Title: Finding Location On The X And Y Grid
Post by: koldfuzion on July 08, 2004, 03:03:00 PM

belive it or not.. MS Paint is excellent for this .  Just choose the rectangle crop tool watch the status bar.  it will give you the left, top, width, height measurements.

edit: of course, create a 640x480 pixel image first.. or open your own background (preferred obviously)

I'm haveing troublee getting MXM skinner to ploting boxs in the correct location on my skin, so I'm going to do it by hand. Is there some kind of grid/map I can go by to see all the points on the X and Y grid? Thanks, -Dman

If the bg pic is a png, you can fix it by manually setting stretch to 'false' in the skin xml for the bg.

<LayoutElement Type="Image" Source="bgpicorwhatever">
...
<Scaling X="False" Y="False" />
...
</LayoutElement >
