How to arrange Application Windows on Mac OS X

With Windows there is is an option from the taskbar to tile windows horizontally or vertically. Is there someway to replicate this feature in Mac OS X?

Solution 1:

I found an open source program, ShiftIt.

There is a half screen mode (left, right, top, bottom) and a quarter screen mode (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right). There is even shortcut keys.

Solution 2:

Look at SizeUp, which is a shareware version of TwoUp (mentioned above), which gives you even more flexibility with tiling windows (you can do quarter screens and filled screens as well as move things between monitors). Its fantastic

Solution 3:

Try TwoUp:

TwoUp allows you to quickly position a window to fill exactly half the screen (splitscreen) via the menu bar or configurable system-wide shortcuts (hotkeys). Similar to “tiled windows” functionality available on other operating systems.
