Interesting.
 Thanks again for the response.

 With respect to plplot I have the same feeling
as Derek. It is probably because of the lack of
a high level interface to plplot
similar to PDL::Graphcis::PGPLOT::WIndow

Again, sorry to take so long to respond to this.  The PGPLOT pixel
drivers have a hard coded limit for the maximum length of a raster
(row of pixels).  I believe it is 1024 pixels.  That affects *all*
pixel based image formats, including X, PNG, PPM, GIF, etc.
PostScript and other shape-based devices are not affected.

The hard limit is imposed by PGPLOT, not by PDL.

Yet another reason to get the PLPlot stuff up to snuff.  (Derek
occasionally messes around with it but tells me that it's still
several times more painful than PGPLOT to use for normal stuff...)
