Problem with fe.layout + fe.add_surface

[amuser]

The original image.jpg and rpi2 resolution size are both 1920x1080.

This works fine:

Code: [Select]

local flx = fe.layout.width=640;
local fly = fe.layout.height=480;
local flw = fe.layout.width;
local flh = fe.layout.height;
local image = fe.add_image( "image.jpg", 0, 0, flw, flh );
this works fine too:

Code: [Select]

local flx = fe.layout.width;
local fly = fe.layout.height;
local flw = fe.layout.width;
local flh = fe.layout.height;
local imageSurface = fe.add_surface(flx, fly);
imageSurface.set_pos(0, 0, flw, flh);
local img = imageSurface.add_image( "image.jpg", 0, 0, flw, flh );
img.set_pos(0, 0, flw, flh);
but if i try to put the image (or a text) inside a surface and set fe.layout with 640x480 the image (or text) looks pixelated:

Code: [Select]

local flx = fe.layout.width=640;
local fly = fe.layout.height=480;
local flw = fe.layout.width;
local flh = fe.layout.height;
local imageSurface = fe.add_surface(flx, fly);
imageSurface.set_pos(0, 0, flw, flh);
local img = imageSurface.add_image( "image.jpg", 0, 0, flw, flh );
img.set_pos(0, 0, flw, flh);
So, i can't use fe.layout.width=640 and fe.layout.height=480 because the surfaces will look bad, except for surfaces using fade module:

Code: [Select]

local flx = fe.layout.width=640;
local fly = fe.layout.height=480;
local flw = fe.layout.width;
local flh = fe.layout.height;
local surface_flyer = fe.add_surface( flx, fly );
surface_flyer.set_pos(flx*0.01, fly*0.01, flw*0.5, flh*0.8);
local flyer = FadeArt( "flyer", 0, 0, flw, flh, surface_flyer );
Im missing something or it is a bug?

amuser-

The surface art can be independent of what the layout resolution is.

For example, I can define my surface art to be 1024x768 while my layout is 640x480. 

local flx = fe.layout.width=640;
local fly = fe.layout.height=480;
local flw = fe.layout.width;
local flh = fe.layout.height;

//create surface for snap
local surface_snap = fe.add_surface( 1024, 768 );
local snap = FadeArt("snap", 0, 0, 1024, 768, surface_snap);

yeah, i can use this:

Code: [Select]

local flx = fe.layout.width=640;
local fly = fe.layout.height=480;
local flw = fe.layout.width;
local flh = fe.layout.height;
local imageSurface = fe.add_surface(1920, 1080);
imageSurface.set_pos(0, 0, 1920, 1080);
local img = imageSurface.add_image( "image.jpg", 0, 0, flw, flh );
img.set_pos(0, 0, flw, flh);
but if i do this i will go back to the main reason i was thinking to use 640x480: slowdown. If i set the surface and the image to 1920x1080 the wheel scrolls very slow. And if i set the same image to 1920x1080 without surface the wheel scrolls fast, even with the fe.layout in 1920x1080:

Code: [Select]

local flx = fe.layout.width;
local fly = fe.layout.height;
local flw = fe.layout.width;
local flh = fe.layout.height;
local image = fe.add_image( "image.jpg", 0, 0, flw, flh );
But i need the surface to turn the image visible/invisible.
So, for now:

Great image quality, good performance (but no surface):

Code: [Select]

local flx = fe.layout.width; //1920
local fly = fe.layout.height; //1080
local flw = fe.layout.width;
local flh = fe.layout.height;
local image = fe.add_image( "image.jpg", 0, 0, flw, flh );
Poor image quality, good performance:

Code: [Select]

local flx = fe.layout.width=640;
local fly = fe.layout.height=480;
local flw = fe.layout.width;
local flh = fe.layout.height;
local imageSurface = fe.add_surface(flx, fly);
imageSurface.set_pos(0, 0, flw, flh);
local img = imageSurface.add_image( "image.jpg", 0, 0, flw, flh );
img.set_pos(0, 0, flw, flh);
Great image quality, bad performance:

Code: [Select]

local flx = fe.layout.width=640;
local fly = fe.layout.height=480;
local flw = fe.layout.width;
local flh = fe.layout.height;
local imageSurface = fe.add_surface(1920, 1080);
imageSurface.set_pos(0, 0, 1920, 1080);
local img = imageSurface.add_image( "image.jpg", 0, 0, flw, flh );
img.set_pos(0, 0, flw, flh);
Why the combination of surface at 1920x1080 + image at 1920x1080 is going to a bad performance if the same image at 1920x1080 without surface do not slowdown? Even converting the image to just 50KB dont speed up...
