Re: Windows behavior of version 1.35j - corrupt display of 100% image

[Hugo Gratama van Andel]

Dear ImageJ users,
I was looking in the mailinglist-archives to found a solution for an
annoying problem(bug?). I found only one message with the same problem.

Image J is working perfect, but images that are displayed in there original
size (100%) are displayed corrupt(or well, usually a part of my taskbar is
displayed corrupt in the imageframe). When zooming in or out, the correct
image will appear (same for starting an animation of a stack). I am working
withthe latest version of ImageJ;  1.35k, Java 1.5.0_03 on Windows XP x64. I
have a nVidia Quadro FX 3400 graphics card.
Does anyone know a solution or where the problem is caused (imageJ/graphics
card drivers/java )
thanks in advance,
Hugo

Hugo,

It may have been my previous posting that you refer to.  I did not get
any response from the rest of the ImageJ Users community, but I can give
you a little more detail.

I am running ImageJ 1.35k on two systems.  One is a PC running XP, with
1.99GHz processor, 3.25GB RAM, Radeon X600 PRO graphics card, and Java
1.5.0_03.  On this system I am able to turn the problem on and off by
adjusting the memory allocation.  If I set it to 1000MB, there is no
problem.  If I set it to 1500MB, then the problem occurs.

The other system is an HP mobile workstation, running XP with 1700MHz
processor, 1.00GB RAM, ATI Mobility FIRE GL T2 graphics card and Java
1.5.0_01.  I can set the memory at the maximum (1700MB) on this system
and still do not see the problem.

So presently, I have to run the PC aat 1000MB memory, even though I
would like to run it at 1700MB.

That's all I can tell you at this point.  Please let me know if you find
out anything more.

Regards,

Andy Phillips

Andy,
Thanks for your reply. The problem was indeed related to the size of
memory allocation.
When setting the maximum memmory allocation above the  value of 800 MB
the problem would occur, beneath it there was no problem.
As Wayne Rasband wrote I also tried to upgrade the Java Runtime Engine
to 1.5.0_06 to resolve the problem. This didn't help when upgrading with
the 32-bit JRE, but when upgrading with the Windows AMD64 executable it
resolved the problem. I have now 3000 MB as the Maximum memmory
allocation limit, and ImageJ seems to have no problems when running.
Although when I opened a lot of images, up to 2000 MB, ImageJ began to
run terrible slow and opening up more images seemed to fail without any
sign or warning.
Thanks for the help,
Hugo
