> 132 column × 14 lines (VT100, VT101, VT125) display
> Allows you a larger format for detailed or spread sheet work so you can preview reports prior to printing. (Note: The advanced video option, which is standard with the VT102 and VT131, provides 132 column × 24 lines display.)
- mturmon 10y agoI'm not sure what the vt100 resolution was, but later terminals allowed you to download your own bitmaps. According to (http://www.vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/DECDLD.html http://www.vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/DECDLD.html), these bitmaps were: "10 pixels wide for 80 columns, 6 pixels wide for 132 columns." If their baseline was 800 pixels (80 cols * 10 pix/col) then 132 is the largest number of columns fitting into 800 pixels at 6 pix/col.
