Communication Setup>Graphics

This tab is only available for TN3270 display sessions.

Enable Graphics Support
Select or clear this check box to enable or disable graphics support.

Resolution
This option specifies at what resolution the mainframe graphics application should send the graphics data to the PC.

Program Symbol Sets
This option is used to allocate memory for mainframe graphics applications requiring the use of programmed symbols (for example, CA-TELLAGRAF, CA-DISSPLA, IBM’s RTPMS, and UNIRAS). Most other packages do not require the extra memory, so the default is set to PS A and B to keep PASSPORT memory requirements as low as possible. The option may be set to None, PS A and B, or PS A through F.

Enable Vector Graphic Redraw Buffer
This option allows you to change the vector graphics redraw buffer size from the default of 512KB to a value within the range of 128KB (minimum) to 1024KB (maximum).

Note: To use PASSPORT with SAS/GRAPH, the Terminal resolution and PS A and B must be configured. To use PASSPORT with RTPMS, ACS, and other GDDM graphics programs that require program symbol sets or that were written primarily for the IBM 3279 S3G graphics terminal, PS A through F must be configured. If your host graphics application uses transparent/opaque text, you must configure either PS None or PS A and B. Transparent text is not supported when PS A through F is configured.
