Hi to all, I'm plotting 10,000 little squares thus exceeding TeX capacity. I was going to modify context.cnf (everything works with 5,000 squares). In particular, I'm on macosx 10.3 with Gerben's distro. I am editing this file: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/context.cnf 1. is it correct? 2. Above all, I'am obtaining: ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=8000000]. Here's the log: If you really absolutely need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to enlarge me. Here is how much of TeX's memory you used: 1108 strings out of 60272 18484 string characters out of 602115 8000001 words of memory out of 8000000 38234 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+50000 75018 words of font info for 37 fonts, out of 2000000 for 2000 192 hyphenation exceptions out of 5000 36i,2n,31p,223b,477s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,6000p,200000b,40000s PDF statistics: 0 PDF objects out of 300000 0 named destinations out of 131072 1 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 10000 No pages of output. But in context.cnf I have: main_memory.context = 2000000 main_memory.mpost = 3000000 main_memory.metafun = 3000000 Now, I added one 0 to all these params, thus decuplicating the values, but nothing changes. ? Many thanks as usual for any hints Best -a- Andrea Valle DAMS - Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione Università degli Studi di Torino http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea andrea.valle@unito.it
Now, as far as I understand it seems that I have to edit texmf.cnf. In any case, I do not know in which way... Thanks! -a- On 12 Mar 2006, at 11:19, andrea valle wrote:

did you regenerate the formats?

Thanks Hans So: 1. If I understand, I have to edit context.cnf, right? 2. It may work, but non necessarily. It is thus possible that I cannot solve definitively the problem. How do I choose a clever number to set? 3. Ehm... No, I haven't regenerated the format. How can I do it? Thanks Best -a-

I edited the file doubling the 3 values
But in context.cnf I have: main_memory.context = 2000000 main_memory.mpost = 3000000 main_memory.metafun = 3000000
did you regenerate the formats?
Then I ran: texexec --make (right?) But nothing changed Best -a-

no, texmf.cnf ; context.tmf is an example of what i use here; (you can try copying context.fmf to you texmf-local/web2c path)
2. It may work, but non necessarily. It is thus possible that I cannot solve definitively the problem. How do I choose a clever number to set?
locate the texmf,cnf files used and just change the numbers; going from 2 meg to 4 meg is no problem, but in your case of adding a zero, going to 20 meg is more that tex can offer
3. Ehm... No, I haven't regenerated the format. How can I do it?
texexec --make --all Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks Hans, I made some tweaking with values (quasi-randomly...). Console is extremely slow in processing the file including the MPGraphic (I thought many times it hanged, then letting it run without looking I discovered some minutes after that it was still working). Looking at the the terminal (from TeXShop), it seemed that the process was not finished, so I killed it, but the pdf is complete. In any case now I have my drawing of 10,000 squares. Best and thanks a lot -a- PS: Here you have my algorithmic hommage à Boetti (http://www.artfacts.net/index.php/pageType/exhibitionInfo/exhibition/ 5797/lang/3): http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/alternando.pdf On 13 Mar 2006, at 09:24, Hans Hagen wrote:
