[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Pictures bigger than Memory?

rs4u+@andrew.cmu.edu (Richard Siegel) (02/29/88)

I've run into an interesting situation. Under some conditions, when I'm
drawing a picture, I run out of memory. I don't get a bomb 25, and MemError
is still zero, but my picture is empty.

My question is, how can I intercept conditions when a picture being drawn
runs out of memory?

I suppose it's possible to spool a picture, but some of these turkeys are going
to be huge ( >=150K), and on floppies, one can run out of space quite easily,
which is no better than running out of memory.

Thanks in advance.
