[vtkusers] How much memory vtk lib can handle???

[Dhaniram Kshirsagar]

Hi,

I was processing above 1billion points using vtkCellArray and
vtkDecimatePro, it crashed eventhough i have more physical memory
(around 2GB).
I have no clues what happened.

Also I have not found any robust system for tracking such type of
memory related errors (cannot allocate memory!!!). I have added the
oberservers but still it doesn't solve my purpose because if I add the
oberserver to vtkDecimatePro then I don't have any control over the
internal allocation done by DecimatePro algorithm.

Can anybody tell me how to handle such type of things???

Thanks
Dhani..
