Hi Wayne,

Sorry to say, but from the look of this, it's an issue with XQuartz that is not yet resolved:

XQuartz does not support retina displays well
https://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/661

I haven't yet worked with such a configuration myself, I just dug this up.

Cheers,
-Dick

But when I use the IDL GET_SCREEN_SIZE() function (or device,get_screen_size= procedure) it says the window size is 1280 x 777. I have been told that IDL cannot handle the retina display so it just doubles pixels, which makes my new machine have really *low* resolution. Please tell me that this is not true.
