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
