Displaying 6k x 6k images about js9 HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Briehan,
Both of these work for me:

# override the dimension limits in the Load command:
JS9.Load("../data/f814w.fits.gz", {xdim:10000,ydim:10000})

and

# change the limits in js9prefs.son
var JS9Prefs = {
  "globalOpts": {"helperType":	     "nodejs",
  		 "helperPort":       2718, 
		 "helperCGI":        "./cgi-bin/js9/js9Helper.cgi",
		 "fits2png":         false,
		 "debug":	     0,
		 "loadProxy":	     true,
		 "workDir":	     "./tmp",

                 "image":             {xdim: 10000, ydim: 10000, bin: 1}
                },
  "imageOpts":  {"colormap":	     "grey",
  		 "scale":     	     "linear"}
}

JS9.Load("../data/f814w.fits.gz")

I assume you are doing the latter. What is the value of JS9.globalOpts.image once JS9 is ready?

Any chance you have an old value set and saved in your preference plugin?

Sorry Eric, I seem to have declared the override in the wrong place. It works perfectly now.

OK, that's better than a bug!

An important side note: be aware that Chrome will eventually start 'aw snap'ing if your images get too large, since it has a per-tab memory limit (2Gb or 4Gb, I forget, but it's real). I'm pretty sure FF does not have the same limit. If you trip over that problem (and depending on what you are trying to do), there is 'large file' support in place to extract and display a section of a huge image ... it's a work in progress, so let me know if you bump into memory issues.

Thanks. I'll definitely keep any eye out for that.
