Comment (by hamish):

 FWIW, I've been able to plot a vector map in NVIZ which had 1 million
 faces*, it took some time to render but it worked ok.
 * NYC 3D buildings dataset


 (but points are treated differently than lines and faces in NVIZ)

 see also bug #49: NVIZ displays points (sites) always as thematic



 In the past I was able to plot 3D points, but created a new constant
 surface (so no mapname) from the raster panel and set transparency for it
 to 100%; a trick I'm sure you know. screenshot:

 does it work for you with fewer points or does it work with a surface
 (constant or raster map)? [what do you mean by "without other map"?]

 {{{
 Error in startup script: can't use non-numeric floating-point value as
 operand of "*"
     while executing
 "expr int($curr * 1)"
     (procedure "Nv_mkFloatScale" line 16)
     invoked from within
 "Nv_mkFloatScale   .....
 }}}

 hmmm,
