Screen size

[emfril]

I have written a program that reads the coastline coordinates of the continents and prints custom perspectives. I've been using SCREEN 12, which is 320x240 pixels:

I would like to make the screen bigger, but if I use the _FULSCREEN command the image is distortedQ

I could of course change the code so that the full screen is not distorted. But I wonder: Is there a way to  make it as big as possible but preserve the aspect ratio?

And, even better: can I specify the size of a (larger) screen in pixels? I would certainly like to increase the shight of the image to that of my screen and have a better resolution.

Thanks.

You can set up any screen you want, look into the examples for _NEWIMAGE in our Wiki.

You may use the returns of _DESKTOPWIDTH/_DESKTOPHEIGHT to make a screen as big as your desktop, use _SCREENMOVE to move it to position 0,0 so it is fully visible.

Always remember, the Wiki is your friend.

Have you considered re-writing the entire program in SCREEN 0?

Easiest solution to this type thing:

$RESIZE:STRETCH

Or 

$RESIZE:SMOOTH

Add to the top of your window, then drag the edges to resize as needed.
