11 Chapter 3: Software for Windows NT 4.0
Use HydraVision
HydraVision software works with the Hurricane
hardware and device drivers to create a seamless
multiple monitor desktop. HydraVision allows multiple
monitors connected to the Hurricane card to appear
as one large display rather than several smaller ones.
You can spread one application across all monitors or
put a different application on each monitor.
Figure 3. Dual Monitor Array
The above figure shows four applications displayed on
two monitors. The desktop and applications stretch
across both monitors. HydraVision allows you to drag,
drop and resize application windows to fit anywhere
on a multiple monitor desktop.
Using multiple monitors with Windows can be awkward
when windows and dialog boxes are split across
monitors or appear where they’re not wanted. The
HydraVision Desktop Manager solves this problem by
allowing you to set preferences for window and dialog
box placement.
HydraVision installation in Windows NT 4.0 enables
the Appian Desktop Manager and adds the
HydraVision display management software to your
Windows Control Panel group, where it appears as
additional tabs in the Display Properties dialog box.
The HydraVision control panel allows you to adjust
the Desktop Manager and other display options.
