Read proportional containment policy
Synthetic source geometry is 1600×900 pixel units. Target box 600×300 models ideal proportional containment with empty space, but no crop or stretching. Scale is the smaller of 600/1600 and 300/900. Local placement accepts empty side space; use these supplied box dimensions.
| Constraint | Scale/result | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Width limit | 0.375 | Not limiting |
| Height limit | 1/3 | Limiting |
| Ideal geometry | 533⅓×300 pixel units | No content crop |
Calculate the limiting scale
- Calculate both scale limits
- Take the smaller scale
- Scale both dimensions equally
- Record total side space
Do not round output width up beyond the box or claim stretching preserves proportions.
What dimensions and total horizontal space result?
Show the worked answer
Ideal geometric dimensions are 533⅓×300 pixel units, with 66⅔ units of total horizontal empty space,33⅓ each side if centred. A width-first 600×337.5 output would exceed height by 37.5.
Keep the unused space explicit
| Case | Decision or result | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Scale 1/3 | Fits | Height exactly 300 |
| Scale 0.375 | Reject | Height 337.5 exceeds 300 |
Preserve the exact geometric ratios. A raster rendition needs a separately supplied rounding/export choice before a concrete pixel-size deliverable can be requested.
