Hello!
When trying to display a [specific](https://material.io/tools/icons/static/icons/baseline-volume_up-24px.svg) svg using shape the P2D renderer spits out a OutOfMemory error. I think this might be a bug.
```auto

Tessellation Error: out of memory
```
The code in question is the following:
```auto
size(100,100,P2D);
PShape s = loadShape("shape.svg");
shape(s, 0, 0, 100, 100);
```
I have 4GB of RAM installed in my system all of which can be used by Processing. `run.options.memory.maximum=4096` Changing the value has no effects on the OutOfMemory exception. The default renderer has no such issues.
Thank You

possibly it has to do with the SVG file (you did not make available )
using the one from the examples, works fine
* * *
so it might be YOUR SVG is to BIG?
or more likely uses one of the newer unsupported SVG features.

Thank you for your answer. I _did_ post the link to the file:
> When trying to display a [specific](https://material.io/tools/icons/static/icons/baseline-volume_up-24px.svg) svg […]
The file’s size is 325 bytes. The example file’s size is 12,081 bytes…
I don’t know how to circumvent this error without changing the renderer!
You said it could be using a unsupported feature. Which svg feature subset _is_ currently supported by Processing?
Thank You

Ok. I found a solution(?). When trying to export a optimized svg from Inkscape you _have to_ select “Work around renderer bugs” otherwise you’ll get a similar error. Unfortunately Inkscape can’t fix already optimized files! It _seems_ to be a bug in the P2D renderer reproducible by not using that option in Inkscape.
---
Can you post the XML content of both files here? The difference between working and non-working versions may help work out what the renderer doesn’t like.

I used the example provided by Processing. “works.svg” and “doesnt.svg” are optimized with Inkscape. Only one checkbox is checked and all other preselected checkboxes have not been checked. Thus the output svg is larger than the input.
