Possible to change video size via socket?

[SteveRicketts]

Is there any way to change the video size (or x,y position) when controlling VLC using sockets? If I'm not mistaken, there are ways to do this at the command line --width --height --video-x --videx-y... was hoping to find a way to do this sending a command through the socket. I have an application that needs to change the size from max screen to something smaller and out of the way so the user can see the screen behind and not cover up the parts they need to see... different screen locations for different tasks.

Thanks,
