[Openroad-users] Size limit?

[Paul White]

Thanks Kim,

Thats quite a bit more elegant than what I was thinking.
I had in mind a set of global constants of type bitmapobject, loaded at
startup.

  I found that you often have the same images in a lot of frames.

  Like a toolbar.

  I tried to change this.

  I made a frame just consisting of a 2 column matrix first column was the
‘key’ the second column was the image.

  I opened that frame at application startup and in the initialize section
the “lifted all the keys and and image into a choicelist.

  Then when a frame stated I let it look up the image from ths global
choicelist.

  This reduced the image size significantly, because I now only had an image
once instead of a copy in every single frame.

  The performance degration at frame startup was insignificant because a
choicelist lookup is very fast.

  The positive side effect was that I could now change images in one single
place.



  I later extended this to have images in different sizes in separate
columns.

  Yeah, I'd say there are a lot of embedded images and graphics on complex
forms.



  118Mb image = {

  3548 components in 51 applications.

  Slightly over 1200 frames supported by around 2000 user classes and 250
4GL procs.

  }



  Is there an easy way I could estimate the graphics component without
running an exportapp of each application and parsing the output? (I havent
looked for some time so I think I might do it anyway)

    Do you have a lot of graphics on the forms?

    I have an 8000 components application but it is 5.5mb.

    The majority of components are not user frames but anyway.

    OK, so yours is bigger than mine - 79mb (about 4020 components in one
app - OR4.1).
