Screen size and Monitor.-
Any monitor can be used to work with Mg5 as its
windows will be auto-adjusted. Nevertheless, for working in a
comfortable way, it is recommended to use a minimum resolution of
1024x768 pixels, and it is preferred, if possible, a width of 1280 or
greater. This is due to the fact the Mg5 incorporates for Unix users,
its own Viewer, and for Windows users, a version of Ghostview that
allows the same way of presentation.
The ideal way of working is to have both,
the application and the viewer, on the screen. In such a situation,
every change done to the drawing can be visualize "on-the-go"
in its definitive aspect. More on the Viewers, later on.
The
Author has used a width of 1280 pixels along the writing of this last
version with full satisfaction.
Finally, regarding the aspects
mentioned, now it can be said that no one O.S. is preferred. The
special characteristics of Windows and/or Unix, practically, do not
alter the usability of Mg5, although the fact of having several
workspaces allowed in Unix, always represents a certain advantage.
