It looks like the maximum changed between 5.5 and 5.6. 5.5 and below it is
1600x1200 and in 5.6 ix is 2400x2400.

It is a software issue. IDLgrBuffer uses the software renderer (Mesa). We
upgraded the version of Mesa for IDL 5.6 and the maximum buffer size changed
to 2048x2048 as a result of that upgrade. The max buffer size for
IDLgrBuffer is independent of your graphics hardware.

Hi Karl,
I used versions 5.1 and 5.5, both of them with the same limit. Do you
think is just a software issue?
thanks,

What version of IDL are you using?
I can get 2048 x 2048 with IDL 5.6.
