if you are working with large images ... why don't you use gimp.
Thanks. I was definitely using the wrong tool. I can open and zoom the
images no problem in gimp. I had tried that before but couldn't get it
to read the files at all. I played with the settings again and got a
file that could be opened after all.
The images are generated with Phylip, and I guess they aren't that big
in terms of memory, but I had been plotting using 100cm x 100cm as the
paper size so I could get them large enough to read the labels. But gimp
won't read those files properly. It will read the illegibly small
versions on normal size paper, and then let me zoom them so I can read
them. I guess the zoom function in GV is not very efficient.
adding more memory will defn. improve the situation but try cheaper
solutions first. unless that is you need an excuse to upgrade in which
case ... ;).
And now I'm still looking for an excuse! Maybe the GRASS images will be
truly huge...
Thanks,
