I'm using linux/unix with remote X.
And, when I said "(3, 210,000)", I meant 3 columns and 210,000 rows,
thus 210,000 data points.
These points plot a galactic image(stars, galaxies, clouds,...)
I'm using symbols of spheres with linestyle = 6 thus, it does not
connect each
individual point, but rather show as points of spheres.
I'm not sure what graphics card installed on my machine.

How do I check those in my command line?
