CoreGraphics is generally limited by main memory, and CALayer by GPU memory. CoreAnimation automatically tiles images that are larger than the GPU max image size. However, you also generally don’t want to get anywhere near such limits, as performance tends to fall off a cliff before those points (due to many many implementation details and due to your own competition with the rest of the system). If you know you will be dealing with very large images (a definition that varies from year to year mind you) you will probably want to deal with the largeness yourself, if only for initial loading performance reasons. > > So far, I had assumed it is the maximum texture size the graphics card can > handle, so I determined the limits via > glGetIntegerv( GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE, &maxTextureSize_ ); > > But apparently , the limits are much higher. > > How can I determine the limit, so that my app can filter out images over the > limit, so that it does not crash in such cases? > > I have checked the documentation, in particular > CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex() et al., to no avail. > > > > Best regards, > Gabriel. > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) > > Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list. > Contact the moderators at cocoa-dev-admins(at)lists.apple.com > > Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: > https://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/david.duncan%40apple.com > > This email sent to david.dun...@apple.com -- David Duncan _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
