Re: [PyMOL] Problems with rendering and saving

[Andreas F. <an...@bi...>]

Hey Florian,

I'd say it's a limitation of your graphics card.  Others should correct=20
me if I'm wrong.  In any case, on my computer, I can write a 6400x4800=20
pixel2 file.

A different question is why I or you would want to do that.  Your final=20
image will have a size of 30 megapixels.  There is no camera in the=20
world that shoots at 30 megapixels, and yet you see digital photographs=20
more than one square meter big for sale.  For a poster you surely don't=20
need 600dpi resolution.  People will look at it from a certain distance,=20
and thus you should be happy with the same number of pixels as in a=20
publication-quality figure.

Just my opinion.
