Re: discrepancy between official device metric and LC stack size

As my school Maths teacher said, many years ago: "You go into the house before going up the stairs." Although, to be fair, LiveCode is a bit warped insofar as you "go into the house, and then down into the cellar." Best, Richmond. On 14/2/2018 7:33 am, Nicolas Cueto via use-livecode wrote:

Re: discrepancy between official device metric and LC stack size

​Ok. Took Jacque's advice​, and my stack's working screenRect is 0,24,360,592. Now I'm unsure whether my stack's size is 360 x 592, or (width = item 3 - item) x (height = item 4 -item 2). Thanks. -- Nicolas Cueto On 2 February 2018 at 17:53, J. Landman Gay via use-livecode < use-livecode@list

discrepancy between official device metric and LC stack size

I test my mobile stacks on a Nexus 5, and, in portrait orientation, many bottom pixels are offscreen, even though for width and height I follow exactly the numbers given in dp at the website Device Metrics . Why is it cut off? And how can I avoid this? Is there an LC

Re: Stack Size Changes

A followup to my message on same thread, posted a few minutes ago, in reply to Paul. Further investigation reveals this anomaly: If I make the stack height a little too big, so the stack crops itself when it opens, and I then click on the little glowing green button at the upper left of the LC

Re: Stack Size Changes

here are no scripts that alter card size, group size or stack size. Repeat. Same thing. The change of height is inconsistent, even if I do nothing to the stack except open, change the height, and close. When the stack size gets smaller, I can't scroll to the bottom of the lower group, and the

Re: Stack Size Changes

FYI, on a mac, the the working screenrect gives you the screenrect minus the height of the mac menubar (22). Does this work for you? on preopenstack set the width of this stack to 612 set the height of this stack to 792 set the top of this stack to 110 -- or whatever end preopenstack When

Stack Size Changes

Hi Malte and Bob, The windowBoundingRect is unfamiliar to me. This is probably the gap in my understanding I wanted to fill. I'm reading the dictionary, scratching my head. However, the arithmetic is not quite adding up. Visually, my stack fits on the screen. If I position it carefully by dragg

Re: Stack Size Changes

Hi Tim, If the stack is taller (or wider) than governed by the windowBoundingRect, it will be automatically chopped off. I do not like it... Been that way for ever. :-( Cheers, Malte ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please
