PRWIN9105002: Complex Graphics Image Partially Printed

ID Number: Q72493

3.00

WINDOWS

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: WIN9105002

SYMPTOMS

When an application developed for Windows version 3.0 uses the

clipping functions to print a complex graphics image on a high

resolution output device, the printed output is incomplete; portions

of the image are missing.

CAUSE

The clipping region is stored in the graphics device interface

(GDI) local heap. It is possible for the local heap to run out of

memory.

RESOLUTION/STATUS

Some of the clipping must be done by the application to reduce the

amount of GDI local heap used.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version

3.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here as it becomes available.
