ViewScaler

This plugin came as a need to handle the views on different screen sizes when using multiple platforms: onPC, Compact(XT) or Lite/Full consoles.

---

Usage

When called, select the display to scale on the UI popup.

Plugin "ViewScaler"

Arguments:

• /Screen X: Run directly on specified display (optional, does not trigger the UI)

Examples:

• Run on Display 3

  Plugin "ViewScaler" "/Screen 3"

Notes

Note

A display’s content is not linked to the Views DataPool object which might have been called previously. This plugin will only affect the display’s current content, not the original View object.

Note

This plugin does not affect the display width, height or scale settings. It rearranges the position and size of the widgets currently visible on screen.
