A.7.5 – Displaying Text Session in Graphics Mode
Previously Axel used the legacy method to display text sessions (telnet, 5250, 3270...) based on
columns and rows (80x25, 132x25...) and a specific resolution.
We are changing the way we display text because:
- Many new TFT monitors no longer support the specific resolution required (720x400) - or if
they do the characters are blurry and jittery
- Many monitors have a slight delay when changing session of different resolutions. Using
graphics resolutions lets Windows and telnet sessions use the same resolution.
- Most new monitors are widescreen, and the legacy characters, designed for aspect ratio 4/3
can be distorted when ‘stretched’ on a wide screen monitor.
The solution is to use graphics resolutions for text displays. This addresses the first two points
above; the character issue is covered below.
The challenge is fitting characters designed for aspect ratio of 4/3 onto a 16/9 screen without
creating distortion and keeping the characters ascetically acceptable.
To resolve this issue we offer two variables:
- Full screen or part screen (window).
- Options for character size and space between characters.
