Hi,
I am using imshow to illustrate the content of arrays. But I am having
problems when arrays are too large. There seem to be a limitation that is
not due to the computer memory size. My data are unsigned integer 1 byte and
I am limited to array of about 12000 x 5000.
When trying with a 16000 x 5000 array, my 4 GB computer got very slow and
never perform the creation of the image. After 10 minutes, I have to kill
the process. On a 16 GB computer, I've got a segmentation fault message. The
size limitation are approximately the same on both computers.
I found a solution by calling twice the imshow function with only part of
the array each time. But I think there might be a better solution.
My feeling is that the limitation is not due to matplotlib or python but
rather from gtk or other part of the imaging tools.

What version of mpl are you using? There was a bug fixed over the
summer regarding seg faults and memory usage.
