Resolume Forum

I'm playing around with Wire, and I'm confused about how to think about shape sizes. As far as I can tell, height=1 is the height of the screen. So they seem to be scaled relative to the screen. But the width dimension seems awkward. If the screen ratio is 16:9, I end up with height=1 and width=1.78 (which is 16.02). So it seems like I'll always have to deal with a lot decimals when thinking about widths. Or am I going about this all wrong?

Correct, for shapes, 1 is the height.
A patch can have dynamic size in a host like Resolume, so for generative stuff it makes sense to not think in pixels.

You can use the patchInfo node to get the patch aspect ratio for the width:
