Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
I am trying to recreate some examples from last fall after updating everything in sight. [I was using beta4 and the visad I downloaded in aug. now I'm on solaris java1.2 (aka java2) and the visad-src.jar is dated jan6.] Last fall I was able to run these examples by using java -mxBigNumber and since then I've added a 256MB to the machine. Running java -mx512m still gets the outofmemmory error but top (with 0 second delay) never shows the program using more than 315MB (and only 44MB in res) The program is doing an isosurface for volumetic data. By default the isosurface at W=0 is nothing, one click on the contour widget to the right is enough to cause the problem. Strangely, it worked "once" with the default -mx The old version of the program is almost that of http://www.math.fsu.edu/~bellenot/class/f98/vis/dir7/Coop5.java
