- Screen Format (Picture Menu)
-
- This displays the "Screen Format" requester which allows you to select the
- number of screen colors and resolution.
-
- SEE -> `ScreenFormatReq.pic`
-
- LO-RES: The DEFAULT screen size, gives you a screen that is 320 pixel wide
- by 200 pixels high, with a maximum of 4096 colors (in HAM mode). If
- your Amiga supports Extra-Halfbrite (All A500s & A2000s and SOME
- A1000s - Check with your dealer or service-center), you can display a
- maximum of 64 colors without going into the overhead of HAM mode.
-
- Although Extra-Halfbrite provides you with 64 colors, only the first
- 32 are user-adjustable - the last 32 are just half-intensities of the
- first 32.
-
- SEE -> `HBrite Mode`
-
- MED-RES: 640 x 200 with a maximum of 16 colors.
-
- INTERLACE: 320 x 400 with all colors modes up to HAM available.
-
- HI-RES: 640 x 400 with 16 colors maximum.
-
- OVERSCAN: Activates overscan mode and allows you to paint directly into
- the borders of the screen so that the image fills the entire screen.
- Especially useful when outputting to video, but very memory intensive.
- There are two type of overscan:
-
- STD: should fill the majority of the video screen and conserves a
- significant amount of memory.
-
- MAX: fills the maximum area of the screen. Use this setting if the
- STD setting does not quite cover the entire screen.
-
-
- IF YOU NEED TO ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE SCREEN, PRESSING THE CTRL KEY
- WHILE USING THE CURSOR KEYS WILL ALLOW YOU TO DO SO WITHOUT HAVING TO USE
- WORKBENCH PREFERENCES.
