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.

i guess it is a bug.
the solution is quite simple and i submitted one to the cvs right now.
anyhow, i think it might break a lot of things. therefore i have added a message "compat" for compatibility with the old behaviour. the default is "1" (so you still have the distortion), but feel free to set it to 0.
probably we should post this to the pd-list too, just to get an idea how many patches would be broken if we changed the default to non-compatible mode.
and i fixed a bug withthe [model] object crashing when no model was loaded (i just noticed when i opened the 02.advanced/02.ortho.pd for testing)
