Hi guys,
This may sound crazy, but I have to do a presentation with a stretched
output.
The thing is, I have a laptop with a normal screen, and it'll be plugged to
a very big wide screen monitor so that people can see the slides on the
big screen. I have to look at my laptop and present for the people, so
what I'm thinking is make a stretched output on my 4:3 screen which
looks very narrowed and then the effect on the screen will be just as
normal.
Is there an easy option for this?

Best Regards
Chen

That won't go well. The projector is as stupid as it could be. It will honestly send what's shown on my laptop to the screen only stretch it to a special ratio. If I make a wide screen version. It will be a wide version on my laptop with the header and footer cut, I mean it won't fill my laptop screen. Then the projector will produce a wide version on a wide ratio. It'll be 256:100 rather than 16:10. Still not what I wanted. > > Wolfgang > > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to > the Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / > http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net > archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Can't you set the same resolution on your laptop as the projector has, the layout on your laptop is then deformed but the screen version is correct.

Well, that's a good idea. But actually, that's not really "my" laptop so I can't test it right now.
