Hi Bruno,
That's what I thought. It's not a huge deal of work for me anyway. But I have another question. Do the osg wrappers keep the images in the main CPU RAM, or in the GPU texture memory only?
You can determine the mode of the osg::Texture/contained image data by seting the setUnRefImageDataAfterApply() to what you like. The driver will put the data to the GPU when needed and most likely keeps some copy on the main RAM.

Cheers
Sebastian

    Hello,

    I am trying to render a single image with 30.000x30.000 pixels. I
    do this by loaindg a PNG file into a single osg::Image object,
    and asigningt it to a texture within a gl quad.


    However, this crashes my app (my gpu only supports 16.368 pixel
    images, ans had only 2gm ram).
    This question has been asked a while ago. Generally the answer
    boiled down to: you most probably can't. OpenGL imposes a limit to
    the maximum texture size. Modern desktop GPUs should handle
    8192*8192, but you cannot assume to have this. Biggest support
    I've seen so far was 16384. One option is to split the image into
    pieces and to use multiple adjacent quads with the pieces assigned.
    The memory issue might be resolved using compressed textures
    (basically using GL_COMPRESSED_RGB for your texture format).

    Do you really need to display the complete resolution? If not, the
    simplest option is to resize the texture before displaying it.

    Cheers

    How should this be done? Is there some utility in OSG to do this
    out of the box?
