Images larger than 2K x 2k still leave screen (Read 925 times)

Images larger than 2K x 2k still leave screen
Nov 3rd, 2006, 2:35am  
Since I produce pics larger than my screen size (1068x760)with processing, it is annoying to see them go "out of frame" once I go beyond 2000 x 2000.
Most need to be clicked on once with the mouse before I can saveFrame.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I have seen this complaint here before.
Is there a workaround or solution for my problem?

thanks for your consideration

P.S.

I would be happy if somebody could post a code fragment that would simply allow to "saveFrame" after 60 secs or so.
That would do it for me!

I think there's code around here that'll save larger images out as a bunch of smaller images, that you can then re-construct later into a single larger image outside of processing which would avoid this problem.

As for the save after 60 seconds, you could do this with:

Code:
if(millis() > 60000)
{
  saveFrame("foo.jpg");
  exit();
}

this is a limitation of the Java implementation on your machine, and will vary by platform. more info is found in the newly updated size() reference, in the last paragraph:
http://processing.org/reference/size_.html

bottom line is that if you want images bigger than the screen, use createGraphics() for consistent results. and if you want createGraphics(), download release 0120.
