I use this viewport widget as the root widget in many apps that have a fixed resolution. The viewport will automatically fit itself to the window after its been created (including rotating if its a better fit). This makes testing apps for large resolution like 1080p on smaller screens a lot easier.

Usage

#!python

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.factory import Factory
from viewport import Viewport

class ViewportApp(App):
    def build(self):
        self.root = Viewport(size=(1080,1920))
        self.root.add_widget(Factory.Button(text="ViewportApp"))
        return self.root

if __name__ == "__main__":
    ViewportApp().run()

                self.scale = Window.width/float(self.width)
