Re: How does Pipmak.getimage work?

[James C. W. <jfc...@ya...>]

Hi Christian,

I'm working on scripting a sort of very basic particle system, and I wanted to know how much memory the operation would eat.
Am I correct in assuming that the decompressed image in RAM would be the same filesize as a BMP version of the same image?

Thanks,
  James
