Blurred text in graphics PG2
Hi all,
Does any of you, with some experiance on the PG2, have already noticed that the text displayed in a graphic display or graphic element is a bit blur ?
Does anyblody have a workaround for this ?
I've noticed that few weeks ago during the graphics migration... The letters of the texts are not as sharp as they were on Visual Basic PG.
Thanks in advance for your answers/comments.

Process Graphics 2 technology based on WPF that uses DirectX for drawing graphics.
Changing 3D settings of your graphic adapter may remedy your problem.
For ATI/AMD graphics you can go to the Catalyst control center -> Graphics -> 3D. There your may adjust graphics for better performance.
The edges of screen fonts and other PG2 graphics elements should be more shapen.

This problem mainly happens if the Server Hardware has some low performance Graphic card which might not have appropiate Display Exchange characteristics and you try to open the Gaphics on the server. Process Graphics is designed to have the best performance when it is used in Client Nodes.
I would also suggest you to try changing the resolution of the monitor. Maybe that might solve the problem.
Hope this helps
Hi,
No issue with the resolution before. I tried it anyway but no success.
I've tried to change the image settings of my Nvidia card but I haven't seen any noticeable changes on screen.
I also completely disable the Antialiasing but no success as well...
If anybody have other hints for me, that would be nice !

The top view is the VBPG.
The botton view is the PG2.

Ok. Now I see.
But this is a normal font for the PG2 , not so blur and couldn't be better.
If you need text to be more sharpen - change font to (for example) Tahoma.
Is your monitor LCD or CRT?
Hello again
Because PG2 is based on WPF I can advise you one solution for changing WPF rendering but be noticed that:
a. This will affect on all WPF-based application text rendering, not only to PG2.
b. This is applicable for current user only. Another user log on to Windows must re-apply the settings.
1. Open registry editor (regedit.exe).
2. Go HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DISPLAY1
3. Set ClearTypeLevel parameter value to 0.
4. Set TextContrastLevel parameter value to 0.
5. Log off log in to Windows.
You can try work with ClearType setting via the Control Panel but for Windows XP registry is much flexible way to adjust WPF rendering. You may also play with these two parameter to adjust font according to your criteria.
