i have a question towards ortho:

i use the ortho.pd from the gem reference and i change the window dimension to non square (lets say 800 600).

without ortho the square looks perfectly square. with ortho the square is distorted in the proportions of the windowsize.

why is that so ?

...well, that's because there's a message not documented in the helpfile ;-P

[compat 0/1< switches the aspect ratio...by default, it's [compat 1<, which means the aspect ratio is 1...if you send [compat 0<, you get an aspect ratio of the window's width/height...

...now to update that help file...
