      I am trying to change the position property of an artwork file for a modified battle zone background to make the game more 'full screen' on my dell 20" 4:3 monitor.

      I am having trouble understanding the position value. I get the one below stretches the game to match the corners of the background art.

      position =0,0,1.0,1.0

      However here's an example from Boot Hill that centers the screen on the background artwork but yet does not fill the entire 1600x1200 display. I saw a calculator somewhere that provided some context to these numbers, anyone know where that is?

      backdrop:
      file = boothill.png
      layer = backdrop
      priority = -2
      visible = 1
      position = -0.2625,-0.24375,1.2625,1.1667

      Why would the second set of coordinates be larger than 1.0 yet not fill the screen? Anyone know how to make sense of these numbers? I thought they were x,y coordinates for upper left and lower right.

      Thank you!
