ok, i stripped down the sample to one image and coul dgenerate a page
(btw \twodigitMPoutput will make mem usage less but also the quality)
now, the problem is in the way you define your graphic:
def Whatever () =
save SomePicture ;
picture SomePicture ;
lots of draws
SomePicture := currentpicture ;
SomePicture % return value
end
here you *never* erase the currentpicture, so graphic keeps accumulating, and
each SomePicture has all previous draws
you can see that on the screen: acrobat takes ages to draw the simple graphic
and you can also see it from the mp output (a couple of 100K lines).
solution:
def Whatever () =
save SomePicture ;
picture SomePicture ;
lots of draws
SomePicture := currentpicture ;
currentpicture := nullpicture ; % ADDED
SomePicture % return value
end
or just
def Whatever () =
image (
lots of draws
)
end
So ...
Hans
