Limit to decoration size (curiosity)

[Michael Aivaliotis]

Just discovered that if you take any decoration and stretch it. It will only allow you to stretch it to a size of 4095x4095 pixels. This is is LV7.11. This is not a show stopper but was curious why?

4096/256=16 bytes which might be a limitation in supporting a wide array of hardware and OS. Although it's odd because scrolling isn't anything new.

That isn't an answer but it might be something to do with the OS support. I wonder if this is the same limitation in LV8.

Log2 4096 = 12

Well, it appears that LabVIEW 8 does not have this limitation...

hmm ... i wonder why someone needs decorations lager than a screen size? who wants to programm those wallpapers?

if i suggest, that jim has allready bought his 30 inch dell LCD he would only need 2560x1600 :question:

i can understand that sometimes you need lots of space in the BlockDiagram, but on the Frontpanel ?
