Retina Display - Coding to take advantage of
Posted: Wed Nov 18, 2015 3:15 am
From what I understand Apple's retina display is basically more pixels in the same area. So what used to be, lets say an 800X800 pixel image, will look 'soft' on a retina display as it has to fill out that area with 640000 pixels. To see that same area on a retina displays 'retian' the image will need to be 1600X1600 or 2560000 pixels. The key point is the same area but quadruple the pixels.
So my question to PBase - Will there be coding to allow this?
Other web site developers are by, for example taking/uploading two versions of the same file - image.jpeg and imagex2.jpg. Image.jpeg is the 800X8000 (to continue the example) and imagex2.jpeg is 1600X1600. On a standard display one sees the 800 version in the prescribed area (square inches). On a retina display one will see the x2 version; covering the same area. More pixels same area - boom retina!
