Hey gem devs,
I noticed something a little odd the other day. I usually work with square windows, but have been tinkering with *gasp* video aspect ratio's lately.
If I have a 480x480 window with a square of size 4 the square fills the screen. If I have a 480x480 window with a square of size 4 w/ ortho the square fills the screen.
If I have a 640x480 window with a square of size 4 the square does not fill the screen If I have a 640x480 window with a square of size 4 w/ ortho the square does fill the screen
In other words is using ortho it seems that the object is streched to fill the whole window, so if a square is 4x4 it will actually fill a screen that is non-square, distorting the square..
This may just be a reault of how ortho works?
I use ortho in an abstraction to make 2D layering easier, but it does not work so well with non-square windows due to distortion.
I'm using gemCVS on linux and OSX.
