3140.0. ""Picture too large" error with DECW$PAINT" by CSC32::D_COHN (Semiprodigious) Thu Jul 26 1990 16:11

	I need to find out what would signal a "picture too large" error from 
DECW$PAINT when trying to include a ".DDIF" image file.  The file in question 
was originally a ".TIFF" file but was "$CONVERT/DOCUMENT"'d to ".DDIF" format.  

	The customer is running V5.3-1 (V2.0) of DECWindows on VS-3100 with a 
19'' color monitor.  He didn't mention the files origin other than that it was 
from "one of my PCs".

	What is considered "too large" for a bitmap image?

Thanks,

Dennis

	From reading the source code, it would appear that you are limited
	in paint (V53 sources) to reading in an image that is 8 � X 11 inches
	at 300dpi. (FILEIO.LIS, Read_DDIF routine)

	Could one of the paint people confirm this?
