Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Tikz (\filldraw) error: tex capacity exeed...

[kostao]

I try to draw map whith many countries, for example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[landscape]{geometry}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usetikzlibrary{plotmarks}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usetikzlibrary{datavisualization}
\usepackage[active,tightpage, floats]{preview}

\usepackage{mathspec}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newcommand*{\myfont}{OfficinaSerifC}%{Times New Roman}  {Constantia}
\setmainfont{\myfont}[Ligatures=TeX]
\setsansfont{\myfont}[Scale=0.975]
\setmonofont{\myfont}
\setmathfont(Digits){\myfont}

\setlength\PreviewBorder{50pt}%


\begin{document}
\colorlet{colorForBorder}{gray!10}
\newcommand{\LineWidth}{thick}	
\pagecolor{colorForBorder}
 \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
   \filldraw [fill=red!50, draw=colorForBorder, very thin] plot[] file {USA_8434.txt};
   \filldraw [fill=red!50, draw=colorForBorder, very thin] plot[] file {USA_4286.txt};
 \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Error: TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=5000000]. ...r, \LineWidth] plot[] file {USA_8434.txt};

Compiler is XeLaTex (for use fonts).
How fix it?

Hi kostao,

with XeLaTeX it may be needed to split the plot because of the high amount of memory required for that plot.

However, with LuaLaTeX it runs fine without error. LuaTeX should be able to work with those fonts too. I got with your plot and LuaLaTeX:

How use this code in Luatex whitout errors?

Code: Select all

\usepackage{mathspec}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newcommand*{\myfont}{OfficinaSerifC}%{Times New Roman}  {Constantia}
\setmainfont{\myfont}[Ligatures=TeX]
\setsansfont{\myfont}[Scale=0.975]
\setmonofont{\myfont}
\setmathfont(Digits){\myfont}

Don't use mathspec. You could use the mathastext package. And unicode-math could be useful.

How split the plot? Please write an example.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

You could split your plot txt data files into several small pieces. Then you could use a \filldraw command for each. So you distribute the effort over many separate \filldraw commands, so each one uses less memory.
