Title: Feature request: aspect ratio options for images in 3d visualisations
Post by: Rob L on October 22, 2008, 05:27:54 pm
Currently, the 3d visualisations that display images (Image Cube and Slideshow) stretch the images to make them fit the 3d object that's displaying them, which is far from ideal unless all your images happen to be the right aspect ratio.

It would be great if we could have the following options:
- stretch to fit (i.e. what we have now)
- crop (i.e. chop off top and bottom or sides)
- display bars to fill the aspect

This is what you'd normally get with any slideshow application, and it's what would get me actually using these visualisations :-)

I realise the fact that they're textures on 3d objects makes it a bit more complicated, but seems worth looking at...
