Hello,
I am plotting a bunch of streamlines using the 'flow' command in a for loop. After plotting each streamline, I store the values of coordinates and field magnitude along the line in a file, then I move to the next streamline. Here it is a sample of the code (Bx,By and Bz represent the vector field components): from enthought.mayavi.mlab import * options.offscreen = True x = np.array([0,1,2,3,4]) y = np.array([2,2,2,2,2]) z = np.array([0,1,2,3,4]) for i in range(x) : for k in range(z) : fl = flow(Bx,By,Bz,seedtype='point',integration_direction='forward') fl.seed.widget.position = [x[i], y[i], z[k]] dataset = fl.outputs[0] fl.remove xS, yS, zS = dataset.points.to_array().T Bmod = dataset.point_data.scalars.to_array() ##store xS, yS, zS, Bmod to a file This is the problem: during the loop the memory used (VIRT, RES, %MEM in the "top" terminal command) increases abruptly in a couple of loop! I read some discussions on the web about this and I tried to add clf(), gfc() and/or close() after the fl.remove, but nothing happens... Notice that I run my script after ssh-ing to another machine which is faster than mine, even I suppose it is not the source of the problem. Anyone has any hints?
