Resizing the correct way

[Anders]

Then all you need to do is to set the iOS Display property to "Fit inside and adjust window size" and resize your frame so that it is at least 768x1363 in size.
The reason for the 1363 size is because that will be the size the the "Fit inside and adjust window size" will resize your window to after it has scaled it.

Here is how I calculated it:
The iPhone 5 height/width (aspect) ratio is 1136/640 = 1.775
For to turn the iPad 768x1024 resolution into a size that has the same aspect ratio while keeping the width constant I have to enlarge the height to the following value: 768 * 1.775 = 1363


With only the "Fit inside and adjust window size" and the enlarged frame size you should be all set for a cross-device compatible game.

Hmm. I will try that again... for some reason I remember this from another thread where someone was describing this with
the Sonic Picture.. but it did not work..
But let me check.

[Perry]

yeah... the width is fine, but the height is not right..
it has a whole black bar to the top part.

I made it 768 x 1363 and it's filling up the Iphone 4 in the emulator and for the ipad it had a whole black bar.

Did it also on my Ipad Air device, and also a black bar at the top.
like the 768 one is not working..

Can you send me a sample MFA and a zipped XCode project that shows this?
I cannot reproduce.

Here is the file + Zip

I have an app that is set to 640 x 960
What I want it to do is either stretch in the same ratio for the device
or i've got a large background - i want it to just display more of the background if that makes sense?
Which is tbe best background option to make it work. I can only test it on an ipad 2 and possibly an iphone4 later but not 100%.
Thanks

From what I understand you should also use 'Fit inside and adjust window size'.

Just be sure to have the frame be large enough. Also only make the frame size larger. Let the window size in your application properties stay the same.

I just PM'd you..
Cause now I am stuck with all the items outside the 768x1024 area.
they don't show up anymore

[assentec]

Can I send you the file just to double check before i upload the binary tonight?

What size should the frame be set to to allow for all
Thanks

Ok i've sent canvas size to 768 x 1024 and extended the background to that part, but the main app is in the top left now. How do I center it around the content?
