Command line parameters
You can start shapeXT with options most likely to change the program's behavior. You normally do this from a command prompt (Windows) or a shell (Linux). An option is a combination of the option name and sometimes one parameter.
| Short | Long | Description |
|---|---|---|
-h | --help | Shows short list and explanation of the command line options and exits the program |
-v | --version | Shows shapeXT version information and exits the program |
-s | --software | Forces shapeXT to use OpenGL software rendering. Software rendering is slow and very CPU intense. This option should only be used as a fallback method to solve problems with the graphics card and/or driver. |
--gl33 | Forces shapeXT to use legacy OpenGL 3,3 rendering. This option should only be used as a fallback method to solve problems with the graphics card and/or driver. |
