Dear all,
rpict with -vh 25.8083 -vv 18.6685 -x 512 -y 512 will create an image of
367x512 pixels.
If I calculate the y dimension by hand, I get:
y/18.6685 = 512/25.8083
-> y = 370.3565132
This number can be rounded up or down to the nearest integer, but how can
it be rounded to 367?
I started doing these hand calculation when I noticed that an image
generated with xwrays|rtrace had a couple of extra lines down the bottom
of it which are outside of the region specified in the view file (for a
parallel view, though).
Cheers
Axel
Hi Axel,
For perspective views, the actual relation for image dimensions involves the tangents of the view angles, not the angles themselves. The relation is:
tan(vh)/tan(vv) = x/y
