Hello IDL Newslist folks,
Here is an update on a problem I posted a couple months ago. At the
time I got thoughtful responses from Randall Frank and David Fanning,
but unfortuantely no solutions. I got back to the problem recently and
interacted with IDL tech support.
The problem is WinNT40 ran out of video RAM space [based on Randall
Frank's comment] for pixmaps when loading large animations [180 frames,
500x800 pixels] into Xinteranimate.pro, and I got the error below. My
pc is large enough system RAM and HD space are not limiting. I am
hopeful, based on Adam's response, that RSI may work on this.
The following is clipped from our most recent communications:
========================================================
Joe:
Yeah... it seems to be a conflict between WIN-NT and the way
CW_ANIMATE.pro is written... because it crashes on every WIN-NT machine
I
ran it on today! I'm going to talk to the developers tomorrow and see
if
there's anything else they can think of. As far as I'm concerned this
phenomenon should probably be logged as either a bug or a feature
request
that the CW_ANIMATE_LOAD be rewritten. I'll let you know what I find
out...
Cheers: adam b
