Trouble using readgeoraster and mapshow

I#m trying to figure out how to work with tif files in Matlab. I tried following this example:

https://de.mathworks.com/help/map/ref/readgeoraster.html

But when I try executing this code:

(Data from https://land.copernicus.eu/pan-european/corine-land-cover/clc-2006?tab=mapview )

[A,R,cmap] = readgeoraster('U2012_CLC2006_V2020_20u1.tif');
geoshow(A,cmap,R)

I get this Error Message

Error using repmat
Requested 46000x65000x3 (8.4GB) array exceeds maximum array size preference. Creation of arrays greater than this limit may take a long time and cause MATLAB to become unresponsive.

Error in checkImage (line 39)
        A = repmat(A,[1 1 3]);

Error in validateTextureComponent (line 70)
                dataArgs{imageIndex} = checkImage( ...

Error in validateGeoRasterData (line 23)
    [dataArgs, R, imageIndex, rules] = validateTextureComponent( ...

Error in georastershow (line 144)
    validateGeoRasterData('geoshow', dataArgs, displayType);

Error in geoshow (line 242)
h = showFcn(varargin{:});

Error in tif (line 6)
geoshow(A,cmap,R)

What should I do to fix this error? Is the file simply too big?

Hey Michael,

You can specify the size of maximum array under 'Preferences'.

Kindly refer to the doc here to do so.
