Change Resolution

[TunTun]

Hello,

Is there any parameter or function that can change the resolution of the output graphics? Say sometimes I need 1024x768, sometimes I need 512x389.

Thanks.

Are referring to the monitor resolution or the size of the graphics window? Either way, have a look at the following commands in the documentation:

viz.displaymode()
viz.windowsize()

Thanks. I'll try viz.displaymode().

BTW, what's the width/height of viz.windowsize(width, height)? If they are the number of pixels, then what's the difference between these two commands?

viz.displaymode() changes the resolution of your monitor

viz.windowsize() changes the size of the Vizard graphics window

Hi,

Our HMD is nVisor SX which can display a 1280x1024 image. I tried to use viz.displaymode(640,512) at the beginning of my program to get half resolution. But I get the following message and nothing changed.
** ERROR: Failed to set requested display mode

Did I miss something?

Thanks,

Your monitor does not support that resolution. Why do you want to set the resolution to half?

Hi,

I also tried to set the resolution of my monitor, but then I can see nothing but color stripe in my HMD.

Thanks,
