I have a field of view of 90 with an aspect ratio of 4:3. The value that comes out of this is 1.0.
If I want to set the aspect ratio to 16:9 with a field of view of 90, I use:
2 * atan((4:3 / 16:9) * tan(1.0 / 2))
Using this I get 1.333307009707560, which makes the image correct to 16:9.
However, if I keep the aspect ratio at 4:3, and lower the FOV to 65, the number that used to be 1.0 is now 0.63707029819488525
So if I want to calculate 16:9 from that, I have to use that number as the source, which gives me 0.849420257806366 for 16:9.
What I want to know is how to figure out why 1.0 lowered to 0.63707.
I'll provide a bunch of FOV values and the number it produces:
I can use a FOV value anywhere between 1 and 160 so if you need more numbers, let me know.
