[GPlates-discuss] Exporting high-resolution reconstructed rasters

[Thomas Schaap]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to export a high-resolution (0.0005 degree cellsize) numerical raster which I have reconstructed using GPlates. I would ideally like to keep this resolution, but the GPlates console gives me this:

ERROR 2: Cannot allocate 1036800000000 bytes on this platform.
[Warning] Unable to create in-memory dataset for writing rasters.

Now please correct me if I misunderstand what's going on here, but the original TIF file was only 43 megabytes, yet GPlates is asking for 1 terabyte of memory? The lowest cellsize I have been allowed to export is 0.01 degrees.

Is there something I am misunderstanding about the raster export process? Is there some way around this?

Thanks in advance!

Tom
