Out of memory when drawing large waves

mic, 2012 01 13: In order to make the drawing of wave files faster, Orinj does a lot of the drawing in memory. Whenever a wave needs to be redrawn, the wave image that is already in memory simply gets sent to the screen. This means, however, that drawing of waves, although it does not take much time, it takes some good amount of memory. This is so even though Orinj does not always draw the whole wave on the screen, but sometimes draws only a portion of it – the portion that should be visible. Version 2.3.0 of Orinj and previous versions occasionally had problems running out of the designated java memory, as they were inappropriately accounting for the size of the wave image. This would happen especially when zooming in into the single wave view, in which wave images tend to be much larger. The fix to this problem was uploaded with version 2.4.0 of Orinj on 2012 01 13.
