Hi Franz,
To make my problem more concrete, imagine the following picture:
|<---- width of the huge "virtual" image ------>| +---------+---------+-----------------+---------+ | image 1 | image 2 | ... | image N | | | | | | | | | | | +---------+---------+-----------------+---------+
All the images are in different places in memory.
From my point of view I would make something like a wrapper class that holds the separate images and supports an iterator to iterate over the huge image. In this case I'm not sure if I could use this wrapper class as a normal gil image and therefore can't use the full gil power at my wrapper class.
Do you know if gil has something onboard to solve problems like this?
You can create an image view from raw data. Once you have a view you can use all the gil goodies. Look here: http://stlab.adobe.com/gil/html/group___image_view_constructors.html Does that help? Christian
