I'm reading a field and translating characters I find in it into pixel 
colors. I've fixed the problem by making sure I have enough characters 
in each line of the field to completely fill each row of the image. It 
seems to work now.

The puzzling part was that when I had 8 lines that were only 8 
characters long each, and I applied 4 repetitions, the imageData was set 
as a column on the left side of the image, 8 wide and 32 high, with the 
remainder of the image empty. I thought imageData was applied in rows 
from left to right. I expected to see junk at the top, not a column at 
the side. I was wondering what made it wrap. There are no returns in my 
imageData.

A side effect of this experiment was that after a couple of tries, Rev 
crashes. So maybe I'm not seeing something that is really supposed to 
happen. ;)
