I was just guessing that it is part of the process of converting actual data (32 bit floats) to images on the screen (24 bit for RGB (32 with transparency) or 8 bit for grayscale). I tried converting the data to 8 bit, with .astype('uint8'), and it keeps being poorly responsive on zooming and panning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
