You are a sad Lot ! I am in IT and would not know my screen size from my ...

But I will tell you that I would always know my pitch size, engine size and so on, this is a boating forum , is it not ?

Nah mate

I use 1280 x 1024 and your wheel looks round to me: could it be that it's rugby ball shaped in real life?

Re: Nah mate

no.....but it shouldnt look as round as it does ....does that get round the problem?

You mean you adapted it from an Allegro?

Re: Nah Mate

ho ho ho....
Seriously, try setting your screen to 1024 x 768 and in a drawing programme draw a perfect circle. If you now change your screen to 1280 x 1024 it will look squashed.....
.....it was the allegro wot did it !

Round peg in square hole

Tried it in Corel Draw. 1024 x 768 perfect circle looks like rugby ball, 1280 x 1024 perfect circle. It's a pixel thing - Sony 18in TFT has 5:4 width/height ratio.

Confirms you used an Allegro wheel, cheapskate!

Re: Round peg in square hole

Course its a bloody pixel thing....thats wot we're talking abart init?
Most monitors are 4:3 so wot I said is right. Your monitor is 5:4 so what I said is also right....just t'other way round.........dont bother going any further with this...I was just pointing out that some screen setting ratios are different to others. It can actually be quite confusing...I was with some design people yesterday who couldnt understand why scanned circles were coming up squashed on screen and they kept trying to correct them................
