Question on texture aspect ratio sizing.

Alright, I'll make this short and sweet. I have a set of textures loaded into my inventory
with particular aspect ratios that must needs be preserved. I use some textual information for dynamic building with these textures. I'd like to also extract the aspect ratio from the textures without having to tell me script this scale and use this in the dynamic building process.

I can't find any LSL hooks to get this information. Is there a way to access it? Any clever hacks?

I've heard conflicting things in world about this and was hoping someone could set me straight.

Thanks in advance,

Luce.

I am not aware of any way to get aspect ratio or other size information about a texture using LSL. A work around / fudge is to include the data in the texture name or hold it in a notecard.

The aspect ratio (and original image resolution) isn't actually stored in SL at all. SL will automatically resize your texture to the "nearest" power of two in each dimension, sometimes doing a crappy job of it in the process. So not only should you store the aspect ratios separately for your script (in the name is one good way), but you should also manually resize your textures to the nearest or most appropriate power of two in each dimension before uploading it, because you're likely to do a better job of it than SL will.
