Dear Jonathan:
I do not have experience with the tablet model you own, but I have used a touchscreen Fujitsu Lifebook extensively for marking up images for analysis. It worked without a hitch. Probably this is a problem specifically with your Thinkpad and ImageJ or Java.
If you think that swapping is a problem, you could disable it and see if that helps (sometimes it will). You could also try changing the amount of memory that ImageJ has available. You can use the ImageJ memory monitor (Plugins | Utilities | Memory Monitor) to check up on memory usage, too.
Good luck,
toby

Subject: Problem using ImageJ with touch-screen tablet
I've been trying unsuccessfully to use ImageJ on an IBM Thinkpad X41
tablet, in that soon after I touch the pen to the screen to draw some
necessary lines on scanned leaf images (in order to do assessments of
leaf area lost) I get an ImageJ error message saying that there's no
memory. In fact, the tablet has a gig of RAM, so the problem is
probably due to the relatively slow access to the hard drive, hindering
swapping. The OS is Windows XP tablet edition 2005 (version 2002)
Service Pack 2. Have any of you had similar problems using ImageJ with
a tablet, and if so, how have you overcome them?
A while back, I posted a query on assessing herbivory, and within a
short time got quite a few thoughtful and helpful responses, for which
I'm very grateful. I'm hoping that you have a solution to the current
problem.
Thanking you in advance,
Jonathan Rosenthal
