Description

**What's your use case?**

I am opening let's say 3x Line Charts or 3x Scatter Plots at the same time using **open all**.

All windows are more less randomly moved or fully overlapping.

Is there a simple way to **auto arrange** the 3 plots to maximize the overall grid of all the plots?

Here is a screenshot demonstating my fiddeling around ...

Save window groups does not help as most of the time Orange does not remember them properly and I always have to fiddle around with the window positions afterwards?

**What's your proposed solution?**

All "open all" plots should be arranged to maximize the screen and to have all with the plots using the same plot size automatically.

**Are there any alternative solutions?**

Allowing several plots within a single window or grid.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the window-group saving and “open all” plot behavior, then determine how plot windows are positioned and sized. Done means opening several plots arranges them in a screen-filling grid with consistent sizes instead of overlapping or requiring manual adjustment.
