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.
