Read image tiles from ECW and MrSID directly...

It is possible to draw ECW and MrSID image files directly, without first creating a BBF file containing the image tiles.

Advantages:

  • Less disk space used (no BBF file required).

  • No wait for BBF file to be created.

  • Allows handling of ECW and MrSID files larger than 2GB.

Disadvantages:

  • Redraw of ECW and MrSID images may be slightly slower.
