is there any way turing can find the resolution of the screen and the program will become fullscreen? such as
setscreen("graphics :fullx;fully") or something like that

code:


setscreen ("graphics:max;max,")

Turing cannot make it true full screen, but you can make it fill as much as it can by doing that ^

and also using nobuttonbar.

This is not very efficient because your output will be disoriented when you change monitors.
This should only be used if you are creating a simple program which only outputs text.

However, as Euphoracle said, you can make it fill as much as possible by using the following:

Turing:


setscreen ("graphics:number of x pixels;number of y pixels, position:center;center")   % basic syntax

setscreen ("graphics:1010;690, position:center;center")   % example



Hope this helps. Cool

You can fill it even more by doing this:
code:
View.Set ("graphics:max;max,nobuttonbar")

True, but then how can you specify the location of a picture for example, so that it will appear on the same location on the screen of every monitor?

And what does nobuttonbar do B.T.W Embarassed

nobuttonbar, means you will not see the button bar on the top of the executed program.

Instead of using real values use the maxx and maxy and play around with it. In short, use variables instead of concrete number.

For example to place a picture in the center of the screen (size of monitor doesn't matter) you can you this:
Turing:
Pic.Draw (picture, (maxx div 2) - (Pic.Width (picture) div 2), (maxy div 2) - (Pic.Height (picture) div 2), picCopy)

You'll have to figure out the rest by yourself.

the best way to do it would be create a new draw function that accepts a real number thats >0 and <1. Then it does the following to determine the location
Turing:

proc DrawRelativeBox(x1,y1,x2,y2:real)
var X1,X2,Y1,Y2:int
X1:=round(x1*maxx)
Y1:=round(y1*maxy)
X2:=round(x2*maxx)
Y2:=round(y2*maxy)
drawfillbox(X1,Y1,X2,Y2,black)
end DrawRelativeBox
