v1.2116 - Tool Path View blurry

[cseyler]

Hi,

I've just installer the latest beta, and the first thing I noticed is the new Tool Path View rendering system produce a kind of ugly picture compared to the 1.2115 version.
With multi-sampled value set 0, it is barely unreadable, and increasing the multi-sampled value just add a nasty blur. It looks like the framebuffer size is not set correctly, or something like that

Here is a screenshot from the previous 1.2115 version

v1.2115

Here the new version with MSample=0

v1.2116 MS 0

And here, the new version with MSample=4

v1.2116 MS 4

The framebuffer size is set correctly as it works perfectly on our computers.
If you will post the g-code file then I will load it on my computer to 1.2116 and will post a printscreen.
I will check the code to see if I find anything.

BTW, can you try it on a different computer?
Also can you tell me your video card type number?

I'm running on a Windows 11 computer with a nvidia quadro T1000
When a speak about wrong frame buffer settings, the look of the view is really depending on the zoom level : the view seems "scaled" instead of redrawn with a new size.

For exemple in "windowed mode", the previous version kept a correct aspect ratio whatever the size of the window. In this latest release, the view is stretched

Yes, I confirm the aspect ratio issue when in Windowed mode and the window is resized, will try to fix this in the next release.
The blurry issue I'm idealess yet, will try to check the code later.
Meanwhile if you can check and compare it on another computer?

The stretching issue could cause my blurry effect : I'm using an ultra-wide screen (3840x1600) And I suspect the stretch is the cause.
I can clearly see "magnified pixels" instead having lines with anti-aliasing effect

I've also checked on another computer (windows 10 Intel UHD Graphics 630)

Here are 2 screenshots : the first is taken when the application in on the laptop screen (1920x1080) and the second, when I connect the laptop on my ultrawide screen

ultrawide

So, I got similar effect

OK, thank you for the informations, I will check it in a few days.

BTW, is the toolpath not blurry when in windowed mode with original window size?

BTW, is the toolpath not blurry when in windowed mode with original window size?

Maybe a bit better (but it could be due to the smaller screen), but it is far from "crispier" and readable compared to the previous version

OK, thank you for the infos, I will check it out later and will try to fix it asap.
I might ask you for testing on your computers when we will have some possible solution.

[cseyler]

Of course, I will test. Feel free to send me "test release" by PM if you want.
