about pixel-prefect images again...

[Anon]

I thought you said

If you create the texture card with -p 384,384 and then parent it to aspect2d in a 1024x768 window, then the resulting appearance of the card onscreen will be exactly the same size, in onscreen pixels, as the original texture, which means you will see a pixel-perfect rendering of the texture.

We were talking about DirectButtons here
panda3d.org/forums/viewtopic … highlight=

And after that post I did try this and in 1024x768 resolution the images I used seamed to be ‘pixel-prefect’ and the same scale in that resolution as viewed with an image viewer.

The texture image may still be scaled bigger or smaller if it is not a power of 2

I think you also said ‘textures-power-2 up’ will scale it to the next bigger power of 2, so it means no quality loss, right?

you can put:

textures-power-2 up

and then it will automatically scale your texture to the next larger power of 2, instead of to the next smaller, so you do not lose any precision and the resulting texture isn’t blurred.

If you create your DirectButton with geom=myCard, where myCard is the card model you created with egg-texture-cards (not texture=myTexture), it should set its proportions from the card model, which, if you used the -p parameter to egg-texture-cards, should match the proportions of your texture.

Still, if you have set “textures-power-2 none”, and your window and your texture are both indeed 768 pixels tall

My texture isnt 768 pixels tall, its a button texture. Didnt you say:

The “-p” parameter defines the intended size of your window, not the texture pixels.
