Problem with _Resize
#4
The problem here, is you're giving it an impossible task to try and sort out and it's exploding on you.

_RESIZE ON, _SMOOTH and _RESIZE ON, _STRETCH tries to do one important thing for you -- it tries to maintain your aspect ratio.

Start with a 600x400 screen, drag it to where it's twice as wide, and it becomes a 1200x 800 screen.  It maintains that 3:2 aspect ratio for you.

So in this case, you're starting with a screen which is 1000 x 500, so it has a 2:1 aspect ratio.

Then you tell it to _RESIZE ON, _SMOOTH, which means it's going to try and maintain that 2:1 ratio.

Then you tell it to create a 1400x965 screen...   Which is anything BUT a 2:1 aspect ratio screen.

How exactly is it supposed to stretch your 1000x500 screen, and maintain a 2:1 aspect ratio, and put it on a 1400x965 screen?  It can't do it, and it just more-or-less explodes trying.   


I think the only thing you can do in a case like this is to turn _RESIZE OFF, make the screen the size you want it to be, and then turn _RESIZE ON, _SMOOTH afterwards.

Code: (Select All)
$Resize:On

'_Resize Off
MenuScreen& = _NewImage(1000, 500, 32)
MainScreen& = _NewImage(1400, 965, 32)

start:
_Resize Off: _Delay .25 'turn off resizing when manually setting a display,  give time for setting to change
Screen MenuScreen&
_Delay .25: _Resize On , _Smooth 'turn back on, after time has passed and screen has changed size
_ScreenMove 200, 50
_ScreenMove 175, 10
Cls
Print "smaller screen"
wfk

_Resize Off: _Delay .25 'turn off resizing when manually setting a display,  give time for setting to change
Screen MainScreen&
_Delay .25: _Resize On , _Smooth 'turn back on, after time has passed and screen has changed size
w# = _Width
h# = _Height
Cls
Print "larger screen as "; w#; " x "; h#
wfk
GoTo start


Sub wfk '  wfk=wait for key
    i$ = ""
    While i$ = ""
        i$ = InKey$
    Wend
    If i$ = Chr$(27) Then System
End Sub


Exactly what do you envision happening here?  You can't stretch a 2:1 screen and keep the same aspect ratio on a 7:5 (estimated) screen.  Not without skewing and scaling and making something go funky somewhere along the way.
