Containers for photos, with scroll, drag&drop between them

[cvp]

@jmv38 could you post your code, only this part, and the image you use?

[jmv38]

@cvp just to let you know here is my code.
It wont run because the rest of the code is missing, but it gives you the idea

def save(self):
    # make a hi resolution copy of back & images, then save it in camera roll
    xo, yo, w, h = self.page.back.frame
    c = self.page.back.background_color
    targetWidth = 4*1024
    s = targetWidth / w
    w, h = w*s, h*s
    page = ui.View( frame=(0,0,w,h), background_color=c)
    views = []
    for thumb in self.thumbs:
      x,y,w,h = thumb.frame
      x,y,w,h = (x-xo)*s, (y-yo)*s, w*s, h*s
      v = ui.View( frame=(x,y,w,h) )
      x,y,w,h = thumb.iv.frame
      x,y,w,h = x*s, y*s, w*s, h*s
      img = thumb.getImage(thumb.asset)
      iv = ui.ImageView(frame=(x,y,w,h), image=img)
      v.add_subview(iv)
      page.add_subview(v)
      views.append(v)
    # save page image in pythonista
    getTopView().add_subview(page)
    #page.bring_to_front()
    #if True: return
    path = 'temp.jpg'
    with ui.ImageContext(page.width, page.height) as ctx:
      page.draw_snapshot()                            
      ui_image = ctx.get_image()
    pil = Image.open(io.BytesIO(ui_image.to_png()))
    pil.save(path , quality=99)
    # save page image in albums
    asset = photos.create_image_asset(path)
    os.remove(path)
    getTopView().remove_subview(page)
    views = False
    console.hud_alert('saved')

looks like i must add the view to the screen to get the draw snapshot to work.

Not at all, I think. You've seen my little code, nothing goes to the screen

[jmv38]

@cvp you are correct. My pb was pbly sthg else.

@jmv38 The only 4096 limit I find for iPad Air is Max OpenGL Texture Sizes

[cvp]

From here

The UIImage documentation (as of iOS 10) no longer seems to mention size limitations, although if you use UIImageView with images whose dimensions are larger than the maximum texture size* supported by the device you happen to be using you do get very large memory consumption at render time.

(The memory consumption I see in Instruments seems to indicate that the entire image is put into a 32 bits per pixel buffer when the CA::Layer is rendered.)

If your app doesn't get kill by the OS due to memory usage, the UIImageView does still end up displaying the image though.

Given this, you'll still need strategies to deal with very large images.

• You can check the maximum texture size using something like glGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE, &maxTextureSize);. Just make sure you've set the EAGLContext current context to be something non-nil before querying OpenGL, otherwise you'll get zero.

I've tried in ObjectiveC, following this and this

and I have same crash with very big files of more than 25MB
