Picture Frame+ Help - Max Tiling

Max Tiling
 
Max Tiling works together with Auto Size. It selects which of the texture dimensions is used to determine the auto sized frame width. But it doesn't select texture height or width directly. Instead when Max Tiling is not selected the smaller of the two texture dimensions is used, and when Max Tiling is selected the larger of the two is used. For square textures the height and width are the same so Max Tiling has no effect. Here's an example of a texture with height greater than width.
Actual Size, 25x30 pixels 6x Magnification

The following example shows how Max Tiling works on an auto sized frame with this texture. For both images the frame width is identical (50).

Note that there are no zig-zags in this texture like there are in the texture shown to the left. That's because with a non-square texture there are no perfect diagonals in the digital world of pixels so it's very difficult if not impossible to achieve symmetry for such features. So it is recommended to always use a square texture for such applications unless you have a very compelling reason not to.
