DVI Window Settings

DVI Window Settings

"Window Position", "Display Rotation", and "Window Size" only apply to the borderless DVI window.

"Display Area" specifies what is shown in the DVI window. Activate "Full Size" and your full matrix will be displayed. Or you can select a certain cut-out and specify which details of your matrix will be shown. You can choose the start coordinates and the end coordinates of this area. "Left:" and "Top:" define the start coordinates in a coordinate system that starts with 0,0 in the top left corner. "Right:" and "Bottom:" define the end coordinates. The end coordinates cannot be higher than the full size of the matrix. For example, for a matrix with 50x50 pixels, the maximum value of "Right:" and "Bottom:" is 50.
The standard configuration includes an activated "Full Size".
Please press "Apply" to activate the changes you have made.

You can use "Display Rotation" in the following way: Select "DVI" first, change the settings, and then switch back to "Fullscreen".

You can lock this window at a particular position. Right-click and choose "Lock Position" from the context menu.
