| + | When you run MIPAV for the first time you must specify the amount of memory that you would like to allocate, so that MIPAV can take the full advantage of the memory resources available in your machine.

| + | '''Note:''' [[FAQ: Understanding Memory | MIPAV’s memory allocation]] is a program-level feature and it affects all users of a given MIPAV installation. You can only change the amount of allocated memory, if you are running MIPAV using an administrative account. |

| − | You must restart of MIPAV for the changes to take effect. To exit MIPAV, select File > Exit. Then, restart the software.
| + | When MIPAV performs a function, such as visualizing an image file, it uses memory. When the function completes (i.e., the visualized image closed), you can manually free the memory so it can be used for another function. The first step is to view how much memory is currently being used and to free needlessly reserved memory. Then, if necessary, you may need to allocate additional memory. |

| + | == To manually free memory == |
| | | | |
| − | [[Image:MemoryMonitorDialogBox.jpg|center]] | + | [[File:GarbageCollector.jpg|frameless]] As Java-based programs run, they often leave old variables, objects, or constructors in memory. For instance, if you delineate a VOI, the coordinates of the contours may remain in memory even after you close the image. Java provides a method called the ''garbage collector'' (or ''memory recycling'') that automatically freeing objects that are no longer referenced by the program and clears all unnecessarily reserved memory. Generally, the software does this automatically when free memory becomes very limited. However, you can run the garbage collector at any time to free memory by clicking the Garbage Collector button on the main MIPAV window. You can also free memory in the Memory Monitor dialog box by clicking the Free Memory button.<br /> |

| − | If you need more memory, you can allocate virtual memory or disk swap space if there is free space on your hard drive. For instructions on how to do this, refer to the documentation for your system. If you cannot assign more virtual memory or disk swap space, you may need to install additional memory.

| + | |
| − | *the number of the current slice and the total number of slices in the dataset, e.g. 62/124;<br />

| − | === Supported formats ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can use MIPAV to open or load files of a variety of medical and generic graphics and multimedia file formats. Table 1 lists the format, extension, and whether MIPAV can read or write files of a particular format. The <span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">''<font color="#000000">extension</font>''</span>, which is the last few characters of a file name including the period, indicates the file format. For example, in the file name <span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">''<font color="#000000">DOE255.ima</font>''</span>, the extension <span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">''<font color="#000000">.ima</font>''</span> indicates that the file is stored in DICOM format. In the table, the Read column indicates that MIPAV can display image files of a particular format. When a file is read, it is stored in main memory so that MIPAV can access it. The Write column means that MIPAV can copy the data from the memory to a storage destination, such as your hard disk. In this context, <span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">''<font color="#000000">write</font>''</span> is synonymous with <span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">''<font color="#000000">save</font>''</span>.

When you run MIPAV for the first time you must specify the amount of memory that you would like to allocate, so that MIPAV can take the full advantage of the memory resources available in your machine. For more information about user permissions, memory limits, and memory usage in different operation systems, refer to: FAQ: Understanding Memory.
When MIPAV performs a function, such as visualizing an image file, it uses memory. When the function completes (i.e., the visualized image closed), you can manually free the memory so it can be used for another function. The first step is to view how much memory is currently being used and to free needlessly reserved memory. Then, if necessary, you may need to allocate additional memory.
Now, when additional memory is needed, MIPAV allocates it until the memory reaches the maximum heap size that you specify.
You can allocate virtual memory or disk swap space if there is free space on your hard drive. For instructions on how to do this, refer to the documentation for your system. If you cannot assign more virtual memory or disk swap space, you may need to install additional memory.
As Java-based programs run, they often leave old variables, objects, or constructors in memory. For instance, if you delineate a VOI, the coordinates of the contours may remain in memory even after you close the image. Java provides a method called the garbage collector (or memory recycling) that automatically freeing objects that are no longer referenced by the program and clears all unnecessarily reserved memory. Generally, the software does this automatically when free memory becomes very limited. However, you can run the garbage collector at any time to free memory by clicking the Garbage Collector button on the main MIPAV window. You can also free memory in the Memory Monitor dialog box by clicking the Free Memory button.
