Screen Width and Height for Macintosh Plus, SE, and II (42322)
This article was previously published under Q42322
SUMMARY
The following is a summary of the screen widths and heights (measured
in pixels) for Apple Macintosh screens:
Computer Width Height
Macintosh Plus and SE 512 342
Macintosh II 640 480
In QuickBASIC the SYSTEM(5) function returns the screen width, and
SYSTEM(6) returns the screen height of the machine on which a program
is running. These functions should be used to make applications
portable, as opposed to hard-coding the above values into a program.
This function is documented starting on Page 323 of "Microsoft
QuickBASIC for Apple Macintosh: Language Reference."
MORE INFORMATION
The term "resolution" is not standard terminology for Macintosh
literature. The terms "width" and "height" are more common. The
Macintosh II screen has the same resolution as VGA SCREEN modes 11 and
12 in QuickBASIC for MS-DOS, which are the highest resolutions
possible for QuickBASIC for MS-DOS.
