Mosaic not Square?

[Guest Yachtsman1]

I'm preparing the credits for a planned show & want to use the PTE mosaic transition, I set the parameters equally (18x18 parts) but the mosaic boxes are rectangular not square as I would expect?

You cut the view, which is a rectangle : the height by 18 and the lenght also by 18. You cann't have square

Try 27 and 18 for a 3:2 aspect ratio

Hi Jean

I appreciate that, but in my opinion when the figures are the same the mosaic should be square. Incidentally I use 16-9 AR.

I tried changing the settings to 16 & 9 instead of 18 & 18 as my original, & yes the rectangles are now squares, which may mean something in computer speak, but in my logic, my first choice should have been square. I can't find anything in the on-line help to that effect, so to prevent further confusion maybe a note should be added to that transition?

Having a thorough knowledge of Aspect Ratio also helps?

4x3 AR = 4 squares by 3 squares

3x2 AR = 3 squares by 2 squares

5x4 AR = 5 squares by 4 squares

Etc

....and multiples thereof.......

...but in my logic, my first choice should have been square.

Those input fields are described as "Parts". Why does that infer that the result will be a square tile? You are specifying that there will be 18 tiles along each row and 18 rows of tiles. Unless your aspect ratio is 1:1 the resultant tiles will always be rectangualr. It is simple mathematics and geometry.

Not everyone is as clever as you Peter.
