scale
Description
Resizes the PTC ALD screen to a certain percentage of its actual size, giving you the option to save the settings to the 3b2.bat file so they will be used in the next and subsequent APP sessions.
 
Example 245. Scale screen to 50% of real size
The macro below scales PTC ALD screen to 50% of real size, effectively giving you twice as big a screen area. The values will be written to the 3b2.bat file.
scale .5,.5:scale !
The scaling factor appears as a parameter to the screen device name in the 3b2.bat file, e.g. -s:VESA,.5,.5
Syntax
scale x factor:f? ( y factor:f ( update:b? ) )
x factor
Horizontal scaling factor (no scaling=1).
y factor
Vertical scaling factor (no scaling=1).
update
!
Write the current settings to the 3b2.bat file.
 
On Windows systems, settings are saved to the sargsw.3ad file instead.
