    Bitmap width limit to 4000 pixels?

    Hello my Gideros friends,

    Short question, I am using parallax scrolling and I want to scroll an image from
    right to left. I discovered that pictures with a width of more than 4000 pixels
    will not be displayed. I checked the documentation and I could not directly find
    an answer.

    Best regards,

    Marc

      You are lucky you could load a 4k picture.

      Texture limits on a lot of phones are 1k and 2k.

      You could split it into 4 (or more 1k pictures, then use the Map drawing system to display the map of the images?

      Ok, thanks for your reaction. So it depends on the smartphone?
      I thought it was Gideros related. In the simulator it works great.

      Hi,

      Yes, it depends on the phone. From 1k to 4k - so you should always use 1k - use 2x scale images for the others though - if the phone is high resolution then it should support 2k at least.
