Sorry if I'm asking a question that has already been up, but I'm new to this and can't find help.

I want to work with a map that's of resolution 2000*5000 pixels. Drawing som bezier curves connecting different cities, then printing it out on a huge poster.

How do I load the image at that resolution? Now I just see a small part of the top left corner. I don't want to compromise the resolution...

what is your final output? is it for screen? is it for print?

cause in the case that it is just for screen usage and you are not going to zoom in. There is absolutely no need to load an image with such a high resolution.  In other cases you can load it that large, and then use the width and height variables when defining the image size.

like this : image(img,0,0,width,height)

this way it gets scaled down to fit the screen.
The final product is supposed to be printed on an A0 poster. So it has to be of high resolution!
it still might be better to work with a low res version in your sketch and replace it later using some software like Illustrator for final printing.
Hmmm....not an advanced user of Illustrator...but would that be possible if the map contains loads of overlapping curves? I would rather export a high resolution image from Processing.
See here: http://forum.processing.org/topic/high-resolution-rendering-hack

Several code examples that are useful for your problem.

Solution: work at low resolution, export at high resolution.

Thanks, that worked out very well for me :)
