Image file limitations for shapescript images

[edbridge]

Can anyone give some guidance on the limitations on the images to be used via the Shapescript Image(..) function?

I have successfully used images but have so far kept them to .png files converted from 16x16 256 color bitmaps. As I have been regrettably successful in crashing EA by using the wrong bitmaps elsewhere, I'm wondering what size and depth limitations I need to keep in mind.

The icon type bitmaps saved as .png appear but don't look very good when you expand shapes. I suppose I could find out by trail and error but some prior guidance would be helpful.

Can a higher resolution png be used? Up to what size?

Well, I've now succeeded with png files with 128x128 pixels.

 

In case anyone is interested.
