This particular language has been relaxed somewhat. As of iOS 3, creating and using images larger than 1024 in either dimension should work, as long as you have the memory for it. Of course, a 2.5K square image consumes about 24MB when decompressed. That should generally work on devices that have more built in memory, but is almost certain to fail on older devices that do not. But 24MB is still a huge amount of memory to consume on a single image that the user can't even see all at once. -- David Duncan _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
