DemoTools - questions and answers: screen resolution

Why does the DemoTools software require a screen resolution of 1024x768?

We have decided to base the development of the DemoTools software on certain design principles. One of these decisions was to avoid a confusing clutter of overlapping and scrolling windows on the monitor screen. We try to organize the interface of our applications in such a way, that whatever interaction is necessary at one particular step in a procedure is available on one single screen - without the necessity of scrolling or switching between (overlapping) sub-windows.
For instance, in Tool #1 (population projections) we want the output screens to show the results of three projections simultaneously - three (moving) population pyramids, three summary tables, three pie-charts for the age groups. This should make it easy for the user to immediately compare the results of projection variants (or projections for different countries). However, this requires sufficient screen space - in other words: a higher screen resolution.
