How to make PYGAME window appear on left corner of my monitor?

I am creating a visualization in PYGAME, but the window appears on some random position of my monitor and sometimes some part of the window is obstructed by my taskbar.

enter image description here

Above is a screenshot of where the window appeared. As you can see the bottom of the window is obstructed by my taskbar.

How can I have the pygame window appear on the top left of my monitor? I checked the pygame documentation, but couldn't find any answers.

Below is how I have set up my pygame window.

# pygame config
pygame.init()
WIN_WIDTH = 700
WIN_HEIGHT = 700
window = pygame.display.set_mode((WIN_WIDTH, WIN_HEIGHT))
pygame.display.set_caption("A* Pathfinding Algorithm")
window.fill(colors['white'])
pygame.display.flip()
Solution

  • You can set the position of the pygame window by:

    import os
os.environ['SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS'] = "%d, %d" %(100, 100)

    You have to set the position before initializing the window by pygame.display.set_mode
