Calculating Image Dimensions
|
||||
|
||||
The width of Tux Paint's canvas is simply the width of
|
||||
the window (e.g., 640, 800 or 1024 pixels), minus 192.
|
||||
|
||||
Calculating the height of Tux Paint's canvas requires
|
||||
multiple steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Take the height of the window (e.g, 480, 600 or
|
||||
768 pixels) and subtract 144
|
||||
2. Take the result of Step 1 and divide it by 48
|
||||
3. Take the result of Step 2 and round it down
|
||||
(e.g., 9.5 becomes simply 9)
|
||||
4. Take the result of Step 3 and multiply it by 48
|
||||
5. Finally, take the result of Step 4 and add 40
|
||||
|
||||
Example: Tux Paint running at fullscreen on a 1440x900
|
||||
display.
|
||||
|
||||
* The canvas width is simply 1440 - 192, or 1248.
|
||||
* The canvas height is calculated as:
|
||||
|
||||
1. 900 - 144, or 756
|
||||
2. 756 / 48, or 15.75
|
||||
3. 15.75 rounded down, or 15
|
||||
4. 15 * 48, or 720
|
||||
5. 720 + 40, or 760
|
||||
|
||||
So the canvas within a 1440x900 Tux Paint window is
|
||||
1248x760.
