GUI in all resolutions

[Laysiks]

Hello!

How to make GUI where position is center and length,height(not changed) are this same in all resolutions ?

[Callum]

By using guiGetScreenSize and some basic maths.

Any example?

[Callum]

Well if you wanted to make a window appear in the centre of any resolution, let's assume the width of the window is 640, and the height is 480, and we have the variables resX and resY:

x = resX / 2 - (640 / 2)

y = resY / 2 - (480 / 2)

width = 640

height = 480

It's all about logic and maths, not something you can really copy and paste (unless you only ever want the windows in the middle).

I'll tell you a very simple way.

DX

  
local myResX, myResY = 1024, 768 -- This is my resolution. Relace it with yours ^^ 
local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize  ( ) 
sx,sy = sx/ myResX, sy/myResY -- divide it by your resolution and so on you can easily scale  
dxDrawImage ( sx * 100, sy*100, sx*40, sy*40 ) -- RELATIVE SIZES. This will fit on all resolutions ;p 
  

GUI

  
-- For gui set the relative optional arguement to true 
local myResX, myResY = 1024, 768 -- This is my resolution. Relace it with yours ^^ 
  
guiCreateWindow ( 40/myResX, 30/myResY, 300/myResX , 600/myResY, "Relative sized window", true )
