Mark, just ask the system how big the screen is using GetWindowRect():
#include wtypes.h
#include iostream
using namespace std;
// Get the horizontal and vertical screen sizes in pixel
void GetDesktopResolution(int horizontal, int vertical)
{
RECT desktop;
// Get a handle to the desktop
Mark,
I am running LH on my Lenovo Laptops with their native resolution

On my bigger external 19 Eizo screen:

do use often higher resolution having

the code for maximum natural goodness...

There is not really enough information to make a good recommendation. Is
this a one off or is the plan to make multiple units, what are the phase
noise requirements, what are the cost limitations? If cost is a major issue
there are in my opinion only two options.
In both cases a VCO
Hi Bert,
Thanks for the input.

-Phase noise is not too important
-It is to make just a few (and cost is not a major issue)

On the second one at 50 MHz compare you will be able to do 25 Hz steps at
18 GHZ since this is fractional. They will not be exactly 25 Hz because of
the fractional nature but if exact steps are required you use a reference

Am I missing something?
Why not just query the system, and ask it what it knows about the screen
in use?
Other software tools and utils can do it, I even remember doing it in
QuickBasic back in the dark old DOS days, when you were seen as a minor
deity if you had anything larger than a 640x480

Yes, Lady Heather can determine the size of your tube! But that doesn't
really help...
The main issue is there are zillions of combinations of things that can be
displayed and in different positions on the screen and with different font
sizes, etc. To keep things sane and manageable,

Okay, it sounds a nice path to investigate.

Most common screen resolutions for me:
4x3 aspect ratio:

1600x1200
16x10 aspect ratio

2560x1600
The 1920x1200 is a 16x10 ration, which seems to be more common that

Hi
The loop bandwidth needs to be quite wide while you are switching. Once you
are done with the move you can shrink the bandwidth quite a bit.
Depending on what you are trying to do, that may or may not help ...

For some reason Mark hasn't responded yet...
I expect he knows how to programatically determine screen size - my assumption,
so it's probably wrong...
On the other hand, perhaps he's asking for formatting purposes. If everyone is
using a 'large' screen, then Lady Heather can be designed to

I'm not familiar with that particular part, but it's something to be
