Cannot adjust monitor size

[Michael]

Hi, the new monitor definition needs to be explicitly saved, e.g.

Define monitor without "monitor center" (no standalone psychopy)

After reading the above linked instruction manual more carfully and until the end, I found the solution: # Define a monitor my_monitor = monitors.Monitor(name='my_monitor_name') my_monitor.setSizePix((1280, 800)) my_monitor.setWidth(20) my_monitor.setDistance(100) my_monitor.saveMon() After that, you will be able to load “my_monitor_name” when opening a visual.window

Monitor specification not found

PsychoPy always gives a warning if you create a monitor with a name that it doesn’t recognise. The warning is actually coming up before you get to the Window class, in the line mon = monitors.Monitor(monitorname, width=monitorwidth, distance=viewdist) The feature is there to alert you to the fact that the calibration file wasn’t found (e.g. you might have saved it and someone has accidentally deleted it). You could either ignore the warning because it isn’t relevant to you the way you’re usin…

I guess the documentation could be changed to state this, as it seems to keep coming up as an issue…
