Same and different viewports

Since the aspect ratio of a graphic or photo often does not match the aspect ratio of the display, the viewport of a graphic's window is transformed to the displayable coordinate system.

If the aspect ratio of the window is identical to the aspect ratio of the viewport, the viewport will be rendered without distortion.
