Display and scaling

Seven settings decide how a game looks on screen, and they are easy to get individually right and collectively wrong. This is what each one actually does, and which one to reach for.

The four jobs

A pixel travels from your source art to a physical pixel through four separate decisions. Knowing which setting owns which is most of the work.

job	setting	what it decides
how big the frame is drawn	`width`/`height` on `Application`	the design resolution everything is authored against
how it uses the space	`scale`, `scaleMethod`, `scaleTarget`	fit, fill, stretch, and what it measures to decide
may the factor be fractional	`scaleRounding`	whole device pixels per source pixel, or any factor
how a texture is sampled	`antiAlias`, `textureFilter`	nearest or linear, and the CSS upscale filter

subPixel is a fifth, orthogonal to all of them: it decides whether a renderable may sit on a fractional position WITHIN the frame. syncToDisplay is about the frames in a row rather than one frame: whether motion advances by the same amount on each.

Design resolution

const app = new Application(480, 270, { scale: "auto" });

The game is drawn at 480x270 whatever the window is, and the canvas is scaled to the container. Everything in world coordinates is in those units. This is the usual arrangement: author once, scale to whatever you are given.

`scale` and `scaleMethod`

scale: "auto" turns on automatic scaling; a number is a fixed multiplier and scaleMethod is then ignored.

scaleMethod decides how the available space is used:

"fit" keeps the design resolution and the aspect ratio, scaling to the largest factor that fits. Leftover space becomes margin. This is the one to use when the game is authored for a fixed frame.
"fill-min" / "fill-max" keep the aspect ratio but RESIZE the renderer, so the design resolution changes with the window and the game sees more or less of the world.
"flex", "flex-width", "flex-height" resize the renderer on one or both axes.
"stretch" scales each axis independently, so the aspect ratio is not preserved and circles become ovals.
"manual" does nothing automatic.

The distinction that matters: fit scales a fixed frame; everything else changes how much of the world is visible. A game whose layout assumes a known frame wants fit.

`scaleTarget`: what gets measured

Automatic scaling measures the parent of the element the canvas is mounted in, not the element itself. If that grandparent is not the box you meant, the canvas is sized wrongly, and the failure is quiet.

The case that bites: a canvas container that is position: fixed or absolute contributes no height to its parent, so the parent measures only whatever else is in it. If that parent is <body>, the engine falls back to the window size and the canvas ends up larger than the box it lives in, cropped by whatever sits above it.

new Application(1024, 576, {
	parent: "screen",
	scale: "auto",
	// measure THIS, rather than guessing from the DOM shape
	scaleTarget: document.getElementById("stage"),
});

Either name the element with scaleTarget, or give the canvas container a parent whose box is the area you want filled. If the canvas is cropped or overflows on resize, this is the first thing to check.

`scaleRounding`: whole device pixels

new Application(480, 270, {
	scale: "auto",
	scaleMethod: "fit",
	scaleRounding: "integer",   // default "fractional"
});

"fractional" fills the container exactly, at whatever factor that takes. A 480 wide design in a 1280 wide container is scaled by 2.667, so some source pixels cover three screen pixels and some cover two. Pixel art shows this as uneven glyph stems and shimmering edges, and browsers resolve the unevenness differently, so the same scene can look crisp in one and soft in another.

"integer" rounds the factor DOWN so every source pixel covers the same whole number of device pixels, and letterboxes with the space left over. That trade, crisp pixels for black bars, is the whole decision.

What it costs

More than "some letterboxing", and the size of it is decided by devicePixelRatio as much as by the window. A higher ratio has more device pixels to round among, so it lands closer to the factor it wanted. For a 480x270 design, which is exactly a quarter of 1920x1080:

container	ratio	fit	integer	presented	area lost
1920x1080	1 or 2	4.000	4 / 8	1920x1080	none
1440x810	1	3.000	3	1440x810	none
960x540	1	2.000	2	960x540	none
1280x720	2	2.667	5	1200x675	12%
2560x1440	2	5.333	10	2400x1350	12%
1280x720	1	2.667	2	960x540	44%
1366x768	1	2.844	2	960x540	51%

So the decision is mostly made when the design resolution is chosen, not when this setting is. One that divides the sizes you expect costs nothing; one that does not can give up half the screen on a 1x display, and 1366x768 laptops are not rare. A game that must fill the window on any machine should stay fractional and accept the uneven pixels.

