OutOfMemoryError

Why does this create an out of memory error?

Code:

---

public void setImageToColor()
        {
                image = new BufferedImage(250, 250, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
                Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D)image.getGraphics();
                g.setBackground(color);
        }

I don't know if it has anything to do with it. But image is not a BufferedImage, it is an Image.

I don't know much about this, but maybe if you add an argument to the method? I'm thinking of the Graphics g

It doesn't. Your problem lies elsewhere in code not shown here. Perhaps you're calling this method recursively? We won't know though until you give us more information.

Also, the image variable may be an Image type, but it references a BufferedImage object, so it in fact is a BufferedImage.
