(I used one CI actor, so unfortunately it's Mac-only, you'll also need the TroikaTronix FFGL Plugins: https://troikatronix.com/plugin/tt-ffgl-for-isadora-2-3/)

I am not sure if I understand what you are looking for but in this patch my answer to what I understood.

Circle path on 1920x1080.izz

Just change the blend mode of the projectors to 'transparent' and it should work like you want.

If you set the horz and vert size of the shapes actor to 1280, you get a video output of 1280 x 1280 pixel. That's it. Your projector will then convert this to 1080 x 1080 pixel. No chance to reach anything beyond.

This 'two sine-wave generators with 25% phase shift' thing will ONLY give you a circular motion on a square stage. If you want a circular motion full screen, you have to take into account that the -50 to 50 for the 'horz pos' is worth (in your case) 1920 pixel, but for the 'vert pos' only 1080 pixel.

As I don't like the generator thing anyway, attached my old school approach.

Think I was not clear. 
WHat I mean is; my projector is full HD, so 1920*1080
I'd like to make a shape that stays a circle & doesn't go oval. I understood that I then set the horz size & vert size in the shapes actor to the same number (Mark uses 1280) 
The result I then get is that my shape is in a 1:1 aspect, but it's not to been seen in the sides of the projection (only the 'middle')See my patch to see what I mean.
I have the same in the Guru#4 patch....

I was asking myself if another parameter on Shapes actor that let get alpha instead of "fill color" when "line size" is used could be a good feature...
You can already do this programmatically Line Size = Alpha Fill.izz

Thanks a lot, your patch makes the stuff very clearly !

Well if you set the horz and vert size to the same number your output will be square.

Very inspiring! I realise even more I managed to make something very ugly ;)
Decided to upload it anyway, because of this question:

>> 1st time changing the forced horz/vert size for the shape >> how come I now can't acces more than the centre square of my scene? (my image is not fullscreen, when the resolution is square) 

If anybody has a link to an tutorial explaining that bit again, thank you. For some reason seem to be different results than I expect & not seeing how you guys did it in the 6 patches I downloaded from here.

 Your welcome! Credit to @Woland who made great use of it in a shared user actor some time ago.

Heres my simple curtain made with some of the actors introduced. I used the user actor for clear arrangement.

Although it is beyond all reasonable use of Isadora, I cannot avoid to love it.
