Re: [PyMOL] ray

[Joel T. <joe...@ot...>]

Hi Kostas,

I tghink generally 300 dpi is sufficient for publication but you can ray 
trace to any sort of resolution and then down size your graphic. See 
posts on High end graphics but this should help

*To get 4in by 4in figure @600dpi

ray 2400, 2400*

*
*

*Then png picture.png

Then resize in something like photoshop...increase resolution to that desired and reduce image size so file size is similar to original

Hope this helps

J*
