PGraphicsOpenGL OutOfMemoryError
Feb 16th, 2008, 11:26pm  
when loading a large jpg...

_image = loadImage("a_large_file.jpg");
image(_image, 0, 0);

i get the following error.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Direct buffer memory at processing.opengl.PGraphicsOpenGL.requestDisplay(PGraphicsOpenGL.java:172)

this is only happening using the OPENGL renderer but working ok with default renderer.

does anyone know a work around using the OPENGL renderer?

Though there may be a solution, don't feel bad if you have to increase the java memory size. It's too small as default for many basic applications.

If you're running out of eclipse, put "-Xmx512m" in your vm arguments.

If you're in processing IDE, I don't know how you can send vm arguments in... but there is probably a way.
