problem of memory

I'm running a script to generate maps. At the end of processing, the memory that was allocated is not released and the process is completely blocked so I can not even save my outputs and i'm forced to exit Matlab. Do you have any solution for this?

Thanks in advance

You are using your paging files. You have a few options:

1. Buy more RAM
2. Break up your operation into many steps
3. Try to rewrite your code to clear variables after use, so as to decrease the memory requirements

Also ensure that if you are generating Matlab Figures (as an intermediate step) with the 'Visible' property set to false that you close them after use. I know this has caught me out in the past.

Thank you, do you know the command to set the Visible property to false?

[C.J. Harris]

Example:

h = figure;

set(h, 'Visible','off');

[C.J. Harris]

Therefore ensure that if you set your figure to invisible you still close it. Following on from the example above:

close(h)

okay but i'm wondering how to open it in the end of the script??

[C.J. Harris]

To show the figure again set its visiblity to true:

set(h, 'Visible','on');

i will test this. Thanks a lot Chris
