It's not pretty, and this is easy enough to do by hand, but I've had
enough people ask me about this that I hacked up a little rendering plugin
just now. Can someone grab it from
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mlerner/PyMOL/rendering.py
put it in $PYMOL_PATH/modules/pmg_tk/startup/ (or whatever it is you do on
your OS of choice) and tell me what you think?

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=300
# OpenGL:
draw 1200,900
png hires_ogl.pdb, dpi=300
Cheers,
Warren

Subject: [PyMOL] Producing publication quality images
Hi. I'm wondering if there's a way to make pymol produce
high-quality images suitable for publication.
I've used ray/png to produce images, but the person I pass
them on to tells me they're only 50 to 100 dpi, and they're
wanting 300 dpi if possible.
Is there a way to do this in pymol? Or can I export image
data and use some other tools to get to a 300dpi image?
BTW, I'll try to make sure that pymol gets credited in the paper.
Thanks,
Terry
