Dear all, I ran into a memory problem when trying to draw a few hundred png files using one imshow per file. The problem can be boiled down to the attached code which eats my memory very quickly until Python bombs out. I tried to "del" objects after their use, looked for garbage and read the user manual, but no luck. Did I do anything wrong or is this a memory leak?
Cheers, Leif # discovered odd behaviour in relation to the imshow function # memory usage will go up quickly until the runtime breaks # watch it with the task manager # lxo, 19.02.2008 # running matplotlib-0.91.2.win32-py2.5.exe with wxPython 2.8.4.0 on Python 2.5.1 from pylab import * import gc for i in range (1000): A=rand(1024,1024) im = imshow(A) #del A #doesn't help #del im #doesn't help #print gc.garbage # no garbage This message has been checked for viruses but the contents of an attachment may still contain software viruses, which could damage your computer system: you are advised to perform your own checks.
