Set the padding around views in pixels.
Set the padding around views in pixels. (Default: 6)
*-outer-padding* _pixels_
Set the padding around the edge of the layout area in pixels.
(Default: 6)
*-main-location* [*top*|*bottom*|*left*|*right*]
Set the default location of the main area in the layout.
Set the initial location of the main area in the layout.
(Default: *left*)
*-main-count* _count_
Set the default number of views in the main area of the layout.
Set the initial number of views in the main area of the
layout. (Default: 1)
*-main-factor* _ratio_
Set the default ratio of main area to total layout area.
Set the initial ratio of main area to total layout area. (Default: 0.6)
# VALUES
These values may be modified while rivertile is running with the help of
*riverctl*(1).
_main_location_ (string: top, bottom, left, or right)

# EXAMPLES
Start *rivertile* with 4 pixels outer padding and 2 main views:
rivertile -outer-padding 4 -main-count 2
