 On a graphical desktop you can also drag and drop a file icon on to the
 lines.love window.
 
+You can also configure the size of the window on the commandline. For example:
+
+```sh
+$ path/to/love path/to/lines.love -geometry 640x480+10+10 path/to/file/to/edit
+```
+
+The syntax of the geometry parameter is {width}x{height}+{x}+{y} which will
+position the top-left corner of the window at co-ordinate (x,y). The geometry
+parameter must come before the file to edit.
