memory problem with metapost
- by yCalleecharan
Hi, I'm using gnuplot to plot a graph to the mp format and then I'm converting it to eps via the command:
mpost --sprologues=3 -soutputtemplate=\"%j-%c.eps\" myfigu.mp
But I don't get the eps output; instead I get this message:
This is MetaPost, version 1.208 (kpathsea version 3.5.7dev) (mem=mpost 2009.12.12) 6 MAY 2010 23:16
**myfigu.mp
(./myfigu.mp
! MetaPost capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=3000000].
_wc-withpen

l.48052 gpdraw(0,517.1a,166.4b)
;
If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.
How do I tweak in order to get more memory. The file from which I'm plotting has two columns of 189,200 values each. These values are of type long double (output from a C program). The text file containing these two column values is about 6 MB.
Thanks a lot...
