Do you have any numbers for the rough number of datapoints that can be handled? I'm curious if this enables plotting many millions of datapoints in a scatterplot for example.


Yes! The number of data points can range in the millions. Quite honestly, the quality of your GPU would be the limiting factor here. I will say, however, that for most use cases, an integrated GPU is sufficient. For reference, we have plotted upwards of 3 million points on a mid-range integrated GPU from 2017.

I will work on adding somewhere in our docs some metrics for this kind of thing (I think it could be helpful for many).

Certainly! A comparison of performance with specialized tools for large point clouds would be very interesting (like cloudcompare and potree).
