Depending upon your application and needs, of course, the practical
upper limit on most surface plots is an array of about 80 by 80.
Arrays larger than that just produce too many lines to be easily
visualized in a normal-sized window. I like a surface plot of
about 60 by 60, so I find myself writing a lot of code that
looks like this:
s = Size(array)
IF s[1] GT 60 OR s[2] GT 60 THEN $
Surface, Congrid(array, 60, 60) ELSE Surface, array
Cheers,
