Scott: I’m not actually interested in working in hi-res. ON our last project I worked in native size (iphone 6+ …..736H X 414w)
it was enough to learn/know to make all images 1472 X 828 (then we get quality), import those and simple resie them to fit. By on my new LG monitor (huge!) using 14 X 9 as the stack rect (this actually works well with fullscreenmode set to “No Border”) it was very small… So, I got the idea to just “double it!” i.e Scale factor 2 DOUBLE UP: CARD/CANVAS SIZE: 644 X 414 == 1288 X 828 SAFE ZONE 1104 X 724 TOPLEFT (x)92,(y)52 bottom nav bar 48 x 2 = 96 now this stack fits beautifully on my macbook pro.. . and is still big enough on the cinema display. 2X work well because you just double the numbers: iOS wants 44 x 44 icons on the bottom tab bar: Just just bring them in at 88 X 88. And Colin “nailed it” on the safe zone: see this puzzle thing I am working on (for images this time) http://dev.himalayanacademy.com/media/apps/image-puzzles/Image_Puzzles.livecode I have a light blue area in the middle that is the “safeZone” and I tested on iPhone 6+ and iPad and its perfect. The last project was done as “ set the fullscreenmode of this stack to “showAll” But there are caveats with “showAll” —you get perfect fit in only one direction… so it “blindsides” you on what is happening. Using the NoBorder seems to be more transparent… We will see. I will try the scalefactor idea.. but working in 2X has some advantages.

For myself, I'd rather be able to see the entire layout at once, at near the same size it's going to appear when held in-hand on a device, and let LiveCode take care of the scaling. A great tip I learned from a colleague: When working at natural size and you want to zoom into a stack to make some fine adjustment, simply set the scaleFactor of the stack to 2, make the adjustment, and return the scaleFactor back to 1 when finished. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
