Hi,
I assume Timo is having the same problem I have. If I change the aspect
ratio, axis labels, wind vectors, and other Shapes are "stretched" out
of shape. This is not acceptable behavior so I am unfortunately stuck
with using a square box. I need to have the ability to set the aspect
ratio without the result being a square stretched to fit.
How hard would it be to implement an aspect ratio that is independent of
the projection matrix? (Am I correct in assuming that the box is defined
by -1 to 1 and the aspect is manipulated by the transformation matrix?)
I envision a box defined by -1 to 1 along one dimension and, say, -2 to
2 in another to provide the desired aspect ratio (2 to 1 in this case).
I'm not familiar with the transformation math enough to know if this
would work.
