Re: [XBoard-devel] XBoard 4.7.3: Full board textures + maximize window

[H.G. Muller]

OK, I pushed a commit now that implements the forcing of exact texture 
scaling to full board size in register with the square pattern. It does 
not do any padding yet when the board image does not contain enough 
squares for the current board format, and I don't want to do that for 
the upcoming release. For now people will simply have to provide a 
bitmap that is large enough.

A -0x0 suffix does exact scaling to the height of the board, ignoring 
the width. I am not sure what else I could do, because I don't want to 
use scalings that change the aspect ratio. I guess this option only 
makes sense for bitmaps that have the same aspect ratio as the board. 
Fortunately most boards are square. Or they must make sure it is wide 
enough.

I tried to suppress anti-aliasing with the size doubling of the XQ board 
in the cut-and-tile method, but this does not seem to have any effect; 
the lines after scaling remain blurred. I therefore made it a bit more 
reluctant to scale up the bitmap; it now only does it when the board 
window exceeds 125% of the bitmap size, as the cutting-and-tiling still 
works acceptable upto those sizes, and I like the result better than 
after size doubling. Of course the size doubling could be delayed 
further by supplying a larger bitmap.
