Hi Peter, hello all,
Aha! Well it seems to work if I change the resolution like that. I even
managed to render at 8000x8000 (with a 1GB page file though, haha). But
just so that you have some more information about the original error:
Once I get the "Unable to link rendering context." error, it still goes
on to show me the window titled "Untitled 1 - 20% - Chaotic Flow" with
all the sliders for the parameters at the side. The rendering window is
grey, as usual, but when I press F3 to find an attractor, the render
window goes black, and no matter what I do it stays black. So it doesn't
appear to be a problem with your code as such, more a limitation of my
drivers, but I guess you already knew that.
Great, thanks for your quick reply. All hardware implementations of
OpenGL are limited in how big a viewport they can create. Chaoscope
shouldn't need to create a viewport larger than your screen resolution
(which it did in 0.2). However there's a design flaw in the View
initialization where the viewport size is equal to the project size.
I'll fix that in 0.3.1.
I don't test if the OpenGL initialization fails or not but I should
really. Failure to create the rendering context means you won't get a
preview! :-)

Nicolas Desprez