Two things to know:

It applies to scaleMethod: "fit" only. Every other method resizes the renderer to the container, so the design resolution moves and there is no fixed factor to round.
The rounding happens in device pixels. devicePixelRatio multiplies the CSS size on the way to real pixels, so rounding the CSS factor would let the fraction straight back in: a factor of 2 at a ratio of 1.25 is 2.5 device pixels per source pixel.

`antiAlias` does three things

This is the setting most likely to surprise, because it is not one switch:

the texture filter, but only while textureFilter is "auto" (the default), which TRACKS it: linear when on, nearest when off. Setting textureFilter explicitly decouples the two
imageSmoothingEnabled on the 2D context
the canvas CSS image-rendering: pixelated when off, auto when on

So antiAlias: false gives hard-edged textures AND a hard-edged upscale of the whole frame. That is usually what a pixel-art game wants, and usually NOT what a smooth 3D scene wants, because it also disables MSAA.

textureFilter: "nearest" | "linear" separates the texture half, so a scene can have smooth model edges and nearest-sampled sprites. The presentation half is not separable: there is no way to get MSAA silhouettes and a hard-edged upscale at the same time.

Drawn small: `textureFilter: "linear-mipmap"`

A sprite drawn much smaller than its texture (a zoomed-out camera, a minimap, a scaled-down sprite) shimmers as it moves, even with linear sampling: each screen pixel covers many texels and linear sampling blends only four of them. "linear-mipmap" samples the texture's mipmaps, smaller copies averaged in advance, wherever something is drawn below its size:

const app = new Application(1280, 720, { textureFilter: "linear-mipmap" });

At its size or larger a texture draws as it does under "linear", so a game whose main view is at its size and whose minimap is zoomed out gets a smooth minimap and an unchanged view. It covers sprites, text and tile layers, not a video nor a texture the engine renders into, and a nearest texture keeps to its full size. GPU backends only; on WebGPU each texture it applies to takes about a third more memory.

A small mipmap level's texels span many of the art's pixels, so a sample near the edge of a frame would reach into the next frame of the atlas. Under "linear-mipmap" every sprite and tile keeps its samples half a texel of the level it reads inside its own frame, so the next frame no longer streaks along its edges. Two limits:

a level's texel is an average of a square of the art, 2, 4, 8 pixels a side and so on. Where a frame's edge falls inside such a square, its outermost texel already holds some of the neighbour: drawn very small, a frame of an atlas packed edge to edge can show a faint line of it. Frames on a grid of a power of two (a 32 or 64 px sheet) are free of it, and a padding of a few pixels between frames removes it elsewhere;
a sprite drawn through a ShaderEffect samples the texture in the effect's own program, which is not kept to the frame.

A repeating pattern is left to wrap.

`subPixel` is about position, not scale

subPixel: false (the default) draws everything on whole pixels. The snap happens once, where a draw lands, the same on every renderer: each edge of a sprite, a shape or a clip is rounded to the nearest pixel after every translation and scale it is drawn under. So:

nested containers add their positions up exactly first (10.6 then -6.5 lands on 4, the pixel 4.1 is in);
a flipped sprite covers the pixels it covers unflipped;
a sprite and a fillRect at the same position cover the same pixels, and a shape has no half-grey edge on the Canvas renderer;
a position floating point error leaves a hair short of a pixel, such as a body resting on the floor at 223.99999999999997 after a collision push-out, draws on that pixel (224), so it does not shake every other frame.

The camera's view starts on a whole pixel too, in world units (zoomed 2x, it moves in 2 px steps), and culling and the pointer use that same position: things standing still stay still against each other while the view scrolls, and a click lands on what is drawn under it. A rotated draw, and anything a Camera3d draws, is left where it is.

