It is a bit like demand paging, yes. There are formats for which rectangular regions map to contiguous block of memory. TIFF has specs for tiles, strips, subfiles, layers, etc. AFIAK, hardly anyone uses those, but they certainly exist. JPEG is also composed of 8x8 squares and is easy to stream. The API has per-scanline read & write callbacks IIRC. But you're right; a very very wide one might be a case it can't deal with. |
