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.