It does nothing about how the frame reaches the screen. A game that carefully snaps positions and is then scaled by 2.667 has thrown that work away at the last step, which is the contradiction scaleRounding: "integer" exists to resolve.

subPixel: true alone does not make motion smooth: with nearest sampling a sprite between two pixels is still drawn on one of them, so a scene moving 4.5 pixels a frame jumps by 4 and 5 in turn. Rendered art (not pixel art) moves smoothly with textureFilter: "linear" as well, which blends it across the two, while the upscale stays crisp (antiAlias: true would also smooth the whole canvas as it is scaled up, which is what makes it look blurry). A still scene is only sharp when the camera rests on a whole pixel, so give it a target on whole pixels:

const app = new Application(1280, 720, {
	scale: "auto",
	subPixel: true,
	textureFilter: "linear",
	syncToDisplay: true,
});
// the camera follows a point on whole pixels, kept on the hero: it glides
// between pixels while following, and comes to rest on one
const focus = new Vector2d();
app.viewport.follow(focus, app.viewport.AXIS.BOTH, 0.12);

// in the hero's update(dt)
focus.set(Math.round(this.pos.x), Math.round(this.pos.y));

`syncToDisplay` is about steady motion

The game updates in fixed steps, 60 a second by default, as many as the time since the last frame holds. Browsers report that time with up to a millisecond of jitter,

# Display and scaling

Seven settings decide how a game looks on screen, and they are easy to get
individually right and collectively wrong. This is what each one actually
does, and which one to reach for.

## The four jobs

A pixel travels from your source art to a physical pixel through four
separate decisions. Knowing which setting owns which is most of the work.

| job | setting | what it decides |
|---|---|---|
| how big the frame is drawn | `width`/`height` on `Application` | the design resolution everything is authored against |
| how it uses the space | `scale`, `scaleMethod`, `scaleTarget` | fit, fill, stretch, and what it measures to decide |
| may the factor be fractional | `scaleRounding` | whole device pixels per source pixel, or any factor |
| how a texture is sampled | `antiAlias`, `textureFilter` | nearest or linear, and the CSS upscale filter |

`subPixel` is a fifth, orthogonal to all of them: it decides whether a
renderable may sit on a fractional position WITHIN the frame. `syncToDisplay`
is about the frames in a row rather than one frame: whether motion advances
by the same amount on each.

## Design resolution

```js
const app = new Application(480, 270, { scale: "auto" });
```

The game is drawn at 480x270 whatever the window is, and the canvas is scaled
to the container. Everything in world coordinates is in those units. This is
the usual arrangement: author once, scale to whatever you are given.

## `scale` and `scaleMethod`

`scale: "auto"` turns on automatic scaling; a number is a fixed multiplier and
`scaleMethod` is then ignored.

`scaleMethod` decides how the available space is used:

- **`"fit"`** keeps the design resolution and the aspect ratio, scaling to the
largest factor that fits. Leftover space becomes margin. This is the one to
use when the game is authored for a fixed frame.
- **`"fill-min"` / `"fill-max"`** keep the aspect ratio but RESIZE the
renderer, so the design resolution changes with the window and the game sees
more or less of the world.
- **`"flex"`, `"flex-width"`, `"flex-height"`** resize the renderer on one or
both axes.
- **`"stretch"`** scales each axis independently, so the aspect ratio is not
preserved and circles become ovals.
- **`"manual"`** does nothing automatic.

The distinction that matters: **`fit` scales a fixed frame; everything else
changes how much of the world is visible.** A game whose layout assumes a
known frame wants `fit`.

## `scaleTarget`: what gets measured

Automatic scaling measures **the parent of the element the canvas is mounted
in**, not the element itself. If that grandparent is not the box you meant,
the canvas is sized wrongly, and the failure is quiet.

