How may I increase the heap space ?

Question

Hi, I have a graphml file which is somehow big (~1 000 nodes, ~75 000 edges) and yed deitor fails to load the graph due to the heap space.

I set the -XmX paramaeter to 1500mo but the heap explodes around 600 mo (by waching the size of the process in memory using the task manager).

I am missign somthing ? Indeed I do not reach my 1500mo upper limit when i got the java exception in Yed ( from yed popup=> Exception Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space)

Any help is of course appreciated :)

otherwise I must say I am very impressed by your technology :)

Regards,

Alexis

Please see How can I prevent 'Out of Memory' errors in yEd? for information on how to increase the heap space. Please note that JVM options are case-sensitive, so -XmX will not work. Moreover, 1500mo is not a valid size specifier! The correct usage is -Xmx1500m
