I have a Mac with a 1600 x 1024 display. I want to create a window to
display an image that is, say, 2000 x 200. (I know that I won't be able
to view the whole thing at one time.)
I find that the widest window I can create is 1541 pixels.
I don't know any reason why this would be an IDL issue. Does anyone
know if this is a generic X11 issue or an Apple X11 issue? (I thought
one could create windows larger than the display under X.)
