hdpi revisited on Linux

[tk1138]

hello,

I trying to get Sweet Home 3D to display better, larger text, in Linux running with a 4K monitor. I've downloaded the latest version, 5.7.

Java is locally installed, from webupd8 ppa.

Code: Select all

java version "9.0.4" 
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9.0.4+11) 
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9.0.4+11, mixed mode)

but it looks like the distribution has its own local jre8?
I created this file "SweetHome3D.l4j.ini" and placed it in
the expanded installed directory and in ./lib from there.
the file has this single line :

Code: Select all

Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale=2

I thought I had this displaying nicely in an older version of Sweet Home 3D, 5.2 release. but this doesn't seem to work in 5.7?

Is there something else I can do to make the text look larger in Linux? I'm use a pre-release of xubuntu Bionic 18-04.

thanks

typo. it was in 5.4 when I tried this last. It was a while ago, and I dont remember if I just worked around the problem and used a regular DPI monitor.

The [font=courier new]SweetHome3D.l4j.ini[/font] file is only for windows and you forgot to add an hyphen if in front of [font=courier new]-D[/font] Java option.
Under Linux, you should edit the [font=courier new]SweetHome3D[/font] file and add all the options cited in the FAQ Texts in the furniture catalog are not displayed correctly or icons in the toolbar appear very small on my computer. How can I fix that?. If you add only the [font=courier new]-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale=2[/font] option, it won't work because it's possible to change font size only in Metal look and feel.

There's no need to install Java since the installer provided in Download page already comes with a copy of Java 8. Anyway, I'm not sure that Sweet Home 3D is able to work under Java 9.

Thanks. I tried this modification -

Code: Select all

 cat SweetHome3D
#!/bin/sh

# Retrieve Sweet Home 3D directory
PROGRAM=`readlink "$0"`
if [ "$PROGRAM" = "" ]; then
  PROGRAM=$0
fi
PROGRAM_DIR=`dirname "$PROGRAM"`

# Run Sweet Home 3D
exec "$PROGRAM_DIR"/jre8/bin/java -Xmx1024m -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale=2.5 -Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel -Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont=Dialog-11  -Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont=SansSerif-11  -Dswing.plaf.metal.systemFont=SansSerif-11 -classpath "$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/SweetHome3D.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/Furniture.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/Textures.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/Examples.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/Help.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/iText-2.1.7.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/freehep-vectorgraphics-svg-2.1.1b.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/sunflow-0.07.3i.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/jmf.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/batik-svgpathparser-1.7.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/java3d-1.6/j3dcore.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/java3d-1.6/j3dutils.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/java3d-1.6/vecmath.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/java3d-1.6/gluegen-rt.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/java3d-1.6/jogl-java3d.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/jre8/lib/javaws.jar -Djava.library.path="$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/java3d-1.6 -Djogamp.gluegen.UseTempJarCache=false -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.applicationId=SweetHome3D#Installer com.eteks.sweethome3d.SweetHome3D -open "$1"

and when I start up, I get this ---

Code: Select all

$ ./SweetHome3D

I see an initial splash screen.. and it just hangs.

Then try with [font=courier new]SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2[/font] script.

[tk1138]

yes, that worked, thank you.
