Hi All,
{I sent this yesterday & and again earlier today and it never made it through?}
Another issue that is becoming a challenge is managing for monitors that can be
retina or not or large screens or not.
I am currently studying the best way to manage this. I am starting with
allowing the user to set a portrait or landscape size for the 4D SVG area they
will manage within. The user will be able to drag and drop objects onto the
area and move them to specific coordinates. This will be saved as a template
and be able to be reused.
The SVG area on the screen will map to a portrait or landscape form that will
print. (that seems like the easier part).
My current work environment is to plug my Retina MacBook Pro 15” into a BENQ
PD3200Q 32” 3840x2160 4K. I can work in a very large area on this monitor (very
easy on the eyes) and about half or less when it goes back to my MacBook Pro.
And of course then I have to concern myself with laptops and other monitors my
users will work off of windows and Macs.
With an SVG area there are several possibilities. One of them is to scale the
size of the image to scale with the monitor dimensions. Not sure if I like it
(rather manually zoom in/out) but I’ll likely test it as an option. Or I could
define the SVG work area (portrait/landscape) and adjust size but maintain the
same dimensions. Seems like a better option. And who knows at this point …
So is anyone dealing with this issue? How have you managed it? What do your
users prefer?
BTW I am running in 4D v16 r6 and will be moving to v17. It is a standalone
cross platform application.
Appreciate,
John…
