Beginner: Cant load image-out of memory

Beya

Hey, I just begann using processing, and I have the following problem: I cant load anything! no font, no image, no PShape(image) :(( It would be great, if someone could help me :)

This is basically what I am doing:

First: I Write some code:

//-------------------------------
PImage mapImage;

void setup()
{
  size(600,600);
  mapImage=loadImage("landkarte_dk.svg");
  
}

void draw()
{
 background(200);
 image(mapImage,0,0);
 smooth(); 
}
//---------------------------------------

Then I copy my image into the same folder as the processing file. So the image is right next to the code.

So - i save everything, and hit run. The Emulator/Window opens. The screen stays grey. no image appears. After a few seconds a loading icon appears. After a few minutes I close the "Emulator"(sorry I just cant remember the proper english word).

When I try to load a font this error appears: NullPointer exeption appears. But when I try to load the image(PShape or Pimage) another error appears: Out of memory. (Processing is allowed to use 2gb memory. )

I use processing 3.0.1 and a machine with windows 8.1.

It would be sooo sweet if someone could help me with this.

//my english is realy bad, that is why I tried to write in simple sentences.

I wonder whether loadShape() is more appropriate for ".svg" files?

actually I wish to use PShape. But I tested font and PImage also, just in case. I also formatted my former post. Thank you.

This is what I actually tried to do:

Main:

Land land;
PShape s;

void setup()
{
Land land=new Land();

size(800,800);
surface.setResizable(true);
translate(width/2,height/2,0);
background(0);
smooth();

s = loadShape("myImage.svg");

}

void draw()
{
   land.render(s);
}

class land render:

class Land 
{
  Land()
  {
  }
  
  void render(PShape karte)
  {
    fill(100,0,0,0);
    shape(karte, 0, 0, 50,50);
}
  
}

AFAIK, unfortunately Processing can't deal w/ all types of ".svg" files. Dunno the details about it, sorry.

Anyways, how about your Land class to keep its own PShape; plus coordinates & dimensions?
You only have to pass the loadShape() once when instantiating it like this: *-:)
land = new Land(loadShape("myImage.svg"), 0, 0, 50, 50);

class Land {
  PShape karte;
  int x, y, w, h;

  Land(PShape k, int xx, int yy, int ww, int hh) {
    karte = k;
    x = xx;
    y = yy;
    w = ww;
    h = hh;
  }

  void render() {
    shape(karte, x, y, w, h);
  }
}

Thank you. An out of memory Error wont appear. But the svg File wont show. Maybe I can find out now what the problem is.

Read the overview, specifically 'Loading and displaying data':

To add a file to the data folder of a Processing sketch, use the Sketch → Add File menu option, or drag the file into the editor window of the PDE. The data folder will be created if it does not exist already.
