full screen size?

[ww3s]

Is there a way to get the map to fill the screen when maximized? Mine always has a black space to the right of the map.

I maintain a 2 : 1 aspect ratio (equirectangular projection). When I have time I'll center the map / display it better.

Hi Simon
I find when going full screen that i still have a black space at the bottom

You would have a distorted map if you stretched it to fill in the bottom. It's simple geometry of the map. The Earth in Mercator projection is not 16 by 9.

oh ok, thx Simon

Hey Simon, for that nice new widescreen QHD monitor you just got, maybe you can add a feature to center the fullscreen layout so there isn't a blank black space on the right side of the screen? Would look a lot nicer being centered or maybe even stretched to fill (even if it isn't the original perfect aspect ratio)? Just a little more polish for such a nice Geochron-like alternative you have here.

yea would be nice eh Gregsa
but i think this project has been abandoned ?

Simon has gotten a life. He has a backlog of requests for other stuff he will get to when he eases his DATV work to a nice break point. Switching projects is VERY painful as one ages.

16 by 9 can be achieved with zooming or cropping. Geochron does this by cropping Antarctica and the northern extremes.

Is this project open source? Maybe I could help.. Thank you so much for all your work for this community.
