On Unix

On Unix graphics uses the X11 windows system.

Here are the graphics mode specifications supported by Graphics.open_graph on the X11 implementation of this library: the argument to Graphics.open_graph has the format "display-name geometry", where display-name is the name of the X-windows display to connect to, and geometry is a standard X-windows geometry specification. The two components are separated by a space. Either can be omitted, or both. Examples:

• Graphics.open_graph "foo:0": connects to the display foo:0 and creates a window with the default geometry
• Graphics.open_graph "foo:0 300x100+50-0" connects to the display foo:0 and creates a window 300 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall, at location (50,0)
• Graphics.open_graph " 300x100+50-0" connects to the default display and creates a window 300 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall, at location (50,0)
• Graphics.open_graph "" connects to the default display and creates a window with the default geometry.

On Windows

On Windows graphics uses the native Win32 API.
