BufferedImage issue

[john renfrew]

While answering the previous question I found sometihng that's not terribly brilliant, well at least on this machine Retina iMac with i7 and 32gB RAM...

if you just do

return new BufferedImage(3000, 3000, 1)

you get a black RGB image 3000 * 3000

 

If you bump up the x param to 10000, you get a nice wide image

If you bump up the y param instead, (tested at 4000) then FMP freezes and you have to crash it to get anywhere...

 

This feels completely counter intiuitive and I never love crashing out of FileMaker. Any clues as to why???
