I had that issue once in a while but wasn't consistent between working

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anybody had issues with getting the right ViewPort size

We found that it would return the size of one of the 4 viewports even
though it would be maximized or resized. 1 or 2 workaround was to either

If I'm not mistaken the cache manager (exporting icecache) would use

There's probably other ways, but I would give that a shot ..
I use plenty of the plug-ins without having python installed and only

Looks like your vector has flipped? Could you just calculate the shortest

I had some trouble as well at some point with this.

I think you could just apply this logic when you output, unless when you
use the cache again it starts flipping again, which would be utterly odd.
Unless you deal with a specific case of super high revolution, from one
