How i can increase perPixelTargetFind area in Fabricjs, because on ipad to hard target rect width 6-10 strokeWidth? But if increase area by 10 invisible pixels..what will be nice
Well, you have to increase the padding of the object too.
So targetFindTolerance work when you are inside the natural bounding box.
Outside the bounding box the perPixelTarget will not work.
So adding some tolerance will give you more target area from the inside of the rectangle but not from the outside.
Increasing the padding will give you bigger bounding box and so the ability of targetFindTolerance to work inside and outside the stroke.
"targetFindTolerance" option. Read docs before ask in SO =)

I am aware that I can call IDWriteTextLayout::GetMetrics, but this gives me the boundaries of the text including space above and below the text for the ascender and descender, etc. However, what I'm looking for is the exact amount of space that the text actually takes up. How would I obtain or calculate this bounding box?
You should use GetMetrics() together with GetOverhangMetrics(), subtracting overhang metrics from layout metrics will give you ink rectangle.
I am new in godot engine and I am trying to make mobile game (portrait mode only). I would like to make background image fit screen size. How do I do that? Do i have to import images with specific sizes and implement them all for various screens? If I import image to big, it will just cut out parts that don't fit screen.
Also, while developing, which width and height values should I use for these purposes?
With Godot 3, I am able to set size and position of sprite / other UI elements using script. I am not using the stretch mode for display window.
Here is how you can easily make the sprite to match viewport size -
var viewportWidth = get_viewport().size.x
var viewportHeight = get_viewport().size.y
var scale = viewportWidth / $Sprite.texture.get_size().x
# Optional: Center the sprite, required only if the sprite's Offset>Centered checkbox is set
$Sprite.set_position(Vector2(viewportWidth/2, viewportHeight/2))
# Set same scale value horizontally/vertically to maintain aspect ratio
# If however you don't want to maintain aspect ratio, simply set different
# scale along x and y
$Sprite.set_scale(Vector2(scale, scale))
Also for targeting mobile devices I would suggest importing a PNG of size 1080x1920 (you said portrait).
Working with different screen sizes is always a bit complicated. Especially for mobile games due to the different screen sizes, resolutions and aspect ratios.
The easiest way I can think of, is scaling of the viewport. Keep in mind that your root node is always a viewport. In Godot you can stretch the viewport in the project settings (you have to enable the stretch mode option). You can find a nice little tutorial here.
However, viewport stretching might result in an image distortion or black bars at the edges.
Another elegant approach would be to create an image that is larger than you viewport and just define an area that has to be shown on every device no matter whats the resolution. Here is someone showing what I am meaning.
I can't really answer your second question about the optimal width and height but I would look for the most typical mobile phone resolutions and ratios and go with that settings. In the end you probably should start with using the width and height ratio of the phone you want to use for testing and debugging.
Hope that helps.
<------This is an image I made in Photoshop...
It's basically a 160 x 160 box of white with a texture applied.
Below is what it looks like with "background-repeat" in the CSS. I was hoping it'd balance out. Is there a certain percentage the textile has to be at, or size of the original box? For it to be a perfect repeatable texture?
Im trying to do this myself, since I cant find grid patterns that fit the style.
Question: Whats the trick on making textures in Photoshop, that appear as balanced whole backgrounds when repeated?
If you look at the below image where it's in effect, on the very basic start of what Im working on, you can notice it doesnt quite fit together.
Any and all help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If you want that background for a webpage is better the use of repeating-linear-gradient. It is very easy of implement, less assets to download and it is supported by major browsers.
Look in the top left corner of your image. You'll note that the dark line starts at roughly 4-5 pixels from the top. Then look at the top right corner, and you'll note that the top line starts at just perhaps 2px from the top.
When this image is repeated twice side by side, there will be a disconnect. Just crop the image and shave off the two or three pixels until your lines connect. Repeat by cropping the bottom of the image for vertical alignment.
If you want to do this experimentally, increase the size of your canvas, and copy the pattern into a new 160x160 layer. Place them side by side, and then move the layers one pixel at a time so that they overlap. Where the overlap aligns is where you should crop the image.
My graphics are looking blurry unless I add or subtract a half pixel to the Y coordinate.
I know this is a symptom that usually happens when the coordinates are set to sub-pixel values. Which leads me to believe one of my views must be off or something.
But I inspected the window, view controller and subviews, and I don't see any origins or centers with sub-pixel values.
I am stumped, any ideas?
See if somewhere you are using the center property of a view. If you assign that to other subviews, depending on their sizes they may position themselves in half pixel values.
Also, if you are using code to generate the UI I would suggest using https://github.com/domesticcatsoftware/DCIntrospect. This tools allows you in the simulator to look at all the geometry of visible widgets. Half pixel views are highlighted in red vs blue for integer coordinates. It helps a lot.
I'm working on a UI which needs to work in different aspect ratios, 16:9, 16:10, 4:3
The idea is conceptually simple: Everything is centered to the screen in a rough 4:3 area and anything outside this portion of screen has basic artwork, so something like this:
(not drawn to scale)
Where the pink area represents whre all the UI objects are positioned and the blue area is just background and effects.
The trick is in usability, if I pass in coordinates (0,0) in a 4:3 aspect ratio environment (0,0) would be the top left of the screen. However if I'm in a 16:9 environment (0,0) needs to get renormalized based on the new aspect ratio for it to be in the appropriate place. So my question is: How can I achieve this?
edit: for clarification this is basically for a UI system and while I listed the ratios above as 4:3, 16:9, 16:10 it should be able to dynamically adjust values for whatever aspect ratio it is set to.
edit 2: Just to add more details to the situation: When the positions fo rsetting are passed in they are passed in as a % of the screens current widht height, so basically setting position x would be: [pos x as portion of screen]*SCREEN_WIDTH where screen width is the width of the current screen itself.
The obvious answer seems to be an offset. Since 4x3 is 16x9, it appears you want a 16x9 screen to have 2x9 bands to the left and the right. Hence, the X offset should be (2/16) * width.
For 16x10 screens, the factor is slightly more complicated: 4x3 is 13.33x10, so you have edges of width 1.67, and the X offset should be (1.67/16) * width = (5/48)* width.
So ... Can't you just come up with an abstraction layer, that hides the differences? One idea could be to model a "border" around the active area, that gets added. For 4:3 displays, set the border size to 0 to make the active area cover the full screen.
