Adjust where the output is on the screen initially.
The x and y specifications are in pixels measured from the top-left of the

+It also supports the standard X11 \-geometry option format, in which e.g.
++10-50 means "place 10 pixels from the left border and 50 pixels from the lower
+border" and "--20+-10" means "place 20 pixels beyond the right and 10 pixels
+beyond the top border".
If an external window is specified using the \-wid option, then the x and
y coordinates are relative to the top-left corner of the window rather
