Hi Edge,

For Symbian 9.1 S60, I know the graphics can be enlarged or reduced separately using the Blt(). I have the graphic set for 176x208 devices, can I enlarge the hole screen to fit the resolution 352x416?

Thanks

Hi Edge,

As value equals to 65536 will no scale, what should be the value if I want to double size the image?

Hi Patrick,

Just multiply 65536 * 2 to double size the image. 65536 / 2 will half its size.

Please note that in Blt(), x/y position 0,0 is the center of the screen.

Hi Edge,

After using Blt() to scale the image, the program ran slowly, what is the problem?

Thanks

Hi Patrick,

Blt() is an expensive operation, especially when scaling a whole buffer.

A better solution might be to scale your internal surfaces (sprite and tilesheets, title screens, etc.) when loading them. You may also create a different graphics resource pack with upscaled graphics.

Working with native high-resolution graphics is faster than doing an upscale at the end of OnNextFrame().

Hi Edge,

How can I scale the internal surfaces when loading?
I found the API of Symbian for zooming (TZoomfactor and MGraphicsDeviceMap), does Edge support this API? If yes, is there any reference or example?

Thanks
