[vtkusers] vtkPointLocator - Memory problem

[A. Burak Yoldemir]

Hello all,

I am working on a large project and a part of it consumes a huge amount of
memory (more than 10 GB), making the program crash.  In that part of the
program, I repeatedly call the *FindPointsWithinRadius *function of
the *vtkPointLocator
*class. I am curious whether locating the points may cause such a large
memory consumption. Here are some details:

The dataset of the locator is set once at the very beginning. Dataset
consists of approximately 20k points. I call *FindPointsWithinRadius *function
approximately 20k times, and at each time, approximately 50 to 100 points
are located.

Would this operation consume a large amount of memory? If so, is there any
way I can release this memory after locating the points?

Thanks in advance,

Burak
