## *SCREEN* Syntax
|
|
|
|
> **WIDTH** [**columns%**][**, rows%**]
|
|
|
|
## *File* Syntax
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Parameter(s)
|
|
|
|
* When parameters are not specified, columns defaults to 80 with 25 (30 in [SCREEN](SCREEN) 11 or 12) rows.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
* WIDTH should be used AFTER a program SCREEN statement! It does not affect screen graphics or graphic coordinates.
|
|
* Affects SCREEN 0 Window size and alters the text block size of each screen mode listed in QBasic:
|
|
* SCREEN 0 can use 80 or 40 columns and 25, 43 or 50 rows. Default is WIDTH 80, 25.
|
|
* SCREEN 9 can use 80 columns and 25 or 43(not supported on many monitors) rows. Default WIDTH 80, 25 fullscreen.
|
|
* SCREEN 10 can use 80 columns and 25 or 43 rows. Default is WIDTH 80, 25 fullscreen.
|
|
* SCREEN 11 and 12 can use 80 columns and 30 or 60 rows. Default is WIDTH 80, 30 fullscreen.
|
|
* **QB64** can alter all [SCREEN](SCREEN) mode widths and heights which may also affect text or [_FONT](_FONT) block sizes.
|
|
* If a [$CONSOLE]($CONSOLE) window is active and you set [_DEST](_DEST) [_CONSOLE](_CONSOLE), WIDTH will affect the console output window size (Windows only).
|
|
* **Note:** WIDTH changes may change screen color settings in QBasic. Use [PALETTE](PALETTE) to reset to default colors.
