Description

This option specifies the resolution (in pixels per inch) at which the new G2 process displays its local window and any telewindows to which it is connected. Use this option to adjust the absolute size of G2's window to the resolution characteristics of your display device. For more information see Specifying the Resolution and Magnification.

By default, G2 displays a window at 75 dots per inch (dpi).

Special Considerations

For a display device that supports distinct settings for its vertical (y-axis) resolution and horizontal (x-axis) resolution, you can specify separate default vertical and horizontal resolutions, as follows:

Don't combine the -resolution option with either the -x-resolution or -y-resolution options. If you specify the -x-resolution option, you should also specify the -y-resolution option, and vice versa.

Example

This command starts a new G2 process that displays its window at a resolution of 150 dots per inch:
