Use Aspect Ratio. Enables you to specify the height. The width is automatically calculated from the
aspect ratio of your current view.
Use View. Uses the width and height of your current view.
■ Width - enables you to enter the width in pixels, when available.
■ Height - enables you to enter the height in pixels, when available.
4 Select the desired value in the Anti-Aliasing box. This option applies to OpenGL renderer only. Anti-aliasing
