Configure position of window for cv::imshow

Question

Is there a way to change the position of the window that pops up when cv::imshow is called?

For me, the window seems to appear partially off-screen, so I have to drag it around before I can see entire image. It's very annoying to have to do this every single time.

I had a look at the reference manual -- it seems you have control over what goes into the title of the window, but I can't see anything relating to window position.

Oh, and the behavior is the same if I use the old C interface (cvShowImage).

Any ideas?

As of OpenCV 2.1 this is possible also in C++ API using the moveWindow function:

cv::moveWindow(std::string winName, int x, int y) 

For example:

cv::namedWindow("WindowName"); cv::moveWindow("WindowName", 10, 50);
