Re: [PyMOL] Saving Images

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

If you would like appropriately scaled images then you can set up your 
viewer to the appropriate dimensions eg for a square

viewport 700,700

or rectangle

viewport 800,400

If using a square I then use

ray 1800,1800

this ray traces an image larger than your pymol window and allows you to 
save it. This will help with higher resolution images. Newer versions 
show a preview. You canuop the resolution by increasing the ray pixels

Hope this helps
