I can't reproduce that on a GNU/Linux box. After step 3, the image fits
exactly the width of the emacs window and the height is set correctly to
keep the aspect ratio. After step 4, I have two side-by-side windows,
each showing about the left half of the image, but no squishing.
Have you compiled emacs with ImageMagick support? I guess so, because
else doc-view would fall back to reconversion with any zooming command.
So let's assume you have ImageMagick support, could you please evaluate
;; That's basically what doc-view with ImageMagic does when
;; fitting/zooming
(insert-image
(create-image "/some/image.png"
'imagemagick nil :width 100))
and play a bit with the width parameter? In any case, the image should
keep its original aspect ratio.
,----[ (info "(elisp)ImageMagick Images") ]
| `:width, :height'
| The `:width' and `:height' keywords are used for scaling the
| image. If only one of them is specified, the other one will be
| calculated so as to preserve the aspect ratio. If both are
| specified, aspect ratio may not be preserved.
`----
If you don't have ImageMagick support, could you check if just finding
some png image with image-mode and then splitting has the same squish
effect?
Bye,
Tassilo
