Bug 92017 Support very large Image on Windows platform
Reported: 2005-04-19 20:33:21 | Status: resolved fixed

Currently an Image on Windows is size-limited - on my system to 16MB. However, a posting in eclipse.platform.swt in response to "Larger image problems" suggested that there is a way to get OS.CreateCompatibleBitmap to transparently return a DIB that is stored in main memory and can be any size. If there is a way to easily support this, it'd be really helpful.
