I am currently using raster images to display labels for geometric entities. The problem is that if you have an object with a large number of entities, each raster (eg 20x16) will consume LARGE amounts of memory. In fact in my case I run out of memory on the galleon model from the j3d demos.
I'm currently reusing ImageComponents in the raster's for duplicate lables. For example, Face ID of 50 and Edge Id of 50 both use the same ImageComponent.
Is there a more efficient way of displaying labels?
I suppose - only suppose - then main problem here is overhead of each image, not it's actual size. So maybe you should try to create few big images with many labels on each of them and then create rasters displaying correct parts of this image ?
