[comp.windows.x] XPutImage maximum image size

dune@cbnewsl.ATT.COM (Greg Pasquariello) (07/20/89)

I am developing an X based fax program that needs to put as much pixel
info into a pixmap as is possible.  Time is critical.  Unfortunately,
the sever seems to impose a limit on how much data XPutImage can put
at one time.

If this is not the case, please let me know.  Otherwise, what I need to
know is this;  how can I _portably_ find out the maximum amount of data
that XPutImage() can handle in one shot?

Thanks for any help.
