Syntax

public static class TextModeCRTCalibration

Remarks

The pattern goes through the whole tube: scanlines, video signal, afterglow, glow, mask and curvature. It is drawn at the resolution the picture is captured at, one pattern pixel per captured pixel, which is one display pixel unless the settings fix the cell size or the number of lines.

It is one switch for every TextMode view with a CRT, every camera effect and every in-world monitor, because calibration belongs to the display. A camera effect replaces the camera's whole picture, including a menu that camera draws, so a settings screen that offers the patterns should draw its controls on another camera or a view without a CRT.

The pattern is switched off at the start of every play session.

The following example shows the gray ramp while a settings screen is open and switches it off again afterwards. The grille pattern uses GrilleWidth for its line width.

TextModeCRTCalibration.Pattern = CRTCalibrationPattern.GrayRamp;
/* Or the grille with two pixel wide lines. */
TextModeCRTCalibration.GrilleWidth = 2;
TextModeCRTCalibration.Pattern = CRTCalibrationPattern.Grille;
/* When the settings screen closes. */
TextModeCRTCalibration.Pattern = CRTCalibrationPattern.None;

Fields

MAX_GRILLE_WIDTH

Widest grille line in pixels, 4.

Declaration

public const int MAX_GRILLE_WIDTH = 4

Field Value

Type	Description
int

MIN_GRILLE_WIDTH

Narrowest grille line in pixels, 1. With this width the grille alternates every pixel.

Declaration

public const int MIN_GRILLE_WIDTH = 1

Field Value

Type	Description
int

Properties

GrilleWidth

Gets or sets the width of one grille line in pixels, from MIN_GRILLE_WIDTH to MAX_GRILLE_WIDTH. 1 by default, which alternates every pixel. Values outside the range are clamped. Only the Grille pattern uses it.

Declaration

public static int GrilleWidth { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
int

IsActive

Gets whether a pattern is shown, which is the case when Pattern is anything other than None.

Declaration

public static bool IsActive { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

Pattern

Gets or sets the pattern shown in place of the picture. None, the default, shows the picture. Every CRT view, camera effect and in-world monitor reads the value each frame, so a change shows on the next frame.

Declaration

public static CRTCalibrationPattern Pattern { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
CRTCalibrationPattern
