Set the size of NX graphics window, pixels x pixels ?
Set the size of NX graphics window, pixels x pixels ?
(OP)
Does anybody know a way to adjust the size of the graphics window to a specific size in pixels ?
I am currently creating a few training exercises for in-house use.
Doing this i found that if i set the graphics window to say 320x250 pixels , i will get consistent good images for the exercise.
I then dump the entire window using Snagit ( -lovely piece of software!) and i have found that it works better to dump a small image where the zooming /panning has been done than trying to crop/shrink a large image and then keep whatever interesting still in the picture, with sharpness.
Using the High quality image - information i can read the current size of the graphics window in pixels, - But is there a way to set the graphics window to , say, 320 x 250 pixels ?
I know that the settings are stored in the Registry and that i can export/import this to get the size back, but it requires a restart of NX to take effect.
I tried creating a journal and then resized but it does not seem to record this action.-or ?
Ufunc ?
Grip ?
KF ?
Thanks in advance,
Tomas

Although in SnagIt you can set the size of a rectangular image.

I use it with Snagit to set the NX window to 1920 x 1080 for recording video clips. You can create hotkeys for sizing a window to exact size & lcoation (even which monitor).

Anyway, it looks like this will be a handy tool to have when, as Anthony said, you want to use something like 'Snagit' to capture what's happening during an NX session and you'd like to be cosistant when using something less than the maximum possible screen size.
Thank you Anthony...

Case Closed.
( Even if it took me a few minutes to understand how to use it...)

As John explain, I have downloaded the 64 bits versions
To save time, thanks in advance to explain how to use it

In fact, I thought it was not working well.
It's OK

What isn't working well ?
I downloaded the 64 bit version. Runs perfect for my needs.
After download of the 64 bit version.
extract to any folder.
Double click the sizer.exe
Then right-click the lower-right corner of any window and select one of the predefined sizes.
Or select the "new entry" and set up the desired size, in my case 320x250
