This menu allows you to control attributes for the graphics viewers.
Graphics Viewer
Allows you to select which graphics viewer is to be used to display any graphical output. Select the checkbox if you want to
use the old-style Graphics Viewer (Version 4.1).
Graphics Wizard
Allows you to select whether the graphics wizard menu should close when you click on the Finish button.
Disable Hardware Acceleration
To display its graphical output, GenStat uses the OpenGL system. Many graphics cards
provide on-board support for OpenGL, accessed via proprietary device drivers, in order to obtain the best performance.
GenStat will try to use any hardware support that is available, but on some occasions problems may arise because of
incompatibilities in the device driver. These can usually be corrected by downloading an updated driver (from the graphics
card manufacturer's website). Alternatively, you can disable hardware acceleration, which should result in GenStat selecting
a screen mode that uses software OpenGL support.
Symptoms arising from hardware incompatibilities can vary a great deal, from simple problems with colours appearing or
disappearing, to unexplained crashes.
