True, but thats not what i meant... all commands from BIS seem to begin with a small letter, but with SafeZoneX etc.. it seems they deviated from this 'tradition'. Following that 'tradition' it would be '''s'''afeZoneX not '''S'''afeZoneX ...

Ok, good to know, of course nothing breaks (well except the 'flow' of the commands list). I just realized them when i added the 'see also' wiki links to those commands, they didnt work first... i used lowercase firstletter due to being used to that for years now, its 'different' to see those commands being written with uppercase firstletter in the list though. :) I just thought there is a 'design rule' somewhere, maybe my memory plays tricks, but wasnt there a stub somewhere about it? Maybe im too anal about it, but as Graphics Designer i would get into trouble if i delivered copy with it since my customer would regard those as 'typos'. So i guess its ok then. :) Thanks for clarifying. --[[User:PhilippRauch|PhilippRauch]] 11:31, 10 June 2009 (CEST)

Not so simple! take a 51cm/29cm screen. That should mean a "full screen ratio" of 1.7586. Now hint SafezoneW/safezoneH.. answer is 1.33333. No problem to place a control with safezone coordinate but things turn hard if you intend to display a perfect circle (i.e. in HUD) for all resolution/ratio available in Arma. Mission impossible?

Shouldnt it be safeZone for all commands regarding that? I.e. safeZoneX, safeZoneY, safeZoneW, safeZoneH ?? So it correlates with BIS other naming of commands? --PhilippRauch 00:47, 10 June 2009 (CEST)

SafeZone is the area. SafeZoneX and the orther are functions to return the size of this area for me. --HeliJunkie 21:04, 9 June 2009 (CEST)