The case that bites: a canvas container that is `position: fixed` or
`absolute` contributes no height to its parent, so the parent measures only
whatever else is in it. If that parent is `<body>`, the engine falls back to
the window size and the canvas ends up larger than the box it lives in,
cropped by whatever sits above it.

```js
new Application(1024, 576, {
parent: "screen",
scale: "auto",
// measure THIS, rather than guessing from the DOM shape
scaleTarget: document.getElementById("stage"),
});
```

Either name the element with `scaleTarget`, or give the canvas container a
parent whose box is the area you want filled. If the canvas is cropped or
overflows on resize, this is the first thing to check.

## `scaleRounding`: whole device pixels

```js
new Application(480, 270, {
scale: "auto",
scaleMethod: "fit",
scaleRounding: "integer", // default "fractional"
});
```

`"fractional"` fills the container exactly, at whatever factor that takes. A
480 wide design in a 1280 wide container is scaled by 2.667, so some source
pixels cover three screen pixels and some cover two. Pixel art shows this as
uneven glyph stems and shimmering edges, and browsers resolve the unevenness
differently, so the same scene can look crisp in one and soft in another.

`"integer"` rounds the factor DOWN so every source pixel covers the same whole
number of device pixels, and letterboxes with the space left over. That trade,
crisp pixels for black bars, is the whole decision.

### What it costs

More than "some letterboxing", and the size of it is decided by
`devicePixelRatio` as much as by the window. A higher ratio has more device
pixels to round among, so it lands closer to the factor it wanted. For a
480x270 design, which is exactly a quarter of 1920x1080:

| container | ratio | fit | integer | presented | area lost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1920x1080 | 1 or 2 | 4.000 | 4 / 8 | 1920x1080 | none |
| 1440x810 | 1 | 3.000 | 3 | 1440x810 | none |
| 960x540 | 1 | 2.000 | 2 | 960x540 | none |
| 1280x720 | 2 | 2.667 | 5 | 1200x675 | 12% |
| 2560x1440 | 2 | 5.333 | 10 | 2400x1350 | 12% |
| 1280x720 | 1 | 2.667 | 2 | 960x540 | **44%** |
| 1366x768 | 1 | 2.844 | 2 | 960x540 | **51%** |

So the decision is mostly made when the design resolution is chosen, not when
this setting is. One that divides the sizes you expect costs nothing; one that
does not can give up half the screen on a 1x display, and 1366x768 laptops are
not rare. A game that must fill the window on any machine should stay
fractional and accept the uneven pixels.

Two things to know:

- It applies to **`scaleMethod: "fit"` only.** Every other method resizes the
renderer to the container, so the design resolution moves and there is no
fixed factor to round.
- The rounding happens in **device** pixels. `devicePixelRatio` multiplies the
CSS size on the way to real pixels, so rounding the CSS factor would let the
fraction straight back in: a factor of 2 at a ratio of 1.25 is 2.5 device
pixels per source pixel.

## `antiAlias` does three things

This is the setting most likely to surprise, because it is not one switch:

1. the texture filter, but only while `textureFilter` is `"auto"` (the
default), which TRACKS it: linear when on, nearest when off. Setting
`textureFilter` explicitly decouples the two
2. `imageSmoothingEnabled` on the 2D context
3. the canvas CSS `image-rendering`: `pixelated` when off, `auto` when on

So `antiAlias: false` gives hard-edged textures AND a hard-edged upscale of
the whole frame. That is usually what a pixel-art game wants, and usually NOT
what a smooth 3D scene wants, because it also disables MSAA.

`textureFilter: "nearest" | "linear"` separates the texture half, so a scene
can have smooth model edges and nearest-sampled sprites. The presentation half
is not separable: there is no way to get MSAA silhouettes and a hard-edged
upscale at the same time.

## Drawn small: `textureFilter: "linear-mipmap"`

A sprite drawn much smaller than its texture (a zoomed-out camera, a minimap,
a scaled-down sprite) shimmers as it moves, even with linear sampling: each
screen pixel covers many texels and linear sampling blends only four of them.
`"linear-mipmap"` samples the texture's mipmaps, smaller copies averaged in
advance, wherever something is drawn below its size:

```js
const app = new Application(1280, 720, { textureFilter: "linear-mipmap" });
```

At its size or larger a texture draws as it does under `"linear"`, so a game
whose main view is at its size and whose minimap is zoomed out gets a smooth
minimap and an unchanged view. It covers sprites, text and tile layers, not a
video nor a texture the engine renders into, and a `nearest` texture keeps to
its full size. GPU backends only; on WebGPU each texture it applies to takes
about a third more memory.

