If the aim is to get a visually regular hexagon: absolutely. And not just "should" it do so: it does, to get the arrows to point into 45 degree directions. > are. (Displaying 10x the tic values would be nicer.) Coincidentally, that's precisely what the filled hexagon does... Which provides a rather strong argument to keep it exactly as it is. > But from what I see all terminals have v_tic equal to h_tic (on my > monitor) including x11. Yes. Because your monitor, and all the other terminals you tested (in the size you did test them) have a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio in terminal coordinates, i.e. the ratio term->x_max/term->y_max matches the physical edge ratio of your on-screen display. |
