Resize the application window in interactive jobs like matlab

Hello Support Community,

I’m reaching out to check if there is a way to resize the application window (e.g., MATLAB) when running through Open OnDemand without a window manager.

Ideally, we’d like the ability to run the application in full-screen mode or allow users to expand the window to a larger size. Could you please advise if this is possible and how it can be achieved? Attaching the screenshot below.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Appreciate any help .

Could you share your form.yml and script.sh for the app in question.

Sorry for the delay , Please find the attached files .

Can you also please share your template/script.sh.erb and what OS you’re on. IIRC, there’s some issue with your windowing system. Like XFCE for example isn’t starting up correctly, and therefore not giving you a background, toolbar, or menu’s for the app.

I believe (I think) these are the changes I had to make for our MATLAB application for the same, to support EL9 and how XFCE binaries changed (it doesn’t background itself anymore)

Hello ,

We are using RHEL8 and for MATLAB this time I tried it without xfce , can we still resize the window without xfce ?

Thank you for your support

I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure you need a window manager to do that.
