uniform coordinates differ in sketchpad and inline

  Hi Tali,

  In old versions of OpenSesame, sketchpads and Canvas objects used different coordinate systems, where 0, 0 referred to the center or the top-left respectively. So that's the behavior that you get when you disable the option uniform coordinates (for backwards compatibility, not because you should disable this for new experiments!). If you enable this option, the coordinates are uniform in the sense that everything uses the 0, 0 == center coordinate system. Does that clear things up?

  Cheers!

  Hi Sebastiaan

  Thanks for responding!

  Maybe I'm missing something, because in the sketchpad it seems that the coordinates depend on the object I tried to include, regardless of whether I defined uniform coordinates or not. More specifically, it seems that shapes or pictures are always uniform, but in text box the coordinates are always non-uniform. In other words, it seems like the options for changing the coordinates system applies only to inlines...

  Best,

  Tali

  That's correct. The option only affects the behavior of inline_script items. The sketchpad has always used 0, 0 for the display center.
