It was my understanding that R wasn't really the best thing for absolutely huge datasets. 17.5 million points would probably fall under the category of "absolutely huge."
I'm on a little netbook right now (atom/R32) and it failed, but I'll try it on my macbookPro/R64 later and see if it's able to handle the size better. For more information, my error is the following: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 66.8 Mb R(6725,0xa016e500) malloc: *** mmap(size=70000640) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug R(6725,0xa016e500) malloc: *** mmap(size=70000640) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug > sessionInfo() R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) i386-apple-darwin9.8.0 locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] grid stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] sp_0.9-65 mapproj_1.1-8.2 maps_2.1-4 mgcv_1.6-2 ggplot2_0.8.8 [6] reshape_0.8.3 plyr_1.0.2 proto_0.3-8 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] digest_0.4.2 lattice_0.18-8 Matrix_0.999375-39 nlme_3.1-96 [5] tools_2.11.1 On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 11:13, Edwin Husni Sutanudjaja < hsutanudjajacchm...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Dear all, > > I have a memory problem in making a scatter plot of my 17.5 million-pair > datasets. > My intention to use the "ggplot" package and use the "bin2d".
