Group: Forum Members Posts: 49, Visits: 123	Hi, I'm trying to display a background image across the entire screen that the participant will see. I'm trying to learn about the canvasaspectratio, but I think I'm not using it right or something. My monitor resolution is 3840x2160 so I set the default to 16:9 <defaults> / canvasaspectratio = (16,9) / canvassize = (100%, 100%) </defaults> Then I set the background image (attached) like this: <picture background> /items= ("000_BG03_LAVENDER_border.png") / halign = left / valign = top /position = (0%, 0%) /size = (100%, 100%) </picture> But as you see in the attached image, it leaves quite a bit of territory on the right side of the screen unused.

Not sure what to do about that.. You can attach files per +Insert -> Add File... That said, the picture will cover the entire screen, if and only if the image file's aspect ratio is 16:9. Inquisit will not distort an image's inherent aspect ratio.

That makes sense, but it does make cross-device compatibility more difficult.

That makes sense, but it does make cross-device compatibility more difficult. Not really if you're declaring a 16:9 ratio per your /canvasaspectratio. On a screen that isn't 16:9 then, the script will not use the entire screen anyway, but only a 16:9 subsection (the canvas).

If it doesn't change the inherent aspect ratio, how does it handle conflicting percentages in the size attribute? If an image is naturally 16:9 but I specify percentages of 30%, 15%, how does it resolve that?

If an image is naturally 16:9 but I specify percentages of 30%, 15%, how does it resolve that? It takes the smaller specified value (here: 15%) and sizes that dimension accordingly. The other dimension is whatever the image's aspect ratio dictates.
