System Parameters

'BD'

Use Windows GDI+

Description

(Windows Only)

The 'BD' (Better Drawing) parameter controls whether Windows GDI+ is used to provide smoother curved and angled lines when the following shapes are drawn: Arc, Ellipse, Pie, Line and Polygon.

If this parameter is On, Windows GDI+ will be used.

If this parameter is Off, Windows GDI will be used, which is sufficient for straight horizontal and vertical lines; however, curved and angled lines will appear slightly jagged and uneven.

(The 'BD' system parameter was added in PxPlus 2020.)

Default

On – Windows GDI+ will be used.

Example


Curved Line: Smooth


Curved Line: Uneven
