Test Chart

Post by rbytes »

This chart program shows the effect of the #.point() command, which was perfected in version 20.

The only change needed to produce the second chart is to uncomment the first line of code! The lower resolution chart is showing the SPL default resolution, which can also be initiated by #.point(#.dip) Device independent points will typically be larger than pixels.
As soon as you uncomment the line #.point(#.pix), the chart code can access all of the screen pixels. In the case of my CHUWI Hi10 tablet, it makes a huge difference.

Code: Select all

Mr. K, it seems that the stop button is not appearing at the upper right when I use #.scrview(#.normal)

In your code:

Code: Select all

x,y = #.scrsize()
y = #.int(y)
#.scrview(#.normal)
if to put #.scrview before #.scrsize then you will get full screen graph.

Also, I see that on your graph 600 dips is equal to 900 pixels in size. If dips correspond to 96 dpi, then your screen is 900/600*96 = 144 dpi.

Also it may be useful to turn off antialiasing of graphics by using #.aaoff function to make your lines look thinner. By default they are antialiased which gives smoother, but thicker look.

Thanks. More things to try. I think SPL is more fun than a model train set. :)

Yes, #.scrdpi() gives 144 on my CHUWI tablet. My laptop is 96 dpi, so #.point() may not make a difference there.
