 2 applications
      Row3 has 1 applications
      Row4 has 4 applications
  

  Set-GridLayout -ProcessID $ProcessID -Custom '***,**,*,****'
