I would like to be able to change the screen size runtime

[abassign]

I would like to be able to change the screen size from the menu on run-time. This function would be useful for me to realize some views for the cube-maps. I thought of doing it as a menu, plus it would be convenient to have no outside view, but only black! That's why I tried to bring the plane to 1E6 st, it works but it's not very practical ... Also from the menu I would like to activate the view change sequence and the 6 screen-shot automatically.

Has anyone already written this type of script?

Thank you

i don't think you can change the screen size once in the sim... you can select from a few screen sizes in the launcher but not all that are possible are denoted... you can specify more from the command line but full screen mode ignores the requested size and uses the screen's default or existing setting...

i think, but am not totally sure right now, that the reason you cannot do this on the fly in the sim is because the video subsystem needs to be reset based on the desired resolution...

Meanwhile, thanks for the answer, actually it is a doubt that I have, but I noticed that it is possible to define auxiliary displays for multi-screen functions, which would seem to be described via an XML http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:%20Configure_camera_view_windows

I hope that someone can give a more precise answer as this feature would be very useful for making more realistic cube-maps.

I guess, whether this works depends mainly on the osgviewer code re-reading the updated widght/height values (if those are exposed at properties).
There would need to be polling or a listener for those changes to be noticed.
Like you say, the CameraGroup (window handling stuff) seems most likely to support such things, because it got added more "recently" than the old code.
