$RESIZE

The $RESIZE metacommand determines if a program window can be resized by the user.

Syntax

$RESIZE:{ON|OFF|STRETCH|SMOOTH}

Description

• $RESIZE:ON is used to allow the program window to be resized by a program user. Otherwise it cannot be changed.
• $RESIZE:OFF (default) is used when the program's window size cannot be changed by the user.
• $RESIZE:STRETCH the screen will be stretched to fit the new window size with a 1 to 1 ratio of width and height.
• $RESIZE:SMOOTH the screen will be stretched also, but with linear filtering applied to the pixels.
