Re: [PyMOL] Is it possible to write PNG images in PyMOL of higher resolution than the viewing window?

[Emilio X. E. <emi...@gm...>]

Hi Brenton
>From the PyMOL command line the PNG file creation/saving command is:
PyMOL> png filename, width, height, dpi, ray=1

Notice that ray equals 1 to create a ray-traced image. The dpi option
can be set to your desired resolution in dots-per-inch and the width
and height options use the units pixels. If only width or height is
provided, the aspect ratio of the viewing window is retained. Please
see http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Png for more information.

For example:
PyMOL> png dimer.png, width=4000, dpi=300, ray=1

To save png files with transparent backgrounds:
PyMOL> set opaque_background, off
PyMOL> png dimer.png, width=4000, dpi=300, ray=1
