Big borders around alphanumerics
When using the punch feature of b2s, the alphanumeric displays punch out a bigger area than needed. The only way around this is to make the alphanumerics much smaller + doesn't look great. Would it be possible to reduce the size of the borders around them? Thank you
I've done so in my branch of Freezy's repository. I think the best would be to allow the properties LinePaddingPercentage and OuterPaddingPercentage to be set in the configuration editor. With my meager skills :) I will work on this and perhaps propose a merge at some later date. For now, you are welcome to pull my source for RasterizeDimensions.cs and recompile.
Sorry, it was a bit presumptuous of me to have you recompile the source. Go [here] and download the zip file. Unzip and save the three binaries in the appropriate folder. Be sure to backup first.
@freezy I wish I could say I've done something other than change the hard-coded values for padding. It's all of about two lines of code. If you feel the new values are better, I would be happy to push. It has remained useful to me.
I am working on it now, will keep you posted on progress.
Cheers!

Maybe make it configurable? That would be the best option.

I would really appreciate the configurability. I'd also suggest, like the original comment, that the default border/padding around the alphanumerics becomes a lot smaller as the size of the visible part of the display is almost universal across machines. The current amount of padding is way too big.
I’m working on making it configurable, but my programming skills are meager. My branch hard coded it to 4% padding vs the default 20%.

Hi Freeze,
I have completed the initial work on the capability to specify and edit the line and outer padding for alphanumeric displays. Would you care to test the DMDDevice64.dll before I try to commit to your main branch?