A small mipmap level's texels span many of the art's pixels, so a sample near
the edge of a frame would reach into the next frame of the atlas. Under
`"linear-mipmap"` every sprite and tile keeps its samples half a texel of the
level it reads inside its own frame, so the next frame no longer streaks along
its edges. Two limits:

- a level's texel is an average of a square of the art, 2, 4, 8 pixels a side
and so on. Where a frame's edge falls inside such a square, its outermost
texel already holds some of the neighbour: drawn very small, a frame of an
atlas packed edge to edge can show a faint line of it. Frames on a grid of
a power of two (a 32 or 64 px sheet) are free of it, and a padding of a few
pixels between frames removes it elsewhere;
- a sprite drawn through a `ShaderEffect` samples the texture in the effect's
own program, which is not kept to the frame.

A repeating pattern is left to wrap.

## `subPixel` is about position, not scale

`subPixel: false` (the default) draws everything on whole pixels. The snap
happens **once, where a draw lands**, the same on every renderer: each edge of
a sprite, a shape or a clip is rounded to the nearest pixel after every
translation and scale it is drawn under. So:

- nested containers add their positions up exactly first (10.6 then -6.5
lands on 4, the pixel 4.1 is in);
- a flipped sprite covers the pixels it covers unflipped;
- a sprite and a `fillRect` at the same position cover the same pixels, and a
shape has no half-grey edge on the Canvas renderer;
- a position floating point error leaves a hair short of a pixel, such as a
body resting on the floor at `223.99999999999997` after a collision
push-out, draws on that pixel (224), so it does not shake every other frame.

The camera's view starts on a whole pixel too, in world units (zoomed 2x, it
moves in 2 px steps), and culling and the pointer use that same position:
things standing still stay still against each other while the view scrolls,
and a click lands on what is drawn under it. A rotated draw, and anything a
`Camera3d` draws, is left where it is.

It does nothing about how the frame reaches the screen. A game that carefully
snaps positions and is then scaled by 2.667 has thrown that work away at the
last step, which is the contradiction `scaleRounding: "integer"` exists to
resolve.

`subPixel: true` alone does not make motion smooth: with nearest sampling a
sprite between two pixels is still drawn on one of them, so a scene moving
4.5 pixels a frame jumps by 4 and 5 in turn. Rendered art (not pixel art)
moves smoothly with `textureFilter: "linear"` as well, which blends it across
the two, while the upscale stays crisp (`antiAlias: true` would also smooth the
whole canvas as it is scaled up, which is what makes it look blurry). A still
scene is only sharp when the camera rests on a whole pixel, so give it a
target on whole pixels:

```js
const app = new Application(1280, 720, {
scale: "auto",
subPixel: true,
textureFilter: "linear",
syncToDisplay: true,
});
// the camera follows a point on whole pixels, kept on the hero: it glides
// between pixels while following, and comes to rest on one
const focus = new Vector2d();
app.viewport.follow(focus, app.viewport.AXIS.BOTH, 0.12);

// in the hero's update(dt)
focus.set(Math.round(this.pos.x), Math.round(this.pos.y));
```

## `syncToDisplay` is about steady motion

The game updates in fixed steps, 60 a second by default, as many as the time
since the last frame holds. Browsers report that time with up to a millisecond

Overview

Display and scaling

The four jobs

Design resolution

scale and scaleMethod

scaleTarget: what gets measured

scaleRounding: whole device pixels

What it costs

antiAlias does three things

Drawn small: textureFilter: "linear-mipmap"

subPixel is about position, not scale

syncToDisplay is about steady motion

Use with my agent

Price & running costs

Start with one small task
