Dear list,

I am developing a plugin in ImageJ, when I run this Plugin, the memory
goes to very high (~GB). I have used gabage collection in the java code
(even repeat several times), I still cannot resolve this problem. The
memory use keeps high even the plugin finishes. What interesting is when
I right click on the memory monitor window of ImageJ, the memory goes to
low immediately, within several clicks, it goes to normal level (several
MB). (I have set a memory of 1.4GB for ImageJ.)

when I do 3D analyzing on a small stack-image (8bit,50x50x35), it can
run to the end successfully. if it's a big image(8bit, 255x255x35), then
I got the exception:
" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space"

I would appreciate any suggestions and help.

best wishes!
