I really don't understand why you would need so much stack space for [visualization of LARGE datasets]. What's wrong with malloc()?

You'll need it if the application recurses a lot, with the recursive functions needing a large amount of space for local variables. It's a tempting way to code things, if you can work out how: function entry and exit does automatically what you'd normally have to hand-craft with malloc() and free(). But execution environments are not normally set up for such profligate stack use, and may not even support it.
