Okay so I am making an encyclopedia for an rpg universe for my friends to reference too when we are playing the game. I have everything seemingly functional, but the pictures that pop up that are sized for the window I made for it doesn't keep the picture in line. Which means it bleeds off of the gui completely. I have tried changing the size of the picture and the size of the picture area in the gui and it doesn't seem to work. Help Please.

width := A_ScreenWidth/1.5
height := A_ScreenHeight/1.5
pheight := height/1.5
pwidth := width/1.5
nheight := height/10
mheight := height/6
nwidth := width/4

It is only partly complete, because I don't want to move on until I fix the picture where I want it to be. Thanks for any help.

[tomoe_uehara]

Try use w%pwidth% h-1

[Kazzy120]

Fixed it! Thanks anyway. If you feel the script could be more efficient tell me.

I changed

gui,submit,nohide
GuiControl,, pic,*w%pwidth% *h%pheight% %A_ScriptDir%\races\pictures\%race%.png
fileread,now,%A_ScriptDir%\races\descriptions\%race%.txt
GuiControl,, desc, %now%

To

gui,submit,nohide
GuiControl,, pic,*w710 *h380 %A_ScriptDir%\races\pictures\%race%.png
fileread,now,%A_ScriptDir%\races\descriptions\%race%.txt
GuiControl,, desc, %now%

What does w%pwidth% h-1 do exactly even though I have fixed what was needed.

[tomoe_uehara]

You can make your GUI a lot compact by using Loop, but you have to complete the rest of your GUI first.
w%width% h-1 means the height will be locked, so if the original image is w=200 h=100, if you do w400 h-1, it's height will be (400/200)*100=200

[Kazzy120]

Oh thanks So lets say I use w-1 will it be locked? I am not sure what you mean by looped. I literally learned all these basics by using the GUI creation thing that AHK supports and reading the help manual. I'll look up loop.
