Hi, First, let me apologize for the missed "send" of this e-mail, HTML + no subject... Everything I hate ! :((( I'm looking for a way of "detecting" the pixel-aspect under a given mode. My first idea was to first detect the monitor's aspect, and then multiply that with (mode's height / mode's width). Alas, couldn't find any way to retrieve that monitor's aspect. I need that information to adapt cameras field of views between different (yet well-known) resolutions like 1280x1024, which is absolutely not a square pixel on a 4:3 monitor, and 800x600, which is perfectly square. And i will flame anyone answering difference is not visible ! :))) It becomes extremely important now, with some monitors (especially latest LCDs), allowing to be positioned "vertically" (3:4 monitors), or with weird resolutions (832x702). If anyone could be of a help on that, i would really appreciate ! Nicolas Romantzoff |
