Re: Ignored Parameters [was Re: memory error]

Hi Mark,

Both the do_contours and memsize work for me (the do_contour = 1 for
turning off contours is a documentation typo, by the way). A couple of
things to look at:

- Are you using LAS v5.2? The memsize parameter only works in 5.2
- LAS caches data/graphics requests. If you change the XML file and then
request data from LAS without changing the requested region or product
type, then you won't see any changes because the cached version will be
used. You can get around this by removing all files in the
lasxml/server/output directory after each request.
