<pre>Hello,
I noticed the scale option in the weston.ini manpage:
<a href="http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/weston.ini.5.html">http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/weston.ini.5.html</a>
and googled a bit on it and found the following links:
<a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2013-May/009368.html">https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2013-May/009368.html</a>
<a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-August/016845.html">https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-August/016845.html</a>
<a href="http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM3NzM">http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM3NzM</a>
But there does not seem to be any explanation on how exactly the scale option
works in layman's terms.
What exactly does it do?
Does it upscale the image via nearest neighbor filtering?
And why does the manpage says one should use "a value of 2 for outputs with
high resolution"? Why not a value of 3?
I just want to understand how exactly the scale option works and what it does.
Could anyone explain this and update the manpage please?
Regards</pre>
