DISP_MODE

Syntax

DISP_MODE mode

Location

SMSQ/E for Q68

This function sets the Q68 screen mode where mode can take the following values:

  • 0 QL 8 colour mode

    the standard 512 x 256 pixels mode in 8 colours. In this mode you can also set mode 4, with the usual MODE keyword. This is then equivalent to setting DISP_MODE 1.

  • 1 QL 4 colour mode

    the standard 512 x 256 pixels in 4 colours mode. In this mode you can also set mode 8, with the usual MODE keyword. This is then equivalent to setting DISP_MODE 0.

  • 2 Small 16 bit mode

    512 x 256 pixels in mode 33 (16 bits per pixel).

  • 3 Large 16 bit mode

    1024 x 512 pixels in mode 33 (16 bits per pixel). Please note that this mode will slow down the Q68, you should not use this mode when doing something time-critical.

  • 4 Large QL Mode 4

    1024 x 768 pixels in QL 4 colours mode (there is no mode 8 in this display mode).

  • 5 Aurora compatible 8 bit colours

    1024 x 768 pixels in Aurora 256 colours mode. This allows you to have a big screen with nicer colours while still being reasonably fast (but slower than the QL modes).

  • 6 Medium 16 bit mode

    512 x 384 pixels in mode 33 (16 bits per pixel).

  • 7 Very large 16 bit mode

    1024 x 768 pixels in mode 33 (16 bits per pixel). Please note that this mode will severely slow down the Q68, you should not use this mode when doing something time-critical.
