GraphicsHeight ( )

Parameters

None.

Description

Returns the height of the current graphics display, in pixels.

This is the height passed to Graphics (or Graphics3D). Use it rather than a hard-coded number so bottom-anchored HUD bars, vertical centring and screen-edge checks survive a resolution change untouched.

See also: GraphicsWidth, GraphicsDepth, Graphics.
