[ANSWERED] Portrait Mode Mapping

Re: [Using projectors in portrait orientation](/topic/6261/using-projectors-in-portrait-orientation)
I''m looking to do some projection mapping that combines some projectors in portrait mode and some in landscape mode, but all of them referencing the same "stage". Is there a straightforward method to do this in the Stage Setup window? -
I don't know why this only showed up as unread for me today, but adding multiple displays to the same Stage can be done with the little "+" button just above Stage Settings in Stage Setup. If you then drag the different displays around within the Stage, anywhere they overlap it should automatically handle the edge-blending for you.
If you are doing edge-blending, these User Actors of mine might also be useful for calculating how many pixels of overlap you want to have (generally around a 20% overlap is ideal):
blend-resolution-calculator.iua4
blend-resolution-calculator-2-display.iua4
blend-resolution-calculator-h-and-v.iua4
This tutorial of mine on how to put User Actors into your Global User Actor folder so you can use them in any project was made for Isadora 2, but the process is still basically identical: https://lucaswilsonspiro.wordpress.com/2017/08/28/isadora-set-global-user-actors-folder/
If you're not doing edge-blending, you can just add multiple displays to the same Stage as shown in the gif, but instead of overlapping them, you can just butt them up against each other at their edges so they have no overlap. Then, when you open IzzyMap for that Stage, you'll have a Stage that encompasses all three displays for mapping purposes.
