when I make a polygon with 100,000 vertices my X-server is being
killed. This occurs in R-2.9.0 and a freshly installed R-2.10.0
I'm running Ubuntu with a locally compiled R:
uname -a
Linux onyx 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 16:22:17 UTC 2009
x86_64 GNU/Linux
xlower = -2e6:2e6
xupper = rev(xlower)
ylower = runif(length(xlower))
yupper = ylower+.1
plot(NA,xlim=range(xlower),ylim=range(ylower))
idx=1:10000
# it draws fine for lower number of vertices:
polygon(x=c(xlower[idx],xupper[idx]),y=c(ylower[idx],yupper[idx]),col='grey')
# but X is killed when I draw 100000 vertices or more
idx=1:100000
# I've commented the next call to prevent people accidently
# killing their X?
#polygon(x=c(xlower[idx],xupper[idx]),y=c(ylower[idx],yupper[idx]),col='grey')

I've posted above to the R-help list and got replies from Uwe Ligges saying it
also killed his Windows completely.
