What card allows Panning?

I'm using Map Point 2004 and was wondering if it's possible to open the
image far larger than my screen size and capture or copy the image to paste
into a paint program? What cards allow panning, and if your card allows
panning is it possible to make a "huge" virtual screen and then copy that
screen and paste it into a paint program?

Use of the dual head feature (whether it's dual D-sub, DVI or a mix) or
even a splitter on a single output will alow almost any card to span two
monitors when setup. A screen capture will grab the spanned desktop or
window.

I am running two monitors but I'm wondering if I can have a single monitor
display a 40" x 40" zoom so that I can pan around that image and then grab
the whole thing. I can display my image on the two monitors now but I end up
with an image size of 12" x 30" wide.

AFAIK you can only do screen grabs of what's actually on screen in the video
memory. You want to grab an image far larger than what's being displayed on
your monitor. Don't this is possible as a screen grab.

any idea on how a virtual screen would work? Even if I had to grab the image
in a couple sections that may work. Do most NVidia cards support this?

Sorry, don't know this. Maybe someone else on this group may have some
ideas.

I know there are video cards out there that will allow one to create a
virtual/fake screen size but do you think either ATI or NVidia will answer
my question.. You would think that they would be interested in selling a
video card... I guess I could just start buying and returning cards but that
would be a huge pain in the @ss.

Used to be able to do this on old Matrox cards.

Believe it or not there is an app that can do just this. It's also one of
the best screen capture utilities in general.

40 x 40, doesn't happen to be some medium format photograph I hope?

Don't worry nothing illegal. I'm trying to get a MapPoint map but it will
only allow you capture whats on the screen, I'm working on 15s so I don't
get to see much.
