[PD] GEM mapping units to pixels

[altern]

hi

do you mean something like the example attached?
This doesnt work ok for me, the shape should be 10x10 px and is not, 
also x and y pos are dont match with window size. Translating to 400, 
300 should place the rect in top right corner but I get that with only 
320, 190,  so the units are not mapped to pixels

but maybe i am missing something from what you describe?

In opengl to achieve this 2D like-pixels to units effect i would
set the perspective to be orthographical with glOrtho command, is 
something like this possible in Gem?

thanks!!
