video_aspect

A7.66 The width to height ratio of the primary monitor; can be modified by the user to determine the startup resolution of the video device in either window or fullscreen mode, and the behavior of the video_switch function.

If the selected fullscreen video aspect is not supported by the video card, the next-nearest video aspect is used. 4:3 is supported by most video cards.

Example (lite-C):

function main() 
{ 
  video_aspect = 1.333; // enforce 4:3 mode
  video_mode = 7;   // start in 800x600 resolution if available
  wait(1)
  ...
}
