'           Width of picture area to paint in pixels.  Note: If this value
'           is outrageous (i.e.: you passed a forms ScaleWidth in twips
'           instead of the pictures' width in pixels), this procedure will
'           attempt to create bitmaps that require outrageous
'           amounts of memory.

'           to use as the source. (in pixels)
