- This extension creates pixmaps pictures. A pixmap is a raster image of the picture
- rather than a set of drawing vectors.
-
- The picture is drawn in an offscreen pixmap. This pixmap is then saved has a
- PICT file, but the original vector composing the image are then lost.
-
- This extension uses a lot of memory. A standard sheet of paper is about
- 800 x 600 pixels. In 256 colors mode, the extension must allocate
- 800 x 600 bytes = 480000 bytes, plus the same size for the resulting picture
- and the size of the original picture.
