[PD] [pix_crop] offY incoherence

[B. Bogart]

Hi,

This is normal media-art practise, mapping one range of values to 
another. Having one normalized system of coords does not solve all 
problems, sometimes you want to know the position in actual pixels, 
sometimes you don't. Not to mention the beauty of non-linear mappings.

Getting a handle on mapping from one set of numbers to another is the 
very centre of interactive media, and what one should get used to once 
they figure out what functions/object boxes/operations do.

I've always covered gemunits in my gem classes. Knowledge of things like 
the [rectangle 5.333 4] that fills the 4:3 gemwin, and the [rectangle 
7.111 4] rect that fills the 16:9 gemwin have become normal...

I prefer rounder aspect ratios myself (1:1, 2:1, 3:1,...), blame the 
screen makers!
