1.1 Starting the code
FOLDER is run from the command line.
FOLDER may be run both locally on your machine and remotely, in client/server mode, using the remote machine
(client) to display on the local screen (server). For remote usage it will be necessary to set the host’s DISPLAY
environment variable to point to the server, and to enable remote display on the server: see section 1.3 if you have
problems doing this.
1.2 Selecting a graphics device
On Windows This panel is not normally mapped, and FOLDER starts under OpenGL automatically
On Unix / Linux When FOLDER starts you will see the device selection panel:
There are also three settings that control the appearance of the screen menu interface (but not the graphical images of
your model). These are:
Scale Controls the effective scale of the display used for the menu interface.
The menu system for FOLDER was designed for a high resolution (1280 x 1024) display of at
least 17" size. On smaller screens and/or lower resolution displays it can be a bit over-sized
leading to some panels being too small for their contents. The "scale" value can be used to factor
the physical size of the display: values greater than 1.0 will make it appear to be larger, so text
and buttons will shrink making more of them fit into panels.
This variable may also be set using the environment variable DISPLAY_FACTOR. Valid
settings being a number in the range 0.5 to 2.0, or the word "automatic". For example:
setenv DISPLAY_FACTOR 1.2 ( C shell syntax)
DISPLAY_FACTOR=automatic; export DISPLAY_FACTOR (Bourne shell)
The "automatic" setting calculates a factor based on your physical screen size: you can still
overwrite it in this front panel.
(May also be set interactively from the Options >, Menu Attributes pulldown window.)
