Aspect Ratio Calculator
by leon on December 19, 2008
This is my latest Flash extension panel – Ratio Calc.
We’ve all been there, creating a video player for an application and having the task of working out the aspect ratio, or perhaps resizing images or even just trying to work out the size of the stage. This tool will do it for you with a few simple clicks and it’s free.
The aspect ratio of a shape is the ratio of its longer dimension to its shorter dimension. It may be applied to two characteristic dimensions of a three-dimensional shape, such as the ratio of the longest and shortest axis, or for symmetrical objects that are described by just two measurements, such as the length and diameter of a rod.
The tool will work out dimensions for the following common aspect ratio’s:
- 4:3
- 16:9
- 1600:1200
- 1024:768
- 800:600
- 640:480
- 760:500
The tool is simple to use and has three steps:
- Select the desired ratio and then press next
- Select which dimension you want to find
- Type in the dimension you know.
The tool will then display the dimension, simple as that!
