Increase memory limit in application
Feb 29th, 2008, 5:02am
 
My app loads large images and uses OpenGL (it's a map), so needs to have the memory limit increased.  It runs fine from the IDE, but not when exported as an application.  Another thread pointed me to the -Xmx flags for the java runtime, so it was easy to fix on linux by just editing the shell script.  So, how would you do that on OSX or Windows?  

in OSX I tried editing Info.plist and changing the flag in VMOptions, but the app just crashes.  This is on a Macbook Pro w/ 2GB, and it runs smooth as butter in the Processing IDE.

side note: it runs smooth as butter in Processing 0124.  It runs like slightly chunkier butter in 0135.   don't know why yet.
