Name

bufferDepth — NN n/a IE 4 DOM n/a

Synopsis

Read/Write

Setting of the offscreen bitmap buffer. Path animation smoothness may improve on some clients if you match the bufferDepth to the colorDepth values. Setting the bufferDepth to -1 forces IE to buffer at the screen’s pixel depth (as set in the control panel), and colorDepth is automatically set to that value, as well (plus if a user changes the bits per pixel, the buffer is adjusted accordingly). A setting to any of the other permitted values (1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 24, or 32) buffers at that pixel depth and sets the colorDepth to that value. The client’s display must be set to the higher bits-per-pixel values to take advantage of the higher settings in scripts.

Example

screen.bufferDepth = 4

Value

Any of the following allowed integers: -1 | 0 | 4 | 8 | 15 | 16 | 24 | 32.
