Suppose that it's a huge diagram with thousands of nodes and links and I have an algorithm to arrange them in a nice manner.
before splitting this huge image into lots of smaller and more manageable pieces (and I have to do this to present them in the browser), I have to draw the whole picture somehow, somewhere. so, it would be very nice if java could provide a graphical context for huge images (virtual memory?) instead of limiting the amount of memory to the jvm heap. Gimp and photoshop have their own swap disk spaces to deal with these kind of images. I would love to work with JVM in a 64-bit environment, so I could address much more memory to the heap (in theory), but I would like to know if I can solve this with my 32-bit machine :-) any ideas? this discussion was moved from JAI forum because people there blame Graphics2D inability to deal with such big images. see http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=23194&tstart=0 thanks in advance [Message sent by forum member 'shikida' (shikida)] http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=204880 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
