[Resolved] Can't get retina graphics to appear anywhere!

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

(I’m talking new iPad only here.)

Config.lua:

[code]application = {

content = {
width = 768,
height = 1024,
scale = “letterbox”,

imageSuffix = {
["@2x"] = 2,
},

}
[/code]

Two files:

background.png (1024x768)
background@2x.png (2048x1536)

I’ve added squiggly lines to background@2x.png so I’ll know for certain when I’m looking at that version.

Windows and Mac Corona simulator set for iPad Retina. Neither simulator ever shows the @2x version of the picture… just the smaller one.

Compiled and put on new iPad… same results. It never shows the @2x version.

What am I missing?

Thanks…

What code are you using to display the graphic?

#3

backgroundimage = display.newImage("background.png") backgroundimage:setReferencePoint(display.TopLeftReferencePoint)

Thanks!

Doh!

“Note: display.newImageRect should be used to load images when Dynamic Scaling is enabled, instead of display.newImage.”

Never mind!

Yeah, I was going to send you this code to use instead but you probably already have it.

[lua]backgroundimage = display.newImageRect(“background.png”,768,1024)
backgroundimage:setReferencePoint(display.TopLeftReferencePoint)
backgroundimage.x = 0; backgroundimage.y = 0[/lua]

Actually, that’s very helpful as I was about to start looking around the forums for examples of what exactly I’m supposed to do! Thank you!

One comment though… in order to get your example to work I had to switch the 768 and the 1024. Now it works perfectly and I’m seeing the retina graphics. Thanks!

You’re welcome. My code was for portrait mode, you must be using landscape.

Ah, I was wondering about that! My game is landscape only so I’ve had no experience with portrait yet.

Thanks again!
