setGridStyle(), setDisplayMode() not working in roGridScreen

When I run the following code, I get a portrait-shaped poster with my image stretched vertically to fit (as if I had used "scale-to-fill"). No combination of arguments to setGridStyle() or setDisplayMode() makes any difference. What am I doing wrong?

function main()
screen = CreateObject("roGridScreen")
port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
screen.SetMessagePort(port)
screen.setupLists(1)
screen.setListNames(["my row"])

screen.setGridStyle("flat-landscape")
screen.setDisplayMode("zoom-to-fill")

o = {}
o.HDPosterUrl = "http://songza.com/api/1/station/1396578/image"
screen.setContentList(0, [o])
screen.show()

while true
msg = wait(0, port)
if msg.isScreenClosed() return -1
end while
end function

Re: setGridStyle(), setDisplayMode() not working in roGridSc

You need to call SetGridStyle() before you call SetupLists() or SetListNames()

OK, that fixed it. You really should update your docs to mention this.

This documentation has still not been updated to reflect this requirement. Just ran into it myself. The page that needs to be updated is here:
