Correct! the original Graphic is on the widescreen background and is left
justified at the original aspect ratios, giving additional real estate down the
right hand side........
As to 16:10 or 16:9... in the UK I have only seen 16:9 except on a SMART white
board which originated in the USA (but I haven't been looking really)....were
not gonna have another Letter vs A4 are we :-) just kidding! no responses
needed .......

Basis what I heard several months ago, one piece of information that I can
provide is that when you run their program that will convert your existing
displays to the wide screen format, it will keep the same aspect ratio of
your graphics graphic objects and place them inside the new wide screen
graphic. This mean you will initially have a lot of blank space on one
side or the other. As time permits, then someone can go in and drag the
objects around to fill the space, or they will have additional space to
use for something else.

[foxboro] 23" widescreen monitor announcement - customer request
Just got this today: "I/A Series Customer Notification 2012014abi: 23-Inch
Flat panel Monitor for Unix and Windows"
Evidently, Foxboro is introducing a widescreen monitor, and apparently
(finally!) modifying Foxview to somehow take advantage of it (maybe
someone from Foxboro can comment on this).
OK, so here's my problem. Instead of using an aspect ratio that most power
users of PCs use (16:10 or 1920x1200), they chose one that people who
watch DVDs on their computers use (16:9 or 1920x1080). I know those
"full-HD" ones are more popular, and cheaper, but the fact that I can no
longer get a laptop with a 1920x1200 resolution drives me up a wall**;
that extra vertical screen space is quite helpful in many applications. In
addition, the so-called high-performance HMIs tend to use every available
pixel on a screen, so the more the better.
Now, Foxboro, if you are going to go to the effort of modifying Foxview,
please DO IT RIGHT and make it so the viewable area/workspace is
configurable (asymmetric auto-scaling does NOT count), rather than being
fixed to one or two particular workspace sizes. Maybe that is the plan,
but I didn't glean that from the announcement. At least that way we can
substitute our own 1920x1200, or 2560x1600, or whatever monitors if the
el-cheapo standard 1920x1080s won't do for us. While you're at it, I'd
love it if you would do this with the Alarm Managers as well.
OK, end of my rant. How do the rest of you guys feel about this?
Corey
