[vtkusers] large data sets and memory

[thomas jetzfellner]

hi,

this is the first time, I write to the list and I think my question 
could sound a little bit "stupid". my current problem is, when i load 
large datasets there is a problem with the memory allocation. my 
programm crashes on the update call of the vtkImageData. I tried it in 
different ways and none worked on large data sets. small data is 
processed correctly. Attached you find some code snippeds, on the update 
call my program dies.
 
  vtkImageData* volume= new vtkImageData ;
  volume->SetInput( centerImage->GetOutput() ) ;
  volume->Update();
 
  vtkImageDataStreamer *ids = vtkImageDataStreamer::New();
  ids->SetInputConnection(centerImage->GetOutputPort());
  ids->SetNumberOfStreamDivisions(200);
  ids->UpdateInformation();
  ids->GetExtentTranslator()->SetSplitModeToBlock();
  ids->Update();

  vtkMemoryLimitImageDataStreamer* mlds = 
vtkMemoryLimitImageDataStreamer::New();
  mlds->SetInputConnection( centerImage->GetOutputPort() ) ;
  mlds->SetMemoryLimit ( 10000 ) ;
  mlds->Update();

mybe it is a problem in my concept. i want to load a dataset with a 
resolution of 512 x 512 x 1024, are there other ways to handle such a 
load of data?
my dev environment is visual studio 2005 on winXP SP2

thanks for any information and suggestions
