Wotcha!
When you are writing games or other graphics routines for your VIC-20 you'll sometimes need to compensate for the pixels being rectangular rather than square. My question is:
What aspect ratio do you assume for pixels in your code?
Pixel, pixel, on the wall - who's the squarest of them all?

I think it’s about 1 2/3 wider than tall.

The pixel aspect ratio (PAR) of hires pixels on PAL is 5:3 (or 1.667:1) and on NTSC it is 3:2 (or 1.5:1).

Is it possible to display the pixels squarely with a Commodore Monitor 1084? The setting should be possible with v.height and h.width.
