 Check if game keeps aspect ratio in code?

Is there a way in GML to check whether "keep aspect ratio" is turned on in Game Options?

Is this something anyone else needs?

If you post in here you want it, and it's not already a feature, I could link to this thread in a help desk ticket to show there's some level of demand for it, and hopefully they'll consider it a feature for a future version.

I currently need this for an extension I'm working on, otherwise I will have to write two separate versions of the example object, one for full scale, one for keep aspect ratio.

Assume the game to be running in "full scale" option up until the point where application_surface's aspect ratio no longer generally matches (abs(ar1-ar2) > 0.01) the aspect ratio of window/screen (depending on whether in fullscreen mode).

That's perfect! I don't why the size of the application surface didn't occur to me! Thank you so much d00d! :D @YellowAfterlife
