Re: how to use the scale geometry property of an object?
If you use fullscreenmode they will scale automatically, you don't have to do anything. Everything on the card will resize itself proportionally, which is why it's so easy. The down side is that buttons and other controls will also scale, so they may not be exactly the same size as standard OS conventions, but I live with that. If you are using a custom skin it doesn't matter much. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On June 12, 2018 5:26:13 AM Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode wrote: Hi, I have a full-window image and need dozens of clickable transparent polygons on top of it, shaping details of the image.

I also tested to resize each object in the resizeStack handler by script by the resized proportions of the stack, but this gives very inaccurate results because of rounding the small factors of all the small resize steps, while resizing a stack by dragging the window. Any hint, on how to use the scale property of an object?

Re: how to use the scale geometry property of an object?
Are you talking about the geometry manager? I’ll be talking about that at LCG next month. One thing you’re going to need to handle manually will be the aspect ratio. The GM does not have the ability to do that automatically (that I know of). To prevent accumulation of small errors in your resize handler, you need to use constants for the relative position of objects. So the object is x% from the left/top/right/bottom. That is how the GM works.
