Re: Relating Pixel and Model Space

Hello Jon,

I certainly agree it is ugly and not very helpful. Why do you think I
should play around with the aspect ratio m_aspect. Should this not be
set to the aspect ratio of ones OpenGL viewport (window)? Thus it is
variable, but controlled by the window size. Similarily, I am actually
interested in loading in different maps so the mapAspect is variable,
but again not something I can play with. I would think the only free
variable here is the camera's Z position and that there should be some
*simple* formula to calculate it. I can't imagine other people haven't
wanted to do this and am surprised someone has just jumped in with a
straight forward solution.

Cheers,
Donovan

To me that's ugly in the extreme, especially given that you don't know
why it works.

I'd like to see the value of m_aspect. Indeed, I'd start off with it at
1.0 and get to the situation where you get the desired fit in the
y-direction. After that you can adjust it (m_aspect) appropriately and
then think about why the value that works is successful.

Try a simple trace (print out values using printf or cout).

Best regards,

Jon C.
