Initialization Commands

Disable Backing StoreRegistry Entry: BackingStore = “off”Command Line: -B

Default Setting: on

Only applicable to versions of TeemTalk that support graphics emulations.When TeemTalk is in ReGIS mode it automatically stores a copy of graphics data in memory when graphics are initially drawn by the host in the window, a feature known as ‘backing store’. This enables graphics to be redrawn quickly from local memory when the TeemTalk window is uncovered after being obscured by other windows, or when the window is restored or maximized from an iconized state. The backing store feature can be disabled so that graphics data sent from the host can be drawn up to 50% faster.

Enable Plane MaskingRegistry Entry: PlaneMasking = “on”Command Line: -PM

Default Setting: off

Only applicable to versions of TeemTalk that support ReGIS mode. When TeemTalk is in ReGIS mode and you are using an application that uses multiple surfaces, you can use this command to enable TeemTalk to support them. Note that your PC must have a display adaptor that supports 256 colour mode and your system must be running in this mode in order for multiple surfaces to be supported.

Disable Sixel Graphics ScalingRegistry Entry: ScaleSixels = “off”Command Line: -Y

Default Setting: on

Only applicable to versions of TeemTalk that support graphics emulations. By default the ReGIS sixel graphics display of 800x400 (world coordinates) is automatically scaled to fit the current size of the TeemTalk window. This command will prevent scaling of the image and cause the right and bottom edges of the image to be clipped to fit the window if it is too big.
