Pack

1
I am trying to run an experiment that requires a lot of memory
(generating colored stimuli on each trial). I am trying to use the
Pack function to free up space but it is crashing my program even
although it works fine when I put the same code directly in the
command window. I suspect its because it is moving on to the next
part of the program code before completing the Pack command so all of
the variables are not restored in the workspace. Is there anyway
round this?

Hi Liza: I'd recommend just getting more memory. Memory's really cheap
these days. We run experiments in which we generate several thousand
off-screen windows. We allocate between 500 Mb and 800 Mb to matlab, and
have no memory problems.
