I have got a situation where I am creating a bitmap as follows:

What I have tried:

bitmap=new Bitmap(newWidth,newHeight)
newWidth is say 10,000 and newHeight is like 9,000

Upon hitting this line I get an error about invalid parameter being used. It happens almost everytime
Is there a limitation to bitmap and what is it dependent upon?

Solution 1

It's probably your system, and the available contiguous memory: What is the maximum resolution of C# .NET Bitmap? - Stack Overflow[^]
So start by looking at what else you are allocating, and perhaps try to create the really big objects earlier while the contiguous memory may be higher.
