From the logic of the GP, that would be: Height: 135 * 60 (135 degrees at 60 pixels per degree) Width: 180 * 60 So 87 megapixels, or a 10.8K display with a 4:3 aspect ratio

This book has been heavily edited since it's initial release in 2016. A lot of the text, and most of the code, has been rewritten since then. I am not sure if the (2016) qualifier is adequate.
