[SOLVED] DirectButton images

@drwr

The explanation it gives for -p when you use egg-texture-cards -h is more than a little confusing

Yup

@drwr

The reason for this strange convention has to do with the default -g value, which defines a box 1 unit square, and the default range of render2d in -1 … 1, which defines a range 2 units on a side, and the default setting for aspect2d which retains the same y size as render2d but not the same x size.

Sorry I don’t understand this.
Does this mean for resizeable windows the button will change its size compared to other cards and 3d objects? (doesn’t look like it)
Oh and this question is solved, thanks

No, it’s just that you need to assume a particular window size in order to define a card that will be a particular pixel size. 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. If you resize the window, then the card’s appearance onscreen will grow and shrink correspondingly (along with everything else in the window), and it will no longer be pixel-perfect, though it will still have the right aspect ratio.

Yeah, now that makes sence
I tried to add “direct-gui-edit” line to the new 1.7 version, but again when I press the middle mouse button, the program freezes for a second and nothing happens
