id like some math in order to project a traditional x,y graph into a 2:1 isometric-like grid like below.
anybody know of some simple ways to do this. some math would be awesome

Actually, true isometric is some weird angle that comes close to (2 horizontal, 1 vertical), but isn't quite that.
Anyway, I'm not sure if image manipulation like that is even possible, you will probably need isometric versions of your graphics instead.

oh i know. im not talking image manipulation. the angle is like 35.??? degrees. not sure.
im talking simple math and coordinates.

there has to be some way to project a standard coordinate system onto a system like an isometric one. ive been messing around with some stuff but none of it works right.
i will be using isometric pixel art i just need a mathematical way to place them onto an isometric like grid from say, an array. which is x, y.

yes mashedpotatoe. thats true isometric or axonometric. im not interested in that. i dont want to mess with the trig and matrice multiplication. i have some math that draws it now but it draws from the wrong side. im still working on it but i still may need some help.

It has a blue elephant, and in my mind that's all that matters.

Would it not be possible to simply place objects normally without having to convert from a 1/1 grid to an isometric grid?
like ive tried to draw^

well heres a screeny of how it draws it and how the coordinate system works for the isometric grid.
if anyone's interested and understands c++ ill post my source and an .exe

This sounds a little harder than 2X = Y then I saw something on this once actually... I'll search the depths of the internet a sec, brb
