Portrait aspect

[dginev]

It is very handy that pixray has such smooth support for both "square" and "widescreen" aspects.

I was wondering if you'd be open to also adding a "portrait" aspect, which would be effective for, well, portraits, but also various vertical compositions (e.g. individual waterfalls, skyscrapers, trees, and so on)

Sounds like a great idea - I'd vote for a 5 to 4 aspect ratio - sound good? Note that it's possible to manually set size and pixel_size to anything you want, but very easy to screw this up (and nice to have a few settings heavily tested and optimized!) which is why I think having a few preset aspect settings is very helpful. On these settings I also the total pixel area on the settings so that "scale=N" is the same total area for a constant N.

Using that logic, I've gone ahead and added an aspect="portrait" setting in the master branch (example attached). Give it a go and if it seems to work for you we can add it permanently and expose it in some of the notebooks.

Indeed, this works quite nicely on my end, thanks for the instant feature! And good to know about size and pixel_size, will experiment with them for some custom ideas.

Enjoy a "handsome robot" as thanks.
