Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Defines logical dimensions for the current graphics viewport. Use the WINDOW
statement to define your own viewport coordinate system.
 
WINDOW [[SCREEN] (x1!,y1!)-(x2!,y2!)]
 
    ■ SCREEN       Inverts the normal Cartesian direction of the y screen
                   coordinates so that y values increase from the top of the
                   screen to the bottom.
    ■ (x1!,y1!)    Logical coordinates that map to the upper-left screen
                   coordinates of the viewport.
    ■ (x2!,y2!)    Logical coordinates that map to the lower-right screen
                   coordinates of the viewport.
 
    ■ WINDOW with no arguments disables the logical coordinate system.
    ■ Use the VIEW statement to change the size of the viewport.
 
Example:
    'This example requires a color graphics adapter.
    SCREEN 1
    FOR i% = 1 TO 10 STEP 2
        WINDOW (-160 / i%, -100 / i%)-(160 / i%, 100 / i%)
        CIRCLE (0, 0), 10
    NEXT i%
