MaxPlotPoints
is an option for plotting functions like ArrayPlot and ListPlot3D that specifies the maximum number of points that will explicitly be included in the output.
Details

- With MaxPlotPoints->Infinity all points in the input will be included in the output.
- With finite settings for MaxPlotPoints, the total number of points plotted is reduced by combining nearby points.
