A geom string is a special configuration setting in Eternity which allows specification of all of the characteristics of a video mode in a single string.
Syntax
The syntax of a geom string is as follows:
WWWWxHHHH[flags]
Where WWWW is the width, between 320 and the maximum supported system window width; HHHH is the height, between 200 and the maximum supported system window height; and [flags] is an optional valid combination of the following single-letter specifiers:
Flag | Description |
---|---|
w | Selects windowed mode. |
f | Selects fullscreen mode. |
a | Selects "asynchronous" or non-page-flipped updating. |
v | Selects page-flipped updating. |
s | Selects "software" surface. |
h | Selects "hardware" surface (eg. DirectDraw acceleration) |
n | Creates primary window without a window frame, where supported. |
Flag | Description |
Examples
The following are examples of valid geom strings.
320x200w
640x480f
