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 Emilio On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 2:39 AM, Brenton Horne <brentonho...@ymail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'd like to know if it is possible to save PNG images of a structure > that have a higher resolution (in terms of pixels, e.g., 4000 px wide as > opposed to my usual of 1146 px wide).
