First result of strip camera Povography.
The lighting is to flat.

But is there an easy way to set up the camera?
To position the cat, I started with a cam_angle 40 and a normal aspect 
ratio for a 320x240 image.
Then changed the aspect ratio up<0,1,0> right<0,005,0,0> and the image size  
+w2 +h400. Now by try and error find a new camera angle 0.15. Is there a 
logical way to approach this?

If the camera-'angle' to rendered-image-resolution formula has ever been
mentioned I missed it.  All I know is that angle 67 is nearly the same as
'direction 1' (the old field of view keyword) for the perspective camera.  I
think so anyhow.
I don't have any idea what the equation would be to get other widths in pixels,
or height for that matter, to correlate with differing fields of view.  I might
have tried at one time to see if it was a linear change but seems to me it
wasn't, thoroughly anyhow.  I could be wrong, or it just wasn't perfect enough
to use for everything... some reason I don't have the "formula".

Let me take a stab at this. The "formula" that Bob (good memory for the
angle 67 is nearly the same as direction 1, Bob) was looking for is:

direction_len = 0.5*right_len/tan(radians(ang)/2.0)

If we solve for angle, we get:

ang = degrees(2.0 * atan(0.5*right_len/direction_len))

direction          nearest
 length    angle   degree
---------  ------  -------
 0.500     106.3     106 
 0.625      93.7      94 
 0.750      83.3      83 
 0.875      74.6      75 
 1.000      67.4      67 
 1.125      61.3      61 
 1.250      56.1      56 
 1.375      51.7      52 
 1.500      47.9      48 
 1.625      44.6      45 
 1.750      41.7      42 
 1.875      39.1      39 
 2.000      36.9      37 
 2.125      34.8      35 
 2.250      33.0      33 
 2.375      31.4      31 
 2.500      29.9      30 
 2.625      28.5      29 
 2.750      27.3      27 
 2.875      26.1      26 
 3.000      25.1      25

The default view has a right length of 4/3. Ingo used a camera angle of
40 degrees.
 
right_len = 4/3
ang = 40
direction_len = 0.5*right_len/tan(radians(ang)/2.0) = 1.83165

Let's keep that same camera location. Set width to 2 and height to 400.

right_len = 2/400
ang = degrees(2.0 * atan(0.5*right_len/direction_len)) = 0.15640

Is this what you wanted, Ingo?

Mark

Don't know if it's what Ingo wanted but I've always wanted it.  Thankyou plenty.

What have you done to that poor cat? - seems to have a slight elvis
complex...
