RE: [PyMOL] Producing publication quality images

[Warren D. <wa...@de...>]

Terry,

The trick is to render large and then reduce.  With recent versions, you
can do something like this

# To get a 300 dpi PNG file for a 4 inch by 3 inch image...

# Ray-traced:

ray 1200,900
png hires_ray.pdb, dpi=3D300

# OpenGL:

draw 1200,900
png hires_ogl.pdb, dpi=3D300

Cheers,
Warren
