What means: " ***** ERROR in IPM : Not enough space in memory" ?

Very likely the option ZFL or ZFL1 is on. This option allows to create a copy in memory of the picture on the screen. This is a memory resident data structure and if the space is not available this message is printed. Turning this option off will fix the problem. The error message:


 **** ERROR in IGTABL : Not enough space in memory

is due to the same problem.

The option ZFL1 is often used to be able to generate PostScript files with the command PI/PRINT. With such big pictures (too large to fit in memory) it is nevertheless possible to generate a PostScript file. First the option ZFL1 should be deactivated with the command OPTION NZFL, and then proceed as follow:


 PAW > For/File 66 filename.ps
 PAW > Metafile 66 -111
      .
      .
      here put your graphic commands
      .
      .
 PAW > close 66
