out of memory error
Apr 15th, 2008, 8:59pm  
I have a simple script in which I am trying to load 8 jpeg images.  If I use a script that loads each image separately, I have no problem, but if I try to create the file names as the program runs, using an nf() command, I get an out of memory message. Here is the code, followed by the message it returns:

int numFrames = 8;
int frame = 0;
PImage[] images = new PImage[numFrames];

void setup()
{
 size(400,300);
 frameRate(10);
 
 for(int i=0; i<numFrames; i++) {
   String imageName = "cait " + nf(i, 3) + ".jpg";
   images[i] = loadImage(imageName);
 }
}

void draw()
{
 frame = (frame+1)%numFrames;  
 image(images[frame], 0, 0);
}


Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

at Temporary_9844_9205.setup(Temporary_9844_9205.java:12)

The same type of message has been coming up for multiple other scripts as well, regardless of the size or complexity of them. Any idea how to resolve this issue?

A search through the forum with the heap keyword revealed a previous post which may help you :
