That's somewhat intentional. It makes more sense for typical kid drawings. Probably there should be a flag to choose an alternate way of handling things. The 800x600 display has a different-shaped canvas. Rather than filling with white or screwing up the aspect ratio, I smeared the edges. Again, it makes more sense with typical kid drawings. Consider a drawing with green grass, a blue sky, and a house. I first scale the image to be as large as possible without messing up the aspect ratio or being too big. That usually leaves space on the sides, but could leave space at the top and bottom. Then I smear to fill. The sky gets wider, the grass gets wider, and the house grows proportionally. There are fancier ways to do this, involving one or more of: a. wavelets b. vectors (like hq4x scaling, but to extrapolate outward) c. markov modeling Some of these can properly extend a lawn with dandilions! In the reef example, new coral would be generated. If you have trouble believing this, try the resynthesize plug-in for the gimp. If you know the math and can make it run in no more than a few seconds, go right ahead. :-) _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
