Hay
Sorry if this should not go in programming but not sure where else to put it
I have a GIF file of a roadmap which is 16k in filesize
if i make the picture 4x as big (ie double each dimension) the filesize increases exponentially ie. more than x4 , i would have thought it would be non exponential as GIF is very good at compressing large areas of the same colour which is what roadmaps normally have (mine has).
WHAT HAPPEN ?
