Put a drawing area inside a scrolled window, size the drawing area to 6000x6000 (or whatever) connect to the "expose" event, and in the handler calculate the pixels for that rectangle (perhaps by reading them from the disc) and paint them to the screen. I made it a bit smoother by having the expose handler just paint a background pattern, and then add the exposed area to a list of pending repaints. A background thread calculates pixels and when they are ready, it redraws that part of the screen. I can zoom and pan around 10GB images quite quickly. The only problem is with win32 GTK: It currently has a limit of 32k by 32k pixels for a scrolled window :-( The program and source are here if you're curious: http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk John _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
