4000x2000 is trivial.

cgPS_Start, 'mystuff.png'
cgDisplay, 800, 400
... graphics commands here
cgPS_Close, Width=4000

40000x20000 pixels is pretty damn big. What exactly are you going to do
with something that big? I suppose you can make a PostScript file that
big (poster presentation?) 40000/300dpi = something over 11 feet long.
That's pretty good size!

Really!? You think you can do that in the Z-buffer? I guess I'd had to
see it to believe it. :-)

Cheers,
