Paul, I agree the it seems that 32767 would be more than enough but alas reality intrudes. On desktop you can easily get to the bottom and on mobile a few flicks will get you to the bottom. I use the same code(LC server) for the http html version and there is no problem there when the search returns an obscene number of results.

However, on one customer data set it started blowing up. It turns out that one of the bars was "huge" (an the order of 400k px) at the zoom level where they could see the details in the remaining bars. So, in this case the researchers wanted to "zoom" in on noise in a larger data set, causing that larger data to become huge in a graph. And yes, you can code in bounds limits and attaching labels to indicate a bar is out of bound or exceeds display area, etc., but I do agree that for a number of applications having a large drawing area would be a big improvement.
