Show and Move the Visuals Window

Use a live server on macOS with a routed visual. The native window opens on the machine running the server, so use that machine’s display controls.

Route a visual and open the window

use "std/visuals" as gfx;
let picture = gfx.Noise("background");
picture >> screen;
screen.show_window();
PLAY;

Evaluate this in the live session. Alternatively, run RESONON: Open Visuals in VSCode after routing the visual. Calling show_window() again while the window is open does nothing.

Move and resize it

Drag the window’s title bar to the target display. Drag an edge or corner to resize it. Use the macOS green window button, or Ctrl+Cmd+F, to enter native fullscreen; use the shortcut again to leave it. There is no Resonon window-position API.

Window size scales the presented picture while preserving its aspect ratio, with black bars where needed. Set the composition size independently of the window:

screen.resolution(1280, 800);

The default is 1920 × 1080. Width and height must be positive integers, and the dimensions multiplied by supersampling must fit the GPU’s texture limit. Every operator uses this size; screen.snap and render(screen) export it too. Changing size clears feedback trails.

The window draws one sample per pixel. To change supersampling quality, evaluate screen.set_quality(2) and check GPU load and playback; higher quality increases rendering work.

Close and reopen it

Close the window with its normal close button. To display the routed graph again, evaluate screen.show_window() or use RESONON: Open Visuals. For output without a live window, use Render Visuals to Video.
