Hej!

I have a similar problem.

I am analyzing shots measured in a tokamak. The problem in my case is,
that the program opens up to 10 iplot windows per shot. Each window
contains 420000 data points. After approx. 15 shots, the Computer runs
out of memory (2 GB).
I have the same problem when I suppress the visualisation of the iplot
windows (user_interface='n') and dump the picture of the plot directly
to the harddisk instead.
Although my program runs in a loop and all the variables are defined
only once and are rewritten for each shot.In my case iPlot seems to be
the problem.Is it possible that every iPlot window reserve a certain
amount of memory? How do you plot your data?

My solution: I will ty to use float instead of double numbers and I
will upgraded my PC to 8 GB RAM.
