A year ago in January I posted a question to c.l.j.p about a large image crashing javafx.scene.image.ImageView. Yesterday I happened to revisit the issue and discovered that between then and now something has changed and I am now able to display a large image (5100 x 6600 2bpp) in an ImageView. Since this discovery I have been hard at work seeing what needs to be done to port an existing Swing application that uses and displays large images to JavaFX. I needed a break and came here to c.l.j.g and saw your post. How To Ask Questions The Smart Way Thank you for the opportunity to stretch my legs.
