Detect display size

I've spotted a strangeness that I don't understand.

I use the following function to detect if the LCD, EVF or HDMI is being used on my G5X:

Code: [Select]
function check_screen()
    if get_gui_screen_width() == 360 and get_gui_screen_height() == 240 then -- using the LCD
        vx = 360
        vy = 240
    elseif get_gui_screen_width() == 480 and get_gui_screen_height() == 270 then -- using the HDMI out
        vx = 480
        vy = 270
    elseif get_gui_screen_width() == 344 and get_gui_screen_height() == 270 then -- using the EVF (at least on a G5X)
        vx = 344
        vy = 270
    end
end

For the LCD and HDMI output all is OK and if, as I do, draw a black box , eg (0,0) to (vx,20), sure enough I get a black box across the full width, as expected.

However, on the EVF, the box doesn't go to the far right, ie it looks like a gap of around 10-15 pixels (guessing) and this remains the case even if I push VF beyond the screen width of the EVF, ie 344, which reported by the get screen width call.

Any insight?

Cheers

Garry

btw.

344 for the EVF looks wrong to me.

That's a quirk of the G5X.
For some reason the EVF gets clipped at 347 pixels wide when using the XIMR buffer for CHDK.
To keep the width a multiple of 8 I set it to 344.
The full width (of the Canon buffer) is 360 so there is a blank area on the right for the CHDK buffer).


I was unable to find out why this happens or fix it.
