BUG: Complex Graphics Image Partially Printed

Last reviewed: January 5, 1995
Article ID: Q72493

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows versions 3.0 and 3.1

SYMPTOMS

When an application 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

Some of the clipping must be done by the application to reduce the amount of GDI local heap used.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Windows versions 3.0 and 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
