On the Apple II-family of computers (including the Apple IIe and Apple IIgs), Graphics Resolutions (GR) is a low-level graphics mode that is accessible through Applesoft BASIC (the command "GR") as well as compiled programs.

This particular resolution was useless for most applications, as it was merely a 40x40 grid with 4-bit color (that is, 16 colors), and thus pixels would like like large rectangles. Because of this, most applications opted for either Super High-Resolution Graphics (SHGR) for Apple IIgs applications, or High-Resolution Graphics (HGR) for other Apple platforms.
