non-square images

ok, there's probably something for this, but apparently i missed that class. how do you get a non-square image to not wrap-around and repeat, but to just expand to the size of the imported image? (see picture). if you look at the components you see two vertical bars of the same size, but if you look at the preview window on the upper left, you see what you really get with a non-square image being used.

also, because the image is repeating and repeating from the left to the right, if you have horizontal bars similar to the vertical ones shown, and there is a texture with a stretch, you get a proper look until you hit the repeating part and then it picks up from the left and you get a vertical stretch to complete the horizontal bar.

i can appreciate seamless, sort of, but i'm not in this program for that so much. why cant we have a component that simply reads the image size and then simply stretches things to match. maybe a script someone could write?

CF,

i put the spectrum in only to show the effect more readily. even without it it still does it. do perlins cause this also? or thresholds?

ok, you see the pic i posted... in that, if you compare the preview window to what's showing in the component window, the two vertical bars, you'll see that, in the preview window, it works perfectly up to the point where a square image would end, but, because the imported image is NOT square, it repeats fr om where it ends at a square image and starts over, filling in the rest of the image that is more than just a square. what i want to do with that filter is to stretch the actual bars to fit the rectangular image when it's rendered, not stop at the square part and start over with the render. thus, the bars would stretch clear across a non-square image, whether the bars were vertical or horizontal.

now, i can fake this somewhat by including a frame component, but it has a flaw in it with non-square images in that the horizontal bars stop using the vertical texture from the perlins wh ere the square ends and when they repeat because of being non-square, they pick up the texture from the vertical bars and use that to fill in the rest of the horizontal bars. very frustrating, this.

now, is there a way to override this or get around it and especially without having to use a frame component or is there a way to read the image size of the imported image and using a script have the bars stetch or add to their own lengths?

basically, what i'm trying to do is make a frame without using a frame compnonent for a non-square image.

ThreeDee, i can almost guarantee that now that you've posted... nobody else is going to get to it i'd love it if you could/would do it

Examples follow.

Here's what the Fill Proportionally filter does:

This is a non-square image with an internally-created circle, Size, pixels pulled down some. Without the Scrippet:

Oops, sorry, the first image was with Make Proportional Scrippet...

Here's the original output without any Scripts:
