HI,

I saw posts about showing bigger pictures is a problem. When U SAVE big ones is the same.
Here a sample which will create a damaged picture:

local group_ = display.newGroup();
for i=1,1200 do

local rec_ = display.newRect(0,i,320,1);
rec_:setFillColor( math.ceil(math.random()*255),math.ceil(math.random()*255),math.ceil(math.random()*255));
group_:insert(rec_);

end
print(“Height:”,group_.height);
display.save( group_, “reload.png” , system.DocumentsDirectory );
I tried to create something like cacheAsBitmap() (similar to AS3) to have better performance after remove the vectors.

THX much!
I still have the workaround to split it all. But without the option to call save(group,x,y,width,height) its not easy. Because I have to split the groups…
