- Function
Return the pixel aspect ratio.
- Header
- Declaration
unsigned tgi_getaspectratio (void);- Description
The function returns the pixel aspect ratio for the current driver and display as an 8.8 fixed point value. It may be used to correct geometric shapes so they look correct on the display. As an example, a circle with a radius of 100 pixels may look elliptic on some driver/display combinations if the aspect ratio is not 1.00.
- Limits
- The aspect ratio is encoded in the TGI driver which assumes a "standard" monitor for the given platform. The aspect ratio may be wrong if another monitor is used.
- No TGI function will use the aspect ratio. It is up to the programmer to make use of it.
- The tgi_setaspectratio function can be used to change the aspect ratio for a loaded driver. The value is not reset by tgi_init, so if a driver is linked statically to an application, switching into and out of graphics mode will not restore the original aspect ratio.
