fatal:ContourPlotDraw: Workspace reallocation would exceed maximum size 100000000

[jinlx]

Hi there,

I met a common NCL error when using pyngl. But in this case, we can't fix this bug by removing the wsMaximumSize statement in ~/.hluresfile. Any suggestion on it?

Hi Lixu,

it seems to be that your wsMaximumSize is too small. You shouldn't remove the entry but increase the value, maybe to 10000000000.

Yes. I wonder where I could change this value.

Thanks,

The file has to be in you home directory.

$HOME/.hluresfile

Hi Karin,

There is no .hluresfile in my home directory. So I create one.

! Black background, white foreground (not recommended, but hey)

*wkForegroundColor  : (/1.,1.,1./)
*wkBackgroundColor  : (/0.,0.,0./)

! Fonts.  We personally like "helvetica" better.

*Font           : times-roman

! Make default X11 window larger (adjust as necessary)

*wkWidth      : 800
*wkHeight     : 800

*wkColorMap  : BlAqGrYeOrReVi200

! Increase the default (16mb) contour memory
! If you hgave gridded data > 500 x 500, you may need this

But, when I try to source it, it shows that

Hi, This is not a file you "source"; its a file that NCL looks for by default, and if it exists, then it uses whatever resource settings it finds in the file as "starting values -- values that might be different than what NCL normally defaults to. You can of course still override these settings with explicit resource settings in your script. RB
