| My memory needs jogging. I'm sure there was mention of this sometime ago but I can't seem to find anything about it. I seem to remember there being some issue re. loading images that are actually larger in either axis than the screen resolution currently set using the GRAPHICS command... Does loading such an image cause issues, or is it only displaying such an image (or a portion of it that exceeds current resolution) that causes uncertain problems? |

| As far as I remember this is driver based and means that displaying a image that is bigger than your display buffer can be slowed down dramatically. But I don't think it happens on all machines/GFX cards. |

| Cheers, TeraBit. Hmm... so that should mean I can get away with loading in an large image with a view to showing just a small part of it. Perhaps I'll just go for it, and if it turns out to cause anyone any problems, I'll look into changing it. |
