Imaq image size limitation

Are there any known limitations with the Imaq tools concerning the possibel image size?
Currently it appears that the width of the image is limited to 1023 or less. Anything bigger than 1023 is cut-off. The height of the image doesn't appear to suffer from this.

We're currently trying to capture an image with a resolution of 1188x754.
We've also tried to load a ready made image of that resolution with the Imaq tools but that on also sufferd from the 1023 limit. Used VI are Imaq Create, Readfile and Winddraw.

Is this a known a problem if so is there a feasible workaround?

I am guessing that your display size is 1024 pixels wide. The WindDraw routine automatically limits the size of the window to the size of the display. The entire image is actually there. If you turn on scrollbars, you can see the rest of the image. I have created and displayed much larger images, so you are not hitting a hard limit.

Thank you for the quick respons.
The screenresolution is indeed 1024 pixels wide. Once the scrollbars are enabled the picture is indeed completely viewable.

I didn't think about screenresolution since I tried the function with an image of 754x1188 (instead of 1188x754) and that one did show completely onscreen. The WindDraw routine appears to be only using the width and not the height.
