<i>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Tue, 24 Dec 1996 12:11:39 +0000 (GMT), Tristan Tarrant &lt;<a href="mailto:tst@orthanc.isengard.com.galactica.it">tst@orthanc.isengard.com.galactica.it</a>&gt; said:</i><br>
<p>
Tristan&gt; On scanners with transparency adapters (mine at least) the<br>
Tristan&gt; scan area is reduced slightly. Should the preview window<br>
Tristan&gt; act as if it were zoomed in to the maximum possible size,<br>
Tristan&gt; or should there be a black border around the edge ?<br>
<p>
Hmmh, there really is no reliable way for a frontend to tell how big<br>
the border is. All you'd get is x/y coordinates with ranges that<br>
don't start at zero. E.g., without border, you might get:<br>
<p>
tl-x: 0..200mm<br>
tl-y: 0..280mm<br>
<p>
whereas with the transparency adapeter installed, you might get this<br>
(the numbers are made up---I don't have a transparency adapeter<br>
myself):<br>
<p>
tl-x: 50..150mm<br>
tl-y: 50..230mm<br>
<p>
Of course, you _could_ guess that the border is symmetric, but it<br>
seems to me it would be just as fine to present the "zoomed" preview<br>
area. As long as the rulers indicate that the top-left corner is not<br>
at 0/0, I think this would work fine.<br>
<p>
Tristan&gt; Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all !!!<br>
<p>
Thanks &amp; same to you!<br>
