Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of rendering a display simulation of a target digital device on a development system display having a different resolution or form factor, the computer-implemented method comprising: selecting a first target digital device, the first target digital device having a first display resolution and a first form factor, the first display resolution or the first form factor being different from the development system display; displaying an image form of the selected first target digital device on the development system display; adjusting a displayed size of the image form in accordance with the first form factor to accommodate the rendering of the first target digital device display such that the rendering simulates the first display resolution; calculating a proportional font size for the first target digital device such that text rendered by the development system display appears proportional to the size of text as if displayed on the first target digital device; calculating a relative geometric position the relative geometric position simulating the location of text as if displayed on the first target digital device; and displaying text on the development system display in accordance with the proportional font size and the relative geometric position to simulate the first target digital device.
